Hi all,
I have a few basic questions. Just doing my research first.
We cannot afford to replace the tub yet (recovering from 1st floor renovations) with a nice Whirlpool style unit, so the old fiberglass job will have to stay for now. I do want to tear out and replace the tile. We live in a condo. Anything I install will have to be the same standard size type of unit, nothing custom is possible.
1 - Will it be possible to remove old tub and install new, same size/dimensions, tub by just removing the first or second row of tiles directly above the tub surround? This way I could have new tile and fixtures now.
2 - If possible, how much room (in inches) would be needed above the tub? I need to know this so I can buy extra tiles as replacements in the future.
Thanks so much for any advice.
