We all enjoyed the glorious winter weather yesterday, and spent the entire day outside in the garden, blowing giant bubbles, riding bikes and playing chase. We even got a chance to make a start on our bath restoration.
During my ebay travels I managed to score another free standing cast iron bath. This one is brand new and only cost me $107 dollars (these retail for around $3000)! It has two wooden blocks to mount it on (not shown in these photos). The only damage is a large chip on the rim which I don't think will be too hard to fix.
We did a test fill of one chip with some UV resin and did a patch test of some paint on an inconspicuous spot to try and match the colour. I'll give more details of the restoration process when I get started.
I'm blogging over at food fanatics today with a recipe for sweet potato brownies so if you're interested check it out.

'Chip' might be a bit of an understatement? However if its fixable you've got a great bargain. Good luck!
