bathtub

I have an old cast iron tub that fills up with water and drains very slowly when the shower is on. It has an old style cleanout outside the tub as shown in these pictures: https://imgur.com/a/1U0qm When the cleanout is in the fully closed, normal position the tub does not drain. As soon as I...

Last year we had our bathroom remodeled, the bathtub was not installed level (lots of problems with the work by the people we hired). Is there anything we can do to stop the water from pooling in the corner against the wall? It’s a corner tub and the corner is the lowest point of the top of the...

I have an old price pfister 3 handle shower in the hall bath of my home (circa mid 70's maybe?). The diverter valve does not block flow of water to the tub when the diverter is set to shower. When set to shower there is a healthy stream flowing to the tub and there is diminished flow and...

I've been working on my upstairs bathroom for about a month and I'm at a stand still, I'm tiling the walls down to the bathtub, I got most of it done but I'm stuck! I know I'm not a professional, I wish I could afford one but something had to happen in that bathroom there was mold when we moved...

Long story short, some mortar was poured down our bathtub drain in our basement, it hardened and now needs to be replaced. We were told by our home insurance company that our home is new enough (2007) that our p-trap could possibly be located in the wall vs. the foundation but that they'd have...

I'm having an issue removing my bathtub drain. As I turn with the tub drain wrench it loosens to a certain point and then it seems like the drain skips a thread or something and tightens back up. Ends up in an endless loop of spinning and won't fully unscrew. Any suggestions of how to remove...

First, I just want to take a moment to thank Terry for this wonderful and informative forum! Although I have some remodeling experience, I have been reading quite a bit over the past few days, and have learned a great deal. Thank you! Now, on to the problem at hand. Last week we discovered...

bathtub (second floor) shoe gasket was leaking. could see where it was leaking from after removing wet ceiling on first floor. believe that the gasket has been bad for a long time as i would occasionally see water spots intermittently when my sons lived home. i believe it did not show up...

I have recently had to remove the drain in my bathtub. When I went to screw it back into the iron pipe that runs under it I noticed the pipe had some play in it. I could take my finger and move the pipe some to the left and the right. Is this normal or is it a bad sign?

Hi Everyone; My husband and I have been remodeling our home in recent years. We just finished our kitchen and powder room, and we are now moving on to the second floor bathroom. We are replacing a steel tub that measures 60x30x14 mainly because it is 1970's powder blue and I want a more...

I'm updating a bathroom last updated in 1940. At first I thought I would replace the old cast iron tub since it's pepto-bismol pink, and I want to install a glass bathtub door and adjoining panel. After thinking about it I noticed the tub itself is in great shape with no issues so I thought...
