I could use some advice. We decided it is high time to make some improvements to our main bath, which is pretty small at only 4' x 9'. Our budget is very limited, roughly $1500 to $2000. Part of the project will be tiling the floor. The big part of the project is to replace the tub. I can do the demo but I'm willing to pay for someone to install the new one and tile the surround. My questions are concerning the size of the tub. I'm pretty sure it is a standard size 30" x 60". Is there such a thing as a 28.5" wide tub? That is the measurement I get pulling a tape from the wall but I'm thinking the other 1.5" is inside the wall. The problem is that the depth of the cutout is not a full 30". See how the existing tub tapers to a more narrow measurement to fit? All of the tubs I have priced priced at the big box stores will stick out from the edge of the existing wall.
I will take a sledgehammer to the cast iron tub to remove it. But I'm just unsure of the tub dimensions.
