Clawfoot and pedestal tubs are architectural treasures worth preserving. Heritage Coatings' specialized refinishing process restores these classic fixtures to their original beauty without altering their shape, style, or vintage character.
Replacing a clawfoot tub is rarely practical. Vintage cast iron tubs are extremely heavy, difficult to remove, and nearly impossible to match with modern reproductions. A quality reproduction clawfoot tub can cost $2,000–$5,000 or more — before installation. Refinishing your existing tub preserves its original character and craftsmanship at a fraction of the cost.
We do both. Heritage Coatings offers refinishing and full replacement services. Not sure which is right for your project? Contact us for a free consultation — we'll recommend the best option for your situation.

Interior and exterior refinishing is available in any color — from classic white to period-appropriate colors to modern designer finishes. Decorative options including faux copper, bronze, and metallic exterior finishes are available for clawfoot tubs.
Our process is tailored to the unique requirements of vintage fixtures. We take extra care with surface preparation on older surfaces that may have multiple layers of previous paint or coating. Our bonding agents and coating systems are specifically formulated for the contours and materials found in antique tubs.
