We have a builder installed Jacuzzi in the master bath. As I remember it, they put a bag of cement under it during installation. It has an ugly tile surround. We are thinking of replacing the surround with Corian. It would be preferable to remove the Jacuzzi (it fits 2 people) for installation of the corian. I haven't begun dissassembly yet and of course inadequate service access was left to inspect underneath the Jacuzzi but I am thinking that the cement is likely to make removal of the Jacuzzi just about impossible. Anyone ever try this? Obviously we are hoping not to damage the Jacuzzi tub.
My alternative plan is to take all the legs off and let the plywood surround drop to the floor. The Corian installer then should have enuf clearance from a sheet of plywood on top of the Jacuzzi to work and install seams and sand the surround. Then we raise it and reinstall the legs (which will have to be shortened by the thickness of the corian if we want the Corian under the lip).
