Classic clawfoot and slipper tubs set on a reinforced floor with period-style faucets and carefully matched supply lines.
Few fixtures say charm like a clawfoot tub. Whether you have a salvaged antique or a new reproduction, installing one takes more than setting it in the corner. Cast iron tubs are very heavy and may need floor reinforcement. Faucets and supply lines are exposed, so they need to look good and be positioned correctly. The drain connection under a clawfoot tub has to be accessible and watertight. In Nashville, where many homes have historic character, clawfoots fit beautifully when installed carefully, and a good installer protects both the tub and the floor.
We confirm the tub size, weight and drain position and check the floor structure. If needed, we reinforce framing and protect flooring. We plan supply lines, whether wall-mounted or floor-mounted, and select a faucet and shower riser if you want a shower option, with a ring and curtain. The tub is set level on its feet with the correct drain connection, and plumbing is tested. If your antique tub needs refinishing, we can coordinate reglazing and restoration before installation.
Cast iron tubs can weigh hundreds of pounds, and we check and reinforce framing so floors stay sound.
