Fountain repair / paint

[scaff]

Hi Guys,

I have a fountain to repair in the next couple of weeks, it's have a good clean out then it needs re-painting, just looking for some advice on what to paint it with and how far back I need to go with the old paint ( just remove flaky bits or more ).

There are no fish in here or animals so it doesn't need to be over friendly but it is in a school.

After removing the water and debris, pressure jet the flaking areas, dry thoroughly, then apply a seamless coating of black bitumastic paint, applied with a roller, there are several roofing paints that will give a waterproof finish.

Update :

Well the weather here has been awful sdo I have not managed to paint yet although it has had a good wash down.
Screwfix did not have anything in stock when I went there so I had a look in wickes as I had other stuff to get, they had this tub and much cheaper !
