My partner has decided that she does not like the brownish spots that have appeared under the surface of her GRP bath and which show through. It is a long discontinued deep yellow colour.
Google produces lots of bath resurfacing companies, mostly for enamal, but I've not found any DIY solutions. Does anyone know of a suitable product that will allow me to refinish it for her?

MM. You might be able to rough it up and apply a new gel coat.
It would probably dribble a bit, but a good hard rub down with wet and dry and some T-cut should sort out any irregularities afterwards..
But a new bath is pretty cheap, or get a better acrylic one?
Not just any gelcoat, you need wax inhibited gelcoat
Maybe the attachment to the old tub is that it's a proper size bath unlike most modern stuff which is designed for minimum water content and minimum space for large ar$es.
I was hoping to avoid quite that much work.
Good idea. I was wondering whether there was a paint that would stand up to regular immersion in water and not rub off on the occupant, but had not thought of boat paint.
She is looking for a least disturbance option and, as the colour is discontinued, changing the bath would mean changing the handbasin and WC too.
