Understanding the Advantages of Undrilled Cast Iron Bathing
The absence of pre-drilled faucet holes on the Regency bathtub is a deliberate design choice that offers supreme installation flexibility. Just like choosing a blank canvas for a work of art, undrilled rims allow you to position your water supply independently from the tub shell. Whether you prefer a sleek floor-mounted freestanding filler next to the rim or a wall-mounted faucet overhead, this configuration prevents you from being locked into a single plumbing layout. Combined with the dense thermal mass of cast iron, which acts like a slow-release heat accumulator for your bathwater, this tub delivers both aesthetic freedom and functional comfort.
Installation Guide
Ensure subflooring is adequately reinforced to support the 335-pound weight of the cast iron bathtub before installation.
Coordinate with a licensed plumber to align your waste, overflow, and freestanding or wall-mounted water supply lines.
Level the tub carefully using adjustable claw foot or pedestal hardware tailored to your specific taste and flooring type.
Inspect all drain and overflow connections for secure seals prior to filling the bathtub for initial use.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the interior surface with warm water after every bath to remove soap residue and oils.
Gentle Cleaning Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth paired with a mild, non-abrasive liquid dish soap.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use abrasive scouring powders, steel wool, or bleach-based cleaners that can dull the enamel finish.
Promptly Treat Stains Address minor spots immediately with a baking soda and water paste applied gently with a soft cloth.
Sponge the tub completely dry after cleaning to maintain the brilliant shine of the white enamel coating.

The absence of pre-drilled faucet holes grants homeowners and designers the creative freedom to select custom freestanding or wall-mounted hardware that complements their unique aesthetic vision.
