I apologize for the pure ignorance contained within this post but I am looking for information and I have no idea what to search for to find it.
I am buying a house. It was built in 1997. The downstairs full bathroom's tub was installed incorrectly (no subfloor) and as a result, is now cracked. The sellers are willing to fix the crack. They wanted to just patch the crack but my realtor was able to negotiate a more permanent fix, but they won't reinstall the tub and put a new subfloor in. The guy who came out to look at the tub said that he would be drilling holes in the existing tub, injecting something underneath the tub that would create a subfloor, and put some sort of fitment over the exiting tub and seal it off. He said he's had great success with this route. I am trying to do research on the longevity/reliability of this method. This info is coming through my realtor so I wasn't able to talk to him and find out exactly what this method is called and if its a widely accepted practice of repairing a subfloor.
Any help you all could give would be greatly appreciated!
