A fiberglass drop in Jacuzzi brand tub was recently set into a mortar base, while level, it is not resting on the tub frame.
Question: Should I (can I) remove the tub, break up the mortar and re-set the tub altogether? I don't know if the mortar adheres to the tub to the extent that an attempt to remove the tub would destroy it. If it doesn't destroy the tub, the extra work to get it right would be worth it to me.
If removal of the tub is not possible, I'm thinking it's possible to fill in gap around the lip of the tub with mortar to eliminate the "squeak" when you rest on the lip of the tub. Advisable or not?
Thanks in advance.
Dave
