Hi all -
This is probably an exceedingly stupid question, but my husband and I are beginning to plan a bathroom remodel and want to replace the 30+ year old, really beat up tub. When we measured the right-hand-drain tub from wall-to-wall in its alcove, it measured 57 1/2". When we looked around at tubs, they are all 5' which it seems we don't quite have, or is there some 'give' in installation due to the thickness of the tile and/or plaster? We'd hate to buy a 5' tub for a less-than-5' space but don't see any other sizes on the market.......help!
