I just had this brand new Kohler Memiors cast iron tub, white color, installed about a month ago. Before installation, my plumber and I had inspected the tub very closely and did not see any problem. But now I noticed many rust spots on the base of the tub, about 10 to 15 needle size rust spots scattered around the base. The side wall of the tub seems to be fine since they are smooth finish, where as the base finish are sanded with design to protect you from slipping. You will not notice the tiny rust spot unless you inspect the tub very closely.
I had tried to scrape them with my fingernail but they would not come off. It looks like the rust is coming out from the cast iron and showing up on the surface of the porcelain enamel. I am suspecting poor quality finish by Kohler?
I am just curious to know if this problem is typical for cast iron tub?
Will the rust gets worst and becomes more obvious?
Is there a way to fix the problem without replacing the tub?
Thanks for any advice.
