Remodeling Your Bathroom – Andy Bell of Handyman Matters shows us how easy it is to replace a bathtub. First there will need to be some wall or tile taken out above the tub to make sure it can get out. It probably needs to go about 3 tiles up. Older tubs can be heavy, make sure there are enough people to assist the removal. Once it’s removed bring the new tub in and line it up with the pluming and make sure it’s level.
