Thank you for posting this instructional video. After watching it, I am encouraged to remove my bathroom tub myself. The plumber quoted me between $300-600 to do this job. You are as good a teacher as a plumber with your videos. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I look forward to seeing a step by step instructional video like this one on how to install a tub soon.
Omg so Happy I found this channel! Love! Love! Step by step while explaining!!!! Instead of just talking! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
THANK YOU for ACTUALLY doing the work and showing how it is done..every other video ive watched just has a guy explaining stuff and then the job is complete
Love this! You explain everything so well. The “crime scene” was awesome! Lol
I feel so much better after seeing your video. Demolition starts in August. Removing old tub and surround and installing another. Thanks again.
Many thanks for the video. I just demo'd a fiberglass tub in my house and your video was pretty much the only reason why I did it flawlessly in an hour vs. recklessly in 4 hours. VERY helpful. Thanks again! Next video will be how to put new stuff in!
I wish all you tube videos were this good, and this efficient.
Wow! So you don't care about fiber glass getting into your lungs !!?
Excellent instructions, thank you. Very clear, very well done. Not looking forward to this mess but grateful for what I now know going in.
Now this is what you call a Professional.
He knows his craft.
You have the most informative videos for remodelling/tiling bathrooms! If you're ever in Ca, LA area, there are plenty of high-end jobs for you.
Awesome. I like the way you saved the Sheetrock around the tub. Most people make the owner spend more money buying supplies for something that could have been saved, Thank you.
best video ever. we successfully removed fiberglass shower/tub! Great step by step instructions.
Thanks for sharing TileMasterGa! I was just starting to cut out my old fiberglass surround and I thought it best to check out UA-cam first. My first thought was why are you cutting out a perfectly good shower surround , until I realized you are a tile guy, DUH ! What a great teacher UA-cam is turning out to be , thanks to you and others like you that are willing to take the time to video and post !
Thanks for such a detailed video series. We have a 25 year old fiberglass tub and surround that needs replacing and we don't want to be ripped off because we don't know the first thing about it. lol
Omg, the end of the video was awesome.
Great video! Very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you so much for posting it. Oh, and the rodent skeleton at the end was incredibly preserved. Gotta love the surprises in the walls.
Awesome video. You help me big time remodeling my bathroom. Thank you.
Excellent video! The little rat at the end was an added bonus, better than some movies i've seen!
Excellent instruction. I am going to remove my tub, which is identical to the one you removed. This was the best instructional video I've seen on the matter.
Thanks for putting up these instructional videos. They are definitely helping my project runner that much smoother and more efficiently which, in turn, keeps the wife happy!
Thank You!!! This is the best half hour I've ever spent in front of my computer. Thank You, Thank You...
You are adorable. Very helpful video! You clearly know your stuff.
man you are a lifesaver and you saved me a ton of money ! Thanks !
Very informative, thank you. I improvised the drain tool with a 9/16 combination wrench. the open end fit snugly over the center of the drain. Then I put a screwdriver through the closed end and it gave me enough torque to break it.
this video will be a life saver for me! doing a rip out and new install for the 1st time this weekend. thanks for putting this up! going to help me big time!!
Thanks for your amazing videos. You taught me pretty much everything I need to know for my first bathroom remodel.
You sound like the character Bartok, from Anastasia. Last part was humorous, thanks I needed that considering I dropped my wedding ring down the
Best video I have seen to do this. You are a quality professional . Thanks!
Great video. Really appreciate the info. I'm buying a rental property and will be demoing on old bathroom to install a new tub soon.
Very helpful video! It was much easier to cut out the old fiberglass tub than to try lifting it out. I had the job done very quickly. Many thanks for the assist!
I read the comments so I don't need to mention pliers or PPE. I have this EXACT same tub/shower down to the fixtures and even the replacement showerhead. It could have been mine except the finish is much more shiney on that one. Anyway this showed me exactly what to do when it comes time to rip and tear. I have spent probably 50 hours watching your videos and it seems that I learn something useful to me even when watching shower installs. There are a few details I am still unclear on, but I'll keep looking until I have all my ducks a row and my bucks are ready to go. I agree that you are a great teacher since you often mention the little details that us DIYers need to get the job done that others don't think to mention. Of course there is the video where you say, "now I'm opening the bucket..."
I am compiling a list of questions so if I ever run into you here in Oregon, I'll buy you some Wodka and pick your brain for hours.
Thank you for your time putting together these videos. When it comes time, I know where to get the fiberglass mesh joint tape.
Great video. Great quality, explanation, everything. I learned a lot from this video and can now perform my shower removal with confidence. - Kansas City, MO
Dude, your superman. If I cut fiberglass like that, I would be an itchy mess. Awesome video, please use a respirator and glasses.
I can tell you're high quality contractor, I wish you were here in NC, I'd hire you. Great educational video!
This video was perfect! My son and I removed a similar shower yesterday based on this information. It felt like a huge job but I knew what to do thanks to your video. Next I'm going to watch how to install a tub.
very nice video!!! This is very helpful, We are doing this ourselves. This bathroom looks just like ours.
Thanks so much for this great video! Gives me the confidence to go ahead and get mine taken out!
Very helpful video, I have never taken a fiberglass shower tub insert out before and I have a job this coming Monday 10-27-14 and by watching your video helps a lot, although I for one will take the time to wear eye protection because it only takes a second and it's not like I can go to EBay and order another pair of eyes. Yet lol
Over all Great job...
This is the exact same bathroom I have, and I am planning to do this same thing. The next video where you show how to install the tub is also great, but I couldn't post there for some reason. This project is identical to mine, including the tile job so your videos are a great help.
starting a self remodel of our bathrooms this coming weekend....your videos are great
thank you for this video. We are removing the fixtures from two bathrooms in a forty year old barn - both fiberglass - one a shower stall, the other a tub. This is exactly what I needed to prepare me. Fortunately we have already removed all of the drywall and are down to the studs - just needed to know how to work around the plumbing and what tools to use to cut up the fiberglass. And, yes, I will be wearing safety glasses and a respirator. We will likely find rodent or reptile remains, too. I look forward to watching more of your videos as I decide how to remodel the spaces.
Okno otwórz ;) I wszystko jasne. My congratulations.
Funny thing - Potrzebny pomocnik?
Relly good work,
Respect.
Man, cutting that tub in half looked like so much fun!
I need this video for my own bathroom remodel. VERY instructive so thanks. I did worry that you didn't have eye and ear protection. Great job though and it encourages me to proceed with my remodel.
Really good video. I'm about to do this and didn't know where to begin. Thanks
Excellent DIY video! Thanks for thoroughly explaining how to remove a fiberglass bathtub and what to expect to find hidden behind the walls! I can't wait to get started on renovating my own bathroom and systematically getting rid of its ugly fiberglass-built-in bathtub!
Outstanding video. I've been considering doing my own tub to save some cash. You make it look too easy but you have me considering the options. Thanks for the education !!
Beautiful, detailed explanation-you are, indeed, masterful. 👏🏼
Thank you so much for your thorough videos!! You are saving us a lot of stress!
thank you. that was awesome video. its hard to get good videos when you can splain every detail man thank you.
Czesc kolega ! Dzieki za video - swietnie pokazane co i jak zrobic. Na przyszlosc prosze : duzo wiecej detali :) Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Chicagolandu !
Great video, very informative. Many professionals do not take the time to educate others on how things are done and I commend you for taking the time and explaining. I am starting a similar project and this is exceptional information. Thanks!
Very helpful video..made it easier for me to be able to do it myself and save some money

The
thank you for the time to film this, excellent job.
Thank you. This was very well done. I have never done anything like this but I don't feel as afraid. Thank you for your help.
Thanks for the demo! I'm thinking of a DIY model (or at least for the tear out portion) to replace a similar one piece tub and surround, and I was curious as to the process of removal.
Thanks again!
gracias por el video bro muy informativo y no le hagas caso a los que todavia te critican por no usar mucha seguridad. segurito que esas personas no saben ni como cortar un pedazo de hilo.
Excellent instruction detail & camera work. I'm sure you've been a busy man. I do recommend gloves, eye & ear protection and gloves however. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Great video! Easy for me to understand and follow around. I am looking forward to doing my next project which is to replace my own bathtub unit. I have the same one in this video so I am thrilled I found a great video. Thanks for your help
Wonderful video. Easy to understand instructions. Thank you.
Awesome video! Thanks very much... I especially like the part at the end.
Excellent video! Very clear. I'll be hiring someone, but it's good to know what the job entails so I don't run into too many surprises. Thank you.
Excellent video and informative, I now know exactly how to remove my own tub and shower. I think I'm going to wear safety goggle and a mask when removing teh fiber glass tub. As a biologist I would guess the animal is a gray squirrel, based on the size and the color of the fur.
The end of the video is the best! So funny :)
Thanks a ton. Great video. Very concise.
I like the ending 5 minutes of this instructional.

Your video will be very helpful, you are good, keep doing these.
Awesome work my friend and thank you for experience 👍
Excellent video, Thanks for taking time to film it.
Excellent video, safety glasses and gloves would be nice to see on you .
I will be starting remodeling two bathrooms. One is identical to this,including the tub, except mine is right hand drain. Thank you for making this video. I was curious as to how the old tub is attached,before I start. good video.
No ear pugs, no safety glasses, no dust mask...a real pro
"We got a crime scene over here!!"😂🤣 A startling discovery!!! Awesome video!! Well done!🐾
Enjoyed this video very much.
Great video. Very informative.
Great video sir. I am going to be doing the same thing as your doing. I am putting in a tub/shower but they will be not a 1 piece. Not sure how I am going to get the new tub in as the room seems about the same size as the one your working in. Your video has helped me so far when I am to that point of tearing out.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Wish you'd shown the installation of the new tub and tiles as well...
thank you for such an informative instructional video. you are awesome😊
Thanks for the helpful video!
Awesome video man !!! Thank you for doing this!!
Great Video. learned a lot.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you Conrad
Nice video! You're too funny! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the valuable information.
Thanks for your video
Great video! I wish you were close enough to do mine! Another time on the crime scene investigation! :)
Excellent video, you are the man. I do agree with some of the other posts, you need to use PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) for your own good and your future health. We don't want to see you with COPD in 20 years. You're too good a guy to be taking chances with your health.
and safety glasses

amazing video. awesome tips very patient in sharing your knowledge. thank you very much and btw wear some PPE buddy
Just bought a house. This job is too big for me, but will look for a contractor. This was a good lesson. Thanks. Why not add link to the finished bathroom on your site? I looked for it.
Awesome. You are the Man. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful video! This is exactly the information I was looking for. This is my first DIY in the bathroom so looking around for information on how to do it. I will be checking out your other videos as I am going to be tiling the walls, a first also.
LOL @ crime scene. Nice video, this will help me out. Done some 'house' work before, but never a tub removal. Hopefully mine seems as easy as you made it look!
This is a really good video
Thank you for a great video. Which video in your collection follows this one? I'd like to see how you adjusted the pipes.
Thanks for posting. Very informative.
Thank you so much for the valuable information..
Great video! Looks like you are perfectionist. I like that!
Don't give me wrong but being kind of worry about you future projects I'll highly recommend you to use at list anti dust mask, eye glasses protection and also gloves.
Thanks a lot again ! You really did a great job ! Keep it up !
I first cut around the exterior of the enclosure as close to the walls as possible. When the tub enclosure was removed, in about 10 pieces, I then pried the nailing flange away from the studs just a bit and with a metal blade in my sawsall cut the nails or screws holding the flange on the studs. Then cut the flange at the corners and removed it very little damage to existing wall board.
Don't forget about eye protection. Those beautiful eyes need to be kept safe.
nobody in construction wears that stuff really!
