The Way I See Things

Because the previous owners installed a low end Lyon's tub incorrectly, the tub is cracking (tearing?) in several places and is getting worse over time. I'm not really ready to spend $10K on a bathroom redo. The bathroom I fell in love with is NOT going to be cheap to tile.
My bathroom is 8x10 with a standard 5 foot, 3 wall alcove tub with no windows, lights or fans in the alcove. There is a window in the room. I plan to install with a 5x32 deep soaking tub (no jets/electric). Is it possible to install a new tub now and put a plastic surround up, then come back and tile later?
Here are my inspiration pics... (As you can see, I didn't inherit the frugal gene.)
