old tub premold tub/shower type. dimension 60" x 30" and apron 16"hgt.
Dimensions from wall stud to existing cermacic flooring is exactly 30" and from there to toliet is 18" (center of toliet- i heard this was the code min distance). also, from front to back stubs is 60 1/2".
I would like to find a 60" x 30" x 16" tub but very short on time now. I seen the bootz tub - mauicast that fit these dimensions but concern with the enamel steel coated tubs chipping over time.
So i am looking at the Kohler villager (only 14" hgt) cast iron tub but it has a width of 30 1/4". CAN I cut a 1/4" notch in the side wall stub to slide the tub this 1/4"??. Would this impact installing hardy board and proclein tiles wall. Also, the floor drain (center) is 15" off the stub. If I move the tub over 1/4" will i have trouble lining up the tub drain pipes?
1 last question if i go with 2" shorter tubs, do I need to lower the Tub water sprout by 2" or can leave in place
