Trimming face of cast iron tub
Hello,
I have a Villager cast iron tub going in. My old cast tub had tile up to it, so the "lip" was covered. This tub technically doesn't have a lip but the enamel isn't even either. Anyway, I have a vinyl floor going in with the new tub and am very concerned about having a cheap line of caulk where the tub meets the floor. Is there an elegant solution to this?
Thank you

Thats what I was thinking and I have never done this before. Unfortunately I got the tub installed on top of the underlayment
Thank you
Maybe you could install some simple white tile over the face of the tub and have it look somewhat like a baseboard detail?Originally Posted by Why did I try this?
