How hard is it to replace a bathtub?I am replacing the walls in the bath area, and SWMBO wants me toreplace the bathtub while I'm at it. Unfortunately, I am very shortof time and money (more money than time), but if it's possible toreplace the bathtub in say a day, then now would be the time to doit. At the same time, I'm not really ready for a new majorundertaking.I'm fairly handy. I can plumb copper pipes, but I've never tackled abathroom before.Any advise or information is greatly appreciated.John

During my bathroom renovation, I managed to get the old bath out andnew bath useable within a day. When I say useable, it was notsiliconed or held in place in any way - just the drain pipe connected.If you are short of time and money - you might be best advised toforget it. Bathroom renovations tend to be expensive and timeconsuming.

I would consider hiring a company to refinish the bathtub, if possible. I've seen great results.
