help...... re-enameling bath

Hi,
My bath has got some scratch marks is it possible to re-enamel the bath or cheaper to replace,

If so where can I get it re-enameled? Is there any special paint that you can get?

Thank you in advance

Dont bother reanamalling it as it never looks right WE once had a council flat many years ago they re-enamalled it for us and was back in orginal state within two months buy a plastic bath as they are warmer cheaper and easier to clean ( ONLY MY OPINON)

I had a bath re-enambled once to and i agree wiith calmgirl it was a complete waste of time and within months I had to get a new bath

We had our bath professionally re-enamelled on my son's 2nd birthday, and he's now 17 and a half! It's just slightly chipped at the bottom now, but has lasted well.

I've seen many versions of 're-enamelling' over the years, and most involve a can of spray paint and a heater stuck next to the bath in situ'! I've never seen the job done properly.
