Clawfoot Tub Faucets - Elegance and Beauty for Your Clawfoot Bathtub

In recent years vintage-style clawfoot bathtubs have become a popular design choice in many new homes and home remodels, bringing classic Victorian style to modern living. Clawfoot tub faucets provide the perfect complement, and come in a wide range of designs, styles and colors that will add elegance and beauty to your vintage bathtub.

If you have a clawfoot bathtub, then you already know how elegant and wonderful it is for taking a long hot soaking bath!

You also probably know that you need to install a faucet that is compatible with this style of tub. A standard tub faucet will not usually work with a clawfoot bath tub, which is why you will need a clawfoot tub faucet or tub filler.

Clawfoot tub faucets are often made of brass, and may be plated with nickel, or chrome. Handles are usually made of porcelain or metal. There are a number of different faucet options for clawfoot bathtubs, including these four common configurations: Tub Wall Mounted, Rim and Deck Mounted, Free Standing Faucets, and Clawfoot Shower Faucets.

Following is a brief overview of each of these faucet types.

Tub Wall Mounted Faucets

Tub wall mounted faucets are installed in the interior tub wall through pre-drilled holes. There are different styles to choose from including gooseneck, hand shower, and traditional tub wall mounted fixtures, as well as bathroom wall mounted faucets. Here are some typical prices you can expect to pay for this type of faucet:

a) Prices of gooseneck wall mount faucets vary in price from about $50 to $500 or more. Some gooseneck fixtures include a hand held shower accessory, thus driving up the price for these units.

b) Hand shower wall mount units range in price from about $80 to more than $1000.

c) Traditional tub mounts are generally more economical, ranging from $30 to $300 or a little more.

d) Bathroom wall mounted faucets range in price from about $60 to $800 or more.

Prices for these units vary widely depending on factors such as brand (manufacturer), design, features, and material used in construction.

Rim Mounted/Deck Mounted Faucets

Rim or deck mounted faucets are installed in tubs that have pre-drilled holes in the rim or deck of the bathtub. Many people prefer rim/deck mounts because the faucet rests on the rim of the tub and does not take up space inside the tub walls. You can generally choose a deck mounted faucet with or without a hand shower attachment.

Prices for deck mounted faucets begin at about $250 and go up to $800 or more.

Free Standing Faucets 

Tubs that have no holes drilled in the wall or rim require free standing faucets. Free standing faucets look nostalgically "cool", and you can place it anywhere you like in relation to your tub.

Cool factor notwithstanding, free standing faucets can get downright pricey. Prices for these types of faucets range from about $500 up to $3000 or more.

Faucet with Handheld Shower Head Attachment

A useful option that you should consider is getting a faucet with a hand-held shower head attachment. A hand-held shower head provides more versatility to your clawfoot tub faucet configuration. A hand-held shower attachment is a perfect accessory for washing and rinsing your hair and hard to reach body areas (like your back), and for cleaning your tub.
