The tub is 3" thick solid porcelain, made in Stourbridge, England somewhat more than 100 years ago. It only holds 2 adults, but that's grand enough for me.
The ceiling paint is a disaster, but I'm not motivated to tear down plaster and lath just because it was calcimined long ago and paint doesn't stick well. Perhaps I should try a light sanding with a drywall pad and then another coat of paint.
Calcimined ceilings are a pain to deal with, but there are primers that claim to work specifically with calcimine. Gardz has a good reputation for priming difficult surfaces (I've never used it, but I introduced Gardz to the person who painted our upstairs bathroom and she loves it).
