My wife and I have decided to remodel the bathroom by putting in new flooring and vanity. What we have not decided on is if we should replace the bathtub and existing tile with a fiberglass enclosure.
I'd like a few thougths on things to consider in doing so ie pro/con etc.
The main reason we want to replace it is the existing tile grout is unsightly, stained with mildew etc.
I'd like to know how difficult it would be to replace the grout / caulking vs replacing the tub/tile. Also how durable would a grout/Caulking R&R be and would it eliminate the mildew problem or just hide it for a while and it would be back?
Also, what are the steps to remove and replace the tub? I have done a toilet, but never a bathtub before.
all input greatly appreciated.
