I am installing an old cast iron clawfoot tub. I repainted the exterior with an enamle paint, so that is take care of. I am just curious about what everyone would recommend for the porcelain inside the tub. It has some chips, but I have some patch stuff that is supposed to fix those and they aren't really very major. The worst part is there are rust stains on the porcelain. Originally, I had thought I would wait to refinish the inside until my very young kids are a bit older, but I am now starting to wonder if I should go ahead and do it now before I install it.
What would you recommend, do-it-yourself kits or hire a professional? If a professional, what is a reasonable charge? My sister paid $300-400 for a newer cast iron tub to be refinished, but my brother said he thought it could be done for $100-200.
