I'm in the process of tearing up my old bathroom on the second floor of my two family house. The home was built in like 1910 or so and has an old clawfoot tub , its about 55" and I'm sure that the faucet was changed at some point from its original. There are some spider cracks and a little bit chipping of the porcelain around the drain and in the seat where sit there is some signs of wear. on the outside there are a couple of layers of paint with which I intend to strip down , wire brush real good and prime n paint. My question is ,what is the best way to redo the porcelain? can I sand it down and reglaze it with that acrylic? that stuff you see in home depot? or is there a better way? or should I just find a pro? any info would be greatly appreciated. oh and just out of curiosity what do you think my tub is worth? what do people pay these days for a tub in this condition used?
