Picking up a bathtub, homeowners are truly puzzled because of diverse array of materials. Porcelain and acryl, ceramic and fiberglass models are offered in superstores but cast-iron tubs are still considered as timeless classic.
Such material has both pros and cons therefore take into account all important criteria before purchasing a tub model.
Among the main advantages, the following pros should be pointed out:
• Extended serving term. Cast-iron models have been serving for 15-20 years or even more. In case of appropriate care, their appearance will be elegant through years. What’s more: our company provides appropriate cast iron bath restoration to enlarge tub’s serving term even more.
• Low heat conducting properties. Cast-iron bathtubs conserve heat for longer time in comparison with analogues.
• Simple care. Cast-iron models demand no special care and are even resistant to most agents.
• Low prices. Those tubs are cheaper than most analogues.
Speaking about their disadvantages, we should point out difficulties of installation because of heavy weight. Moreover, cast-iron tubs are rather limited from the viewpoint of design.
Cast-iron tubs have earned their place at the top of many wish lists, and it is easy to see why. They hold heat beautifully, they carry a substantial, high-end feel underfoot, they dampen sound so your soak stays peaceful, and they simply outlast almost everything else in the bathroom. That durability is the whole point — a well-made cast-iron tub can serve a home for generations, which makes it worth protecting rather than replacing.
The one weak spot of these classics is the porcelain enamel on top. Over decades it dulls, stains and chips, and that is precisely where our work comes in. Through bathtub reglazing and porcelain reglazing we bring that heirloom surface back to a glossy, showroom finish without disturbing the iron shell beneath. It is a fraction of the cost and mess of hauling out a fixture that can weigh several hundred pounds.
We pair that tub work with the surfaces around it, so tile reglazing and even sink refinishing can be handled in the same visit for a coordinated, refreshed washroom. If you own one of these timeless tubs, you already have the hardest part — the bones. Let us handle the finish, and your cast-iron classic will look every bit as current as the latest trends.
