: I want to take old tub out and then build an all tile shower. : Problems: : best way to get old tub out : : how to make stepover barrier for shower, floor is concrete Reply: If it is a cast iron tub, a 12 lb. sledge hammer, goggles, gloves and a heavy drop cloth helps remove them. The drain will need to be increased to 2" and relocated, along with the vent line, shower faucet and water lines. A step can built with 2"X4"'s and a water proof "pan", (shower liner) needs to be manufactured onsite. Good Luck. e-plumber
