Thanks for a decent video on tub removal over a concrete slab. This works good for all of us without a basement.

Our bathrub was glued on to the cement board, took me a while to remove the whole thing

Awesome video! Good thing it's not a cast iron tub... Great prevention!!

I have to ask, what is the width of your shower stall after you finished it? Mine will be around 32 inches. This too is my guest bath. I ask because I noticed that your bathroom and mine are twins and I believe that whomever it was that is your original builder was likely mine. The only difference between yours and mine is your celling height is lower than mine, I have 10 foot ceilings throughout. Other than that they're completely identical in layout and fixtures.

Was this a steel tub in the video? It looked pretty easy to stand up. Not too heavy?

I find that it's FAR easier & quicker to simply cut this style of tub in half with a Sawzall and remove in pieces through a doorway instead of wrestling it around or dragging it downstairs banging into the walls doing unnecessary damage. Cut into the drain flange and loosen that piece as speak from experience as I have removed nearly two hundred old tubs in my Bathroom Remodel

Thats not an old bath tub or you would have had to have help.

No mention that most people don’t even have a tub with a drain like that? strange
