WOW I’m admiring every step of this video bringing back the beauty restoration is a work of art How much does it cost for a 4ft claw foot tub in very good shape ?
Wow, it’s beautiful! I do wish you had shown a BADLY damaged tub. For instance, how bad is the WORST that can be repaired? Say, like if Grandma’s tub got dropped and a huge hand-sized chunk of enamel popped off the inside surface...
I had one, several years ago from the mid/late 1800's, (it even had a wooden rim) With that one we totally sandblasted even the inside porcelain off and had to have a 12" ish crack down the middle welded. It turned our great, but took about three months to complete.
Hi, Yes, we can refinish most any color. Most go with White, Silver (metallic) looks more like Nickel. Gold or Platinum, Black (both gloss and satin), Bronze tone. The one thing we don't do is Electro Plating.

@@durafinishinc.2577You do a fantastic job, but I was wondering is there anyway to have it reglazed in porcelain as original?
Amazing job. High quality, sand blasting really makes everything easier
Nicely done Chief. Sanding outside it's a good choice, makes the difference....

I can fix it. I restored one a year ago from 1912. It was in pretty bad shape.

Did you use awl epoxy paint for the top coat? If not, what did you use?
How long does this finish last or guaranteed? Cleaning products needed?
Where do you buy primer and paint grom?
Where do you buy primer and paint from?
