How to Remove and Replace a Bathtub | The Home Depot with @thisoldhouse

Is it possible to install a tub on the back of a pick-up truck?

How do you get to the drain if your bath tub is on the ground floor with a slab floor?

Perfectly timed release!!

Went with the lowes version Mansfield better price point and the shower base is stainless with porcelain finish.

Bring back the hot dog vendors you bastards!

I... I think I'll demolish it myself and let a professional install the new one🥴 my clumsy ass might drop the new tub and crack it or something

Don't bother shopping at home depot you'll regret it

This video moves too quickly to be helpful.

Ok…this may be the one project I just might not be doing myself!…thanks for the reality check.

I never see a video on replacing a tub that is on a concrete foundation how do you get to the drain lines?

In an existing basement bathroom 5x8’ remove the fiberglass tub and shower by cutting it up, got that, what CC about the new tub and shower surround, will it fit through the door?

I just want to replace the drain plug, but it is severely corroded from our hard water. The metal just chips away 😅

Always have to slip in, work with a licensed... give me a break.

Better know the f*** you doing on this 🤣

Does that means wall on tub gets tear?

Y’all if you are reading this…. I accidentally cracked my bathtub…… we might need to replace it and my dad will not be happy so I’m screwed

How about an example of a more typical bathtub NOT a hundred year old cast iron relic

I would prefer not to lay mortar nor put in a 300lb cast iron tub. Does anyone know the make and model of the tub installed from this home depot video? it seems to be acrylic with a solid foundation.

in case you are in the apartment and someone else lives below you, what happens.

Eh,.....I think I'll let a plumber do this one.

So what your saying is, hire a professional right??

WHY WOULD YOU CAULK THE DRAIN

Great video but t hurts my heart to see cast iron getting replaced by acrylic!

Might sound stupid but if i hire someone to replace the bathtub, can that include potential damaged subflooring underneath?

This has taught me a very important lesson. This is NOT a DIY project and ill be buying a resurfacing kit instead 😂

Can anyone let me borrow there tub drain wrench… I seem to have misplaced mine somewhere.

Do you have to take out All the tile from the top of the tub to ceiling? Or can you just take out the 1st few rows of subway tiles? I have a partially renovated bathroom, but they kept the old cast iron(or maybe it’s porcelain) tub and it’s very shallow; I’d prefer a deeper tub. Just trying to see if the whole bathroom has to be re-renovated? The floor tiles around the tub were replaced too, so they’d probably have to come out too 😤

Okay, so this is an excuse to get new tools, but do I REALLY want to do this? Yeah, gonna get a refinishing kit.

Here’s a tip. -if it’s a one-piece shower/tub insert DO NOT cut out the walls as well. Never would have dreamt in a million years that there would be electrical lines behind the shower, but let me tell you it’s not super fun to find those with a saws all.

Yaa I’ll just hire this out. Screw this

Never use silicone on the drain like this guy, unless you want it to leak in a few years to space below, use Plummers puffy.

Didn't show the most important part: how to take the new tub inside the bathroom.

How do you get the new tub through the damn bathroom door???

Looks like I'm paying a plumber 3k for this project

What if you can’t simply cut a hole in the ceiling below the drain?

why might shims be used?

From BELOW?? OK, I have a concrete slab below... so, I can't remove the linkage blah blah blah, and I can't connect it later... This is a ground floor bathroom on a slab... got another video for that because this is leaving me about where I started!!

This does not seem to be all that great of a video.

absolutely superb production sir!excellent presentation.clear,concise ,very detailed and informative!an absolute masterclass!

had me until I had to remove the title fml

This looks like a total nightmare for any DIYer and a HUGE expense to pay a Pro without a guaranteed outcome!

You should post a video replacing one bathtub without access to underneath plumbing

Glad to see all the comments reached the same consensus. I'll just pay someone else to do this one.
