Bathtub size 57" long

[kmccall]

I want to replace my bathtub but the tub i have now is 57" long and it is wall to wall. All tubs seem to be 60", What shall I do?

There are 4 ft and 4.5 ft tubs. You can build up the back wall to 54". American standard has both 48 and 54 inch available.
The Huron is a 4 ft, and the Mackenzie is a 4.5 foot.

And five foot tubs.
When you add drywal, and tile, the inside measurement with a five foot tub can be 59" or less, depending on how thick the tile is. It's very likelly that you have a 60" tub. Terry Love

i Have tile walls...it wouldn't look good

Tubs are measured from the studs (the actual whole tub, not just the part you can see), not between the finished walls. If you have 57" between the finished walls, it is almost certainly a 60" tub. No tub can be replaced and keep the tiled walls intact. At least the row next to the tub has to come off, and probably more to get the old one out of there and a new one installed. If it is truely 57" stud-to-stud, it is going to be hard to find a replacement as that is an odd size.

that makes sense, thanks.

They never made a 57" tub, so you cannot have one. You have a 60" tub with 1 1/2" of tile over each end.
