How Much is a Clawfoot Tub Worth?
Clawfoot tubs have been popular since they appeared on the scene early in the 19th century. The value of a clawfoot tub is determined by the condition of the tub, whether used/damaged or new, what the tub is made of, as well as its style and size.
Materials a Tub is Made From
Vintage and antique tubs were molded of cast iron, as are many clawfoot tubs today. Acrylic tubs cost less and are made in the same sizes and styles in order to meet various shoppers’ needs. Clawfoot tubs may also be found in marble, copper, wood, and solid surface materials. A wide range of pricing can be seen on a tub from one material to another.
Style and Size
In the realm of clawfoot tubs, size often matters when it comes to value patterns. A small tub of 55 inches will most definitely cost less than a tub that is 72 inches long. It appears that the formula follows with each tub material as well; a 60-inch acrylic tub will cost less than a similar-sized cast iron tub. Another value identifier is the tub’s style (slipper, rolled rim, double slipper), but it is a more subjective value, one more dependent on the material of the tub.
