Okay, I need some help. My bathtub is cracking. Cheapo 60" tub. I tried searching and found nothing that answers my question.
Here's the question. Since the tub is longer corner to corner than 60", and my entire bathroom is 60" wide, can the tub be dropped right back in between the studs? Without breaking the wall. I'd hate to spend 800 bucks then have to call a plumber to get my stuck bathtub in, or back out. All I can find is DIY sites that say it drops right in. Am I over thinking this? Is the 3-3/4" stud depth enough room to allow the tub to fit?
TIA
