We’re about to redo our main bathroom and I would love to save the old tub – I’m guessing it’s from the 1940s, perhaps earlier. The only comparable tub I have found is at Waterworks and costs $10k, which is really out of the stratosphere. So I’d like to have it refinished, but not reglazed – seems like reglazing makes things look better but doesn’t last more than a few years. I’d rather spend some money to have it done properly if the alternative is a standard issue tub. Has anyone done this? I found lots of threads on reglazing but haven’t found any good recs for someone who can restore the tub (I assume onsite).

Thanks!
