Clawfoot Bathtub Refinishing and Repairing
Ease the Tension with a Clawfoot Tub
Tubs have been around since ancient times, but only in the last century or so has bathing become an essential requirement of everyday life. This is why built-in bathtub and shower units were invented. They’re cheap, quick to install and easy to maintain. But if you’re only looking for efficiency, you could be missing out on a lot of other luxuries a bathtub could provide. Clawfoot tubs have been around for generations, and though they preserve that antique look of the past, they have been thoroughly modified over time to offer modern conveniences.
You Now Have Options
Since the clawfoot tub has become so popular lately there has been a need to modernize them in order to fit the conveniences of contemporary lifestyles. They are still bigger than normal bath units for ideal R and R, but they also come in a large assortment of shapes and styles. You can ask a plumbing professional which tub best fits the size and shape of your bathroom if you’re uncertain.
Slipper Tubs: This is a tub where one end is raised with a gentle sloping, offering more comfort for lounging. This is why clawfoot tubs are often referred to as “soaker tubs” and they are perfect for unwinding.
Double-Ended Tub: A tub that is raised on both ends and dips in the middle; often the fixtures and faucets are centered in the middle. This is still great for reclining, but since there is less risk of spillage, it’s also great for bathing children.
Cast-Iron Tub: If you want a more classical look, cast iron-tubs are still made for those antique collectors out there. The benefits of cast iron are that it can be painted any color and they often have more options for shower installations. They are still coated in porcelain because it fights against abrasions and is more stain resistant than metal. Plus these tubs are durable and have a long lifespan. But they are also heavy (up to 500 pounds); therefore they are also difficult to move around and may require more floor support underneath them.
Acrylic Tubs: A clawfoot tub can now come in a light-weight form that is easy to move between homes and the upper stories of a house. Acrylic is also a natural insulator so bathwater stays warm longer. It also resists chipping, but it can still be scratched so never use abrasive cleaners on it but rather gentler detergents that can wash away quickly.
