I'm currently in the process of remodeling my bathroom. I am trying to accumulate the necessary information to do everything as well as my budget allows. I currently have an enameled steel tub in it. I'm planning on possibly re-tiling around the old tub. If, when I remove the old tile, the tub is in good shape; should I keep it? I don't know what the life span for these type of tubs is. I don't want to have to replace it for at least another 15 years. The exterior of the tub is in good shape. I am not sure whether or not when I remove the tile I will find any problems or not.
