    Just renew the cast iron bath. The acrylic ones now dont have a patch over them. Thats why acrylic is so cheap.

    If the bath is going to be boxed in make sure to stuff around the sides with Rockwool or fibreglass insulation. It'll stay warmer longer and it'll be quieter when filling.

    I have seen really old cast iron baths renewed back to perfect condition, and have visited years later and the bath was still perfect condition.
