these products last a life time , only human error on application of the primer and paint can maybe chip after 50 years, but i prefer this over any bathtub they make these days.
I love large deep cast iron tubs, particularly the older ones, once I get in one I sleep like a baby. Newer tubs that are smaller thinner just don't do it for Me. Damn shame most people think showers are great. They're good for 2 things: quick showers to cool down in the summer & rinsing off *_after a long hot bath._*
There's quit a bit of quality in Kohler products but they stand behind them well. If you want the best get cast iron porcelain sinks tubs...Composite stuff forget it, if it was so good they'd make composite toilets.
Your options are : Acrylic tubs reinforced with fibreglass which last less then 20years. ( 10 - 15 ) Fibreglass tubs which last 10 -15 years. Steel Bathtubs are supposedly good for 15 - 25 years Cast Iron Enamel coated Bathtubs ( like in this video ) which last an easy 70years. There are of course other options like Copper, or PURE ARTISANAL BOUTIQUE “I GOT MONEY” BathTubs, etc !
I grew up all My 50+ years of owning & living in places that have cast iron tubs & sinks. I've never seen rust to where it makes a cast iron sink/bathtub fall apart. I also cook on cast iron cookware. I have found a few that people throw away completely rusted, never seen any falling apart. I soak in 30% vinegar for 2-7 days, rinse off the gross rusted _"slag" (if You will),_ scrub vigorously with coarse steel wool, then SOS/Brillo pads, rinse/repeat several times until all rust is gone. Grease it with shortening, olive, or corn oil, soybean _(no Canola oil)_ bake it for 2+ hours 500 degrees until turning black. Lots of work, of course, but it won't be if You *_like/love_* restoring cast iron, simple cleaning & maintenance after restore. Many people have other methods to restore Iron. *_Each time its cooked in oil/grease between each use & cleaning, the better it gets at being naturally non-stick._* Unlike that toxSICK garbage called Teflon/nonstick ceramic/Etc.

nothing can beat a cast iron tub!!! sooo beautiful
Kohler cast iron bathtubs are the Best. The building I live in still has the original tubs from 1949.
That tub in the last part is a DREAM!!! Beautifull!
The energy ,materials, the process is awesome
Thank you for sharing your process. Beautiful finished products! Stay safe.
I was lucky enough to get an old cast iron tub and 2 sinks someone was throwing away
I used to be a bathroom buyer and went to the jacob Delaphon cast iron bath foundry in Paris France and it was hell on earth
Kohler owns that as well

After seeing this 1,000$ seems cheap
?
Their is one catch. Metal will rust. One speck of rust will spread and the tub will eventually fall apart.
and nothing will last longer
