Bath in need of HELP!!!!
 
Hi. I have a cast iron bath..about 25 years old, which through the years has become stained and discoloured.. using hair colours etc hasnt helped. Has anyone got any ideas how I could clean it up? Thanks for reading.

limescale?
 
I am sure this is common in England in bigger cities, maybe a solvant used for limescale or something.
Or even google a site that maybe 'relines' these baths. Just two thoughts on this prob.

Hi,


There is a product available called Max Strength Spirits of Salt, it is reasonably priced at €4.99, It is a VERY STRONG ACID CLEANER AND DESCALER, it contains 32% hydrochloric acid, BUT cleans everything ... put it in the most disgusting toilet ever ... in 15 mins its like new... I have used this product for years . It is made in the uk.. their website is www.challs.com or call 0044 8706030420

WARNING... use proper protection with this chemical, causes burns , wear suitable gloves and eye protection, avoid breathing fumes, do not mix with other chemicals....

Always test on an inconspicious area first....


Hope it helps

re Bath in need of HELP!!!!
 
I got mine resurfaced by a company I found in the yellow pages, The bath Resurfacing Co. They did a lovely job, looks really well. It cost about €250. I now take really good care of it, and it looks as well as it did a year ago when I got the job done.
