Hey folks! This is Kolten from Next Gen Remodels.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"What Are the First Steps When Replacing an Old Shower Tub?"

 "What Are the First Steps When Replacing an Old Shower Tub?"

Answer from Kolten

"We're gonna go in there and we're gonna get our measurements and our dimensions and figure out, okay, what is the size that we can actually replace this with? After we've determined the sizing and everything like that, we will come in, control all the dust by masking anything off that's not getting torn out, and a pathway from the front door to the bathroom.

Then we will cut out your old tub, shower, whatever it is, and remove everything. After that is done, our plumber comes in and redoes all the plumbing that is in there. That way we ensure nothing that we have touched is going to leak."

Short Summary

When inquired about the initial steps involved in replacing an old tub or shower unit. Kolten Redfield outlined the process, starting with taking measurements to determine replacement size, controlling dust by masking off areas, removing the old unit, and then having a plumber redo the plumbing to prevent future leaks.
