A while ago, someone on here said that T-Cut could be used to get rid of water stains and restore the shininess (sp?) of an enamelled bath - then someone else said that T-Cut wasn't really up to the job and recommended a cutting compound.
My question is, which cutting compound? Are there different brands/names/grades? Or do I just ask for "A tub of cutting compound, please"?
Finally - where do I get it? Somewhere like Machine Mart? B&Q?
Cheers,

ermm, well i am pretty sure we have an enamel bath and we use 'power bath' available at Tesco - it looks American and has 'really works' written all over it...alas, it really does work!
it looks like this.
is in need of much more than 'power bath'. It's either going to have to be some form of cutting compound or a resurfacing kit such as this one

Hey, don't underestimate the power of PB, they didn't put the POWER in there for a laugh ya know :)
Have you got a picture of said bath?
Not here but I'll be down at the house tomorrow. At the moment it's lent up against a wall - if there's anyone there to help me lower it down, I'll post a photo for your edification :o)

afaik, it's Australian!
It's possible Halfords stock it.
I looked into bath resurfacing a few years back and came to the conclusion it's largely a waste of time.

Have you tried Ajax, which you can still get from a cleaning supply shop or ironmonger (or even the 'net?
Farecla is one of the better ones. It's designed for cutting back car paint. You'd need to go to an automotive paint supplier. Although Halfords do an own brand that looks suspiciously like it.
However, something like Brasso will work nearly as well.
Bath enamel is much, much harder than car paint.
Hi;
I have used lemon (real or the jiff bottled juice) to rid a lot of bath/sink problems.
If the damage is actually etched into the enamel all you can do is cut back with something like Tcut but whatever you do will need elbow grease.
My daughter has just had hers re-enameled as her partners likes cast baths and I repaired a bran new pressed steel enamel bath chipped by the plumber with a small repair tube of whatever from a plumber merchant. So they are repairable, just alot of work.
Regards Ian
Is that real enamel, or paint?
P.S. bran is the stuff you get in cereal.
