We need to get our bathroom done ASAP (non-functioning bath tap, leaks, bath resting on asbestos cement cutoffs, water-damaged floorboards, etc.)
I quite like our existing bath - I think it's the original 1930s cast-iron bath, with nice art deco feet. Quotes for getting it re-enamelled are much less than a new bath of similar spec.
However, bathroom fitters aren't minded to mess about with it - apparently it's hard to fit a waste in a way that doesn't leak, and they're understandably not that interested in moving it out of the bathroom while they tile the floor.
Is it worth keeping?
I feel like I was dead set on it till a bathroom fitter yesterday talked a bit of sense into me. Now I could go either way.
