Will it work to get rid of stripes in the bath?

Apparently it will.

Our cast iron enamel bath is like frickin sand paper on the bottom (was like it when we bought the house)  :eek.  I.suspect tcut won't fix that though.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one.  Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.

If your bath is cast iron or steel then I don't think Tcut will do it as the enamel is like glass that has been melted on at very high temp. so unless it's just surface marks  I would try the old fashioned scouring powder like vim, if you can still get it?

If you get it re-enameled it will be enamel paint which is like tile paint, looks good for a while but scratches and fades so unless its a fancy Victorian cast bath, a new bath is the answer or get it re-enameled if there's anyone still doing it? (take bath out, shotblast old enamel off put in furnace through powdered glass on etc.) sounds expensive does it not?
