I posted a few weeks ago about the 1930's chair bath we'd acquired. It had been sandblasted back to a lovely matte finish, but one that was sadly appearing quite porous. We researched to find a way to seal it so it could be used without fear of staining and the best option appeared to be to just get it re-enamelled.
I found a company nearby called Refinishing Touch who were able to help. It turned out to be a more intensive job than I expected -- and more expensive -- but they did a brilliant job so it was well worth it.
First, they created a smooth surface by rubbing back and filling in all the little bumps. The darker bits in this photo show it while it was drying:

Next came the spraying. It was ventilated out the back door, with the room sealed off to try and stop the smell of the chemicals coming into the house. This photo was taken through the window looking into the back room as it wasn't safe to go in while he was spraying without a mask:
It took the best part of a day to do the work, but the finished result is splendid -- all shiny looking like a normal bath finish. I think it's going to work really well.
