Three years ago I bought a re-glazed clawfoot tub when I re-built my bathroom. It looked fabulous. For about 6 months... Little dings appeared at first and now in the last 6 months they are sprouting like weeds. They are all on the bottom and up the first 6" up.
We don't bang anything around in there - the tub is only used by adults, so no toys or metal bashing going on.
The only thing I can imagine is that perhaps my hot water tank is set too hot (which I know it is, and I do use the telephone shower attachment a lot for rinsing the tub) and one of the bathers is very heavy.
So I have three questions:
1: can the tub be reglazed in place?
2: what should I ensure in terms of material/expertise when looking for a repari contractor?
3: is this a built in hazard of the re-coating process and means I should expect having to refinish this thing every 3 or 4 years?
Thank you for any suggestions!
