How Long Will My Cast Iron Bathtub Last?
While the lifespan of all bathtubs can vary, cast iron models are renowned for their exceptional durability, longevity and superior heat retention compared to other types of bathtub. With proper care, your cast iron bathtub will last for decades, often 70 years or more. They are notorious for requiring less maintenance than an acrylic bathtub, which makes cast iron the perfect choice for a bustling bathroom. While you can expect to pay more for cast iron than other, less durable, materials, this is an investment that will last for your entire life and provide endless moments of relaxation, joy and that wow-factor every time you step into your bathroom. Afterall, we did name an entire room after them, so why not invest in such an important space?
Proper Maintenance
Maintaining your cast iron bath is arguably far less strenuous than maintaining an acrylic alternative. With that said, it does involve regular cleaning and proper care to preserve its appearance and functionality. We always recommend a rinse after every use, to avoid any buildup. A cast iron bathtub only requires the use of a soft cloth to wipe away any residue in order to avoid any abrasions and keep your tub sparkling! No need to splurge on a plethora of harsh chemicals, as these will adversely impact your bathtub, damaging the enamel and therefore reducing its lifespan. For any stubborn stains, a combination of baking soda and vinegar will bring your tub back to life and ensure it appears brand new for many years to come.
