I know they can be refinished (lose long term durability)or have an insert made (expensive).
I have a very old cast iron porcelain tub that in good condition except that the finish is rough which makes it difficult if not impossible to clean well. Looks a bit grungy after much scouring. It has no chips or cracks or rust. Since its old and probably has a thick layer of porcelain I was thinking of sanding with my ROS using very high grit paper. I know it's available up to 6000 grit at least. Is the worth a try or is it a disaster in waiting? Not sure what my starting and finishing grits should be. Anyone attempt this or have advice?
