<p>A method for reflanging a broadly flanged vessel such as a bath (11). The method includes firstly cutting off the expansive flange portion (19) of the bath (11) so as to retain a uniform peripheral edge (17). A pre-formed moulding (21) having a complementary inner engaging portion (23) and an outer contoured portion (25) is then located in apposition with the edge (17). The method includes fixedly engaging the moulding (21) and the edge (17) in such apposition. The moulding (21) and the edge (17) have keyways (34 and 20), previously formed therein, which are keyed with a keying filler (42). The method then includes moulding the moulding (21) and the edge (17) with a bonding filler (44) to form a continuous and contoured outer surface extending from inside the bath (11) to the outer periphery of the outer contoured portion (25). Finally, the outer surface is smoothed and coated to finish reflanging of the bath (11). Various alternative mouldings and flanging arrangements are also described together with jig arrangements for forming the mouldings from extrusions.</p> |
