I have an old clawfoot myself. I’m looking for covers for the existing tap holes. They are inside the tub wall mount. Do you know where I could find them?
I’d like to switch over to a freestanding faucet.

They are beautiful. We have one and found that like 72% of cast iron tubs, it tested positive for lead! Be sure to check your porcelain finish also.

I recently restored an old claw foot tub using the rustoleum kit as well. So far it scratches really easy and I will have to repaint the inside. On the outside I used a strong primer and an automotive spray paint which worked great and is holding up beautifully.

When I was a little girl (about 5 years old) we had a claw foot tub just like this one (it had eagle feet) and the outside was painted dark forest green. We had a dog (a rottweiller) and everytime I would take my bath, she would put her hand on the side of the bath and lick my foot if I stuck it out. It's one of my favorite memory from my childhood (along with the fact that the same dog used to jump in the bath when it was empty to eat the soap bars…..for some reason, she really loved them).
