Hey there,
So i was planning on replacing the tub and sheetrock around my old tub(house was built in mid 70's) and the tub itself. When i looked into where the drain/overflow meet the actual hole in the ground, i saw that the actual pipe that is in the concrete is rusted atleast 4-6 inches down and, i was wondering how i fix that? Im about to rip out the bathtub anyway so i dont know if theres anyway to actually chip out the concrete and make a new connection. I am almost certain that i will not be able to, because i already have a good 2-3 inches of space below the slad.
I recall seeing something about using some type of plastic pipe through your old pipes that way they dont have to re-run your pipes. Any help is appreciated!
