How to Remove a Bathtub

Exelente information gracias por compartir,

Does the water have to be turned off to remove the tub

@ToolRev - If the bathtub is on the 2nd floor, is it absolutely necessary to create access to the pipes from the 1st floor by creating and covering up a hole in the ceiling of the room underneath?

What do you reccomend to put down under the tub so it doesn't happen again?

board houses? cant relate

Excellent video

This was SO helpful! Thank you!

My house was built in 1959 I wanted to replace a tub any tips?

Good stuff! Right to the point with no added BS.

Well done

After watching this feeling good I can do this by myself

Thank you for showing how to remove the tub without busting, cutting in pieces; cause I’m reusing mind. You did an excellent job!!!

That loose faucet barely holding was quite funny for some reason

When you broke off the tile it looked like there was no drywall or anything behind? Do you have a video about building a new surround on a new tub ?

What did u mean by coving it because of games cover how and how long can it stay uncovered b4 it toxic

I want to get rid of my tub cus we don’t use it

I thought about the noise when you said you can break it down with a hammer 😮

You taught me literally nothing from the past few videos I watched.

How do you close off the drain to prevent sewage gas leaks or whatever it was you mentioned at the end of the video?

Toolrev, thank you! I am very grateful i found this video. You saved me bro. Thanks to you i can finally proceed with my bathroom renovation without paying anyone money for this job.

Well I need to watch take a tub out for dummies. You didn’t mention where or if you had to shut the water off first? I need step by step lol

I'm assuming you turned off the water first. You'd be surprised how many folks would forget this obvious step.

At the very end of your great video, you mentioned something about making sure that sewer gas does not enter the home but I didnt understand what i was supposed to do to avoid that

But how do you replace the tiles ?

Any video on the replacement tub or shower base?

Do tubs have a label or sticker somewhere on it with the exact size it is!
So when you buy another it's a clean swap?

Hi how can I change i have a 40 inch with and i want to put a 36

Thank you for the video. Is the drain connected to the tub? When you lifted it out, would you have destroyed the piping from below up? Or does it simply just sit on top of it the way a toilet sits on top of the flange?

Very well explained to us novice/DIY's

great viedeo, thanks!

Loved “that’ll work too”

I bet if i make my wife help me with this project, she would not want to remodel the house that often. Thanks it helps a lot except the water spout was very hard to take out for me.😅

🔥🔥🔥🔥 straight to the point

Cast iron tub. Does it bust up fairly easy? Does it take a full size sledge hammer?

Thank you

Lapping up the knowledge

Very nice. You're the guy, efficient and direct to the point.

How does the sewer smells not come up though that pipe? What's preventing it?

I had to remove a cast iron tub and I broke it up into medium-sized pieces. If you’re going to do it that way and you’re going to break it up in the bathroom make sure you have maximum strength ear protection. Plugs and muffs. It’s got to be louder than gunfire.

Perfect

Thank you so much for this and clear video shooting! I can finally get this done :)

This video helped..thank you

nice

This is a new run..
What about one from 1935?

Awesome video. Looks easy. Thanks! 😊

No wonder why my landlord refuses to replace the old tup. You practically have to remodel the whole area

Just what I needed. Thanks.

Thank you. Great explanation.

Ok so now what do we do? How do we fix the wall?

FYI, there is no need to turn off the main water supply. The main water is supplied to the tub/shower valve, aka the diverter valve, before being diverted down to the tub spout or up to the shower head. So, unless you're replacing the diverter valve itself, there is no need to shut off the main water supply. Hope this helps. See ya!
