Cast iron bathtub refinishing in Evansville

Why cast iron is a common refinish candidate

Many older Evansville and SW Indiana homes still have cast-iron tubs with worn enamel, stains, or chips around drains and overflow plates. The metal mass is valuable; replacing it means demolition, plumbing risk, and higher cost. Professional refinishing can restore appearance when the structure is intact.

Limits we talk about honestly

• Deep rust that has compromised the metal may need repair or replacement instead
• Soft floors or leaks under the tub are a plumbing/structural issue first
• Prep quality drives how well a new coating bonds — shortcuts show up later

Send clear photos of chips, rust halos, and the overall tub. Pair with chip & rust repair and acrylic vs porcelain (porcelain enamel on iron is common on cast tubs).
