We recently remodeled our bathroom and installed the Kohler Devonshire Acrylic Tub. I originally thought I wanted a cast iron tub but it was cost prohibitive when looking at deeper depths. I am more than pleased with the look and finish on our tub. Kohler recommends cleaning with only liquid dish soap such as Dawn which is what I have been using and it looks great. If your daughters are bathers as my daughter and I am it is well worth the extra dollars spent for a deeper tub and increase in water usage....I think it was a small price to pay for many years of great bubble baths....The only inconvenience with the deeper depth is cleaning the tub and stretching over the deeper sides. Sometimes I actually get in the tub to clean it, but still loving it.

Have you tried attaching the feet? That will tell you. We can't tell without seeing the inside of the fee. You can also get the tub refinished by someone like this: www.americantubrefinishing.com Read their advice on how to choose a refinisher and find someone in your area.

I think b/c that is where water sits, it's why it is starting to lift there. In hindsight, I think if we had been drying it, it wouldn't be lifting. They did it right in our house. I think they did it that way b/c our tub was on the 3rd floor of our turn of the century home and the thought of getting it down was ridiculous. Also, we'd had a house fire and everything was ripped out down to the studs, so it wasn't like spraying it inside would have damaged anything. I'm not sure if it is usually how they do it.

It is dates on the bottom 3 30 39 and it has a P inside of a cirle.
