Tired of the Bathroom You Have?  Perhaps the Luxury of a Clawfoot Tub and Antique Fixtures is Just What You Need.

A Victorian bathroom remodel will increase the value of your home and give you an elegant and soothing place to relax.

In the bathroom many homeowners are thinking old to look new. They're searching for antiques or near-authentic reproduction tubs, for retro styles or reinventions of classic designs.

Some enthusiasts will drive miles to scour salvage yards for vintage clawfoot items. Others visit online companies like Vintage Tub & Bath for reproductions and antiques. Even major manufacturers such as Kohler, Toto and American Standard offer retro collections (known as "suites") of fittings, fixtures and accessories that seek to capture styles from the early 1900s through the 1950s.

Most new retro designs can cost about the same or just a little more than standard designs. High-end reproduction items like a polished nickel Phylrich International faucet for a clawfoot tub can start at $1,800. New old-fashioned pedestal sinks can cost $200 to $800, and pull-chain replica toilets range from $500 to $1,600. Of course, it pays to shop around. At a salvage yard, a cast-iron clawfoot tub could be priced from $300 to $900, depending on the size. Re-glazing the porcelain finish -- if that's necessary -- could double the price. An acrylic reproduction clawfoot tub can run about $1,200.

Homeowners charmed by the vintage look now have a greater selection of fixtures and fittings to choose from. "It used to be very expensive to get a clawfoot model tub, but now the prices have come down," says Alan Dick, who with his brother Norman owns Vintage Tub & Bath, an online supplier of reproduction items in Hazelton, Pa. "People who want to savor their home have more improved products and more selection."

Clawfoot tubs, pedestal sinks, pull-chain toilets. They're showing up by design. When it comes to bathrooms, the comforts of the past are back in style.  It's not that homeowners are trying to rough it in our high-tech society, but as far as bathroom appearances go, vintage is in vogue.

Whirlpool BathTub: "American Bath Factory Caspian 72'' Acrylic Clawfoot Whirlpool Tub - 7'' Rim Faucet Drillings - LEFT Hand Pump - Free Shipping DESCRIPTION: This American Bath Factory acrylic tub is the first of its kind to offer a full-blown whirlpool system inside a Victorian clawfoot tub. The tub maintains the look and integrity of a traditional cast iron tub but is lighter, warm and smooth to the touch, and will not rust or crack over time. From American Bath Factory: This tub is crafted from two �' sheets of high-quality cast acrylic, bonded together with a patented crushed stone/resin compound to give these tubs thickness, strength, and weight. They literally make two bathtubs, an inner shell and an outer shell. This process produces a bathtub with the same unmatched high-gloss shine inside and out. There are seven fully adjustable TurboFlow jets, including two uniquely placed foot massage jets and one rotating back jet. The jet trim will match the tub interior. Upgrade to a trim kit in brass, chrome or satin nickel for an additional $149 - see ordering options below. Close-up of jet The Caspian has a concealed 2 hp motor behind a sound-insulated door. You have the option of a left or right side pump (sitting in the tub with your feet at the drain end), allowing the best position for the motor to be hidden from view. Our prices include packaging, freight, and residential delivery. You will need to bring the tub off the truck and carry it into your home. Liftgate service (the driver lowers the tub from the truck to the ground) is available for an additional $200.00 over the pricing shown below.
