Vintage Tub and Bath - When You Need to Relax

When you need to relax after a hard day, vintage tubs are the perfect way to take a long, hot, soaking bath.

Vintage tubs and baths are in high demand by homeowners who want Victorian style and elegance in the bathroom.

Some  people mistakenly refer to clawfoot bath tubs as "vintage"or "antique"  tubs, when they are infact modern reproductions of Victorian era tubs. Authentic vintage and antique tubs can be found, but the scarcity and demand for them raises their price to several times the cost of a new vintage reproduction tub. Fortunately, new clawfoot tubs are now widely available and affordable, thanks to modern manufacturing techniques.

Vintage reproduction tubs come in lengths ranging from about 48 inches to 72 inches. Bath tubs are made of either cast iron or acrylic materials. Cast iron is the traditional material of which vintage tubs were made, but the drawbacks of cast iron is that it is very heavy, and does not retain heat very well. Cast iron tubs are covered with porcelin on the inside and usually pained on the outside.

Acrylic tubs on the other hand, are a recent innovation that brings clawfoot tubs to a new level of desirability. They are just as durable as cast iron tubs, but are much lighter and easier to maintain. Acrylic tubs fitted as whirlpool and jetted air models are also available, which effectively turns your vintage tub into a hot tub.

Clawfoot vintage tub reproductions come in a several different configurations, including the classic, double-ended, slipper, double-slipper, pedestal and contemporary design tubs. Tubs can be fitted with no faucets holes, 3-3/8” deck mount faucet holes, 7” deck mount faucet holes, and 3-3/8” inside mount faucet holes. These different hole measurements are able to accommodate whatever type of Clawfoot bathtub faucet is selected to be installed in the tub.

All vintage tub designs are available in cast iron or acrylic. Prices vary depending on configuration, materials, manufacturer, and retailer.
