Clawfoot Tub Fixtures and Accessories

Now that you have your vintage tub, you may want to buy some accessories to complement it.  Fortunately, there are a number of lovely fixtures and accessories available in a wide range of designs and styles that will add functional elegance and beauty to your clawfoot bathtub.

Bath Faucets

There are a number of fixtures and accessories available for clawfoot bathtubs.  Perhaps the most obvious is the bath faucet, which is usually made of brass, and often comes with nickel and chrome plated options. Handles are usually made of porcelain or metal. 

Prices for these faucets start as low as $50 for entry-level quality, all the way up to hundreds of dollars for premium faucets.  Clawfoot tub faucets are usually configured to be attached in one of three ways:  tub wall mounted, deck/rim mounted, or free-standing.  

Shower Heads and Attachments

In addition to tub faucets, there are shower heads and attachments that can be added to a tub to increase its functional use.  Shower faucets are usually configured as hand held attachments affixed to the tub faucet, or as free standing faucets attached to the wall or the floor.  Prices start at about $150 and run to over a thousand dollars or more for some faucets.

Shower Enclosures and Curtains

Another fixture necessary for a shower head installation is the shower enclosure ring.  Shower enclosures often come as a kit installation, containing rectangular shower curtain rod, ceiling supports, wall support, and wall mounts.  If you're going to take a stand up shower, you need a shower enclosure and a shower curtain to keep the water from getting all over the floor.  Shower enclosures range from about $100 to $600 or more.  

Other Useful Accessories

Finally, there are many other accessories that you may wish to purchase for your clawfoot tub and shower.  Items include tub caddies, soap dishes, mirrors, towel racks, shelves, overflow covers, drains, grab bars, and riser mounted accessories, to name a few. 

Where to Buy

Clawfoot tub fixtures and accessories can be found at your local home improvement store, hardware store, and online. Prices vary among retailers so it pays to shop around for selection and price.  A good place to start is right at Amazon.com, where you'll find a large selection of products at great prices.
