How to resurface and seal a leaky tub?

The grout on the bathroom floor asorbs a little moisture when someone takes a bath or tub is partially filled with water I wanted to know if there is a way to reseal the entire tub to stop this problem. It doesn't leave the floor wet but you can just tell there is moisture on the grout at the end of the tub. The cast iron tub is probably from the 70's.

    If the water is coming from under the tub, you have a real problem. May need to remove tub. Floor will be rotting out underneath.

    I agree with Kelli. This sounds like a serious issue that needs to be addressed asap. The leak could be coming from the plumbing and not from the tub itself, but you will need to do additional investigating to find out.

    I'm going to replace the tub drain but this tub has a lot of scratches I am almost sure it's the tub but I will do the small stuff and see. Thank you very much for your answer.
