Why Purchase a Clawfoot Tub?

A few reasons that you might never have considered

Other than the idea that bathing in general just makes sense, there are some really great reasons to invest in a clawfoot tub. In fact, "invest" might not even be the right term, as purchasing a refinished clawfoot tub is an extremely reasonable buy, especially considering all of the hard work that goes into restoring one.

Clawfoot tub restoration

An important fact to note is that clawfoot tubs are restored both inside and out. Part of the magic of refinishing a clawfoot tub is that the exterior of the tub is completely sandblasted, and at first, doesn't make for a very pretty picture at all. Actually, one might think that this would ruin the tub, but the process is what makes the final product so beautiful.

After the sandblasting, a rust-inhibiting primer is applied both inside and out, which makes a world of difference in the appearance of the clawfoot tub. This primer is necessary to protect the tub from water damage. At this point, the inside of the tub is also resurfaced to give it a sleek, comfortable feel.

This unique refinishing method is designed with the longevity and beauty of the refurbished clawfoot tub in mind. If you so desire, you even have the option of having your tub custom painted, rather than leaving it the traditional white color.

Clawfoot tub accessories

Other reasons that make owning a clawfoot tub so much fun are the accessories! The feet alone are a huge part of what makes a clawfoot tub so unique, and there are hundreds of styles to choose from, be it genuine antique to modern contemporary. Even brass, chrome or paint finishes on the feet will look great, all depending on your bathroom decor or your clawfoot tub finish color. Don't forget that faucets can really add a distinctive touch when you're refinishing a clawfoot tub, and that there are hundreds of options for those as well.

Set your bathroom apart

Purchasing a new clawfoot tub for your bathroom isn't only an economical choice, but also a stylish one. Your tub will give you years of enjoyment, and a look and feel to your bathroom that only a clawfoot tub can.
