All - I need some advice on how to handle a drain connection. I am starting a DIY remodel on an old roman tub (1970's) and need some advice and ideas on how best to connect a new freestanding acrylic tub to existing roman tub drain. I'm trying to minimize any demo work or digging into or messing with existing roman tub drain. My thought was to place a new freestanding tub into the existing roman tub cutout, directly on top of the tub floor without removing tile or changing shape of cutout. Tub seems to be tile on top of concrete base. And, several freestanding tubs I've found size wise will fit and allow me to do this. I would then build a sorta tub surround like platform (4" to 6" higher) on top of existing tub platform, tile it to give it a drop-in tub like look.
My question is what's easy way to connect new tub drain to the existing roman tub drain with out having to cut into tile or drain? Is there an easy way to do this with a kit, adapter, or something similar? Here's some pics of existing roman tub space. Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated!
