No, we haven’t grown tired of our own (extremely luxurious to soak in) clawfoot tub. But we have friends who aren’t quite as thrilled with the style as we are. They are getting ready to remodel their bathroom, and they are saying goodbye to their clawfoot tub.

It’s a great tub – I’ve seen it in person, and it’s in good shape. It would not require refinishing unless you want it to look brand new. In which case I’d recommend Ed Shampine of Cicero, who charges about $400 – $500. He did ours and it was worth every penny – you can see the results here.

The outside is painted blue, and it has nice ball and claw feet. It’s 5′ long and 2.5′ wide, which is the same size as ours. The faucet and all fixtures are included so you won’t have to sell your youngest son for shiny chrome, unless you really want to.

They are asking $150 (o.b.o.) for the tub and all faucet/shower parts, which I think is very reasonable. I have seen similar tubs at ReHouse NY (Rochester, NY) and Historic Houseparts (Rochester, NY) priced at $300+.

The tub is currently residing in Sherrill, New York – so this one’s for the locals only :) All in all, it’s a great deal and a great tub – I am hoping it ends up in one of our readers’ bathrooms!

And if you need someone to install the tub once it’s yours, Wagner Design and Construction is very familiar with the ins and outs of clawfoots!
