My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

cast iron tub - old versus new

5 years ago

Are the new cast iron tubs as good as old ones? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the expense to replace my 1979 tub that is still in good condition (no chips, no rust spots) with a new ones. To me, the new ones don't look much different, so I'm not sure it's worth the expense. Any experience out there? TIA! M
