tub

Older home (1897), ceramic-coated cast iron tub on second floor (set into a tiled cabinet/surround)leaked during and/or while draining a bath. Leak made its way through the ceiling of the kitchen below, dripping from a recessed light fixture. No leak was detected while filling the tub — someone...

This is my first post although I've used this forum quite a bit for a lot of good information. Thanks! Installing a Delta Classic 400 Acrylic Bathtub and I have a couple of questions about sealing the drain. In the instructions it says not to use plumbers putty which I've read about in the...

Hello - First, thanks to all who share their knowledge on this forum, I have read as many threads as I could find on under mount tubs and have learned so much. With all the knowledge here, I still can not figure out how to frame my under mount tub. I called the manufacturer and they were less...

What is the right way to put the tub down? It is in the basement if that makes a difference Do I put plastic sheeting then mortar then the tub on top of the mortar? I am assuming that you are not to put the tub directly on the concrete. Thanks guys :)

Hey, all. I'm trying to replace a tub spout (no set screw), but the old spout just won't come off. I've replaced one before and all it took was a wrench and some muscle to get it to twist off.. this one is giving me such a hard time. I've lubed it up with Liquid Wrench and let it sit, tried...

I recently had a sterling ensemble curve bath/shower surround installed. My plumber did not use any metal or plastic clips on the tub flange to the studs, Instead he put screws through the flange of the tub directly into the studs. There is also a gap all the way around the front edge of the tub...

Greetings all, My old generic slip-on/set-screw diverter tub spout has more or less begun failing at it's diversion. I have a 2.5"-ish unthreaded copper pipe sticking out of the wall, with a nice big gob of silicone caulk where the pipe comes out, and things look pretty dry and clean. I'm...

I'm building an addition on my home, mostly DIY. I hired a plumber to do the DWV, while I did the hot/cold water. I had a lot of issues with him along the way. I started drywall but before I covered any of the PVC, I wanted to test the system (not code required in my county). I installed plugs...

I purchased a wooden Japanese Ofuro tub, hand made. These are allowed in seemingly every state but MA. That I did not know... The tub is planned in a wet-room with separate shower with mixing valve. Room tiled with drain. Separate control for tub, drain from tub onto floor/drain. The...

We are think about replacing a 60"x30" cast iron alcove tub with a new model. We're prepared to pay a little extra for the cast iron tub but not sure how much more the installation would be. Can anyone venture a guess?

We have a 100-year-old house. The drain out of the second floor tub had been leaking in several places including where it met the cast-iron waste stack. It was too difficult to carve out the lead and oakum seal in the stack, so I cut off the galvanized pipe entering there and plugged it. I had...

First time here. Any help will be appreciated. live in a condo and I cannot access the apartment below. My current tub is oval shape and I would love to put a free standing or an undermounted tub with a more modern shape and less bulky. I was thinking that perhaps I could create a step and raise...
