My in-laws have a steel tub that is rusting on the side skirt. I have offered to replace the tub with a new one. Took some measurements tonight and discovered that the distance between the two walls at the front and rear of the tub measures 58 3/4" plus or minus 1/4". This is from surface of the plaster on one wall to the surface of the plaster on the other wall, measured outside the immediate tub area.
Three questions:
1) Can I pick any standard tub at HD to fit into this space or does this sound like a non-standard tub length to you?
2) They asked me for my opinion on an acrylic tub vs. Steel tub to prevent rusting in the future. I like the idea of acrylic, but really don't know which to recommend. Anybody have an opinion on this. Pros & cons?
3) They would prefer a "deep" tub over a "shallow" one. Does this complicate things or reduce our options? Anything else I should be aware of before I buy?
If you have an opinion on any of the above, I would really like to hear from you.
