Resurfacing cast iron bath

We are refurbishing out bathroom but are not replacing the bath, which is a cast iron one. Instead we should like to have it resurfaced. Has anyone had this done? If so, what was the experience like? Any firms you could recommend. Thanks.

    They coat your bath - looks like new for about 5 years or so, costs about £300-£350 ish?? Having ours done on Friday!

    Thanks. I know they have to mask off the area but so they have to mask the whole room? The reason I ask is that I have just had it re-painted and I if they stick tape all over the walls it is likely to damage the paint. The walls are (or will be) tiled about 2/3 of the way up and putting tape on the tiles wouldn't be a problem of course. If masking the whole room is how it has to be done then I will just have to ave any paint damage sorted out afterwards.
