It can be a standard thing, no whirlpools... I just need a tub! Thanks   Daniel M.

Ask for Jenine (she is great). - Daniel   Bob K Supporter Username: Bobk Post Number: 11157 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Saturday, April 8, 2006 - 6:43 pm:        You can wheel them out on dolly from Home Depot and Lowes.   Bailey Citizen Username: Baileymac Post Number: 224 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Saturday, April 8, 2006 - 7:20 pm:        standard tubs aren't all that standard. standard length is 60 inches, width is 30. but, 32 inch width is common, and longer than 60 inches is pretty common. Do you need cast iron? Maybe fiberglas-like material (americast, for example)? Porcelain over steel? Heights (tub depth) also vary. I'd recommend the 32 x 60 cast iron at least if you have the room. And of course, you need to know right or left hand drain location. and you thought this was easy!   jersey Boy Citizen Username: Jersey_boy Post Number: 437 Registered: 1-2006 Posted on Saturday, April 8, 2006 - 8:44 pm:        We just re-did a bathroom and the fastest and cheapest thing was to "refurbish" the old cast iron tub. A new cast iron is a couple of grand and a replacement is cheaper, but suckier. The guys cleaned up the bottom and painted it with some rustoleum, and voila! it looks like it's always been there. Because it has! J.B.   melicious Citizen Username: Melicious Post Number: 394 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 12:59 pm:        Thank you to Mr. Jacobs!!! Central Bath and Kitchen was AMAZING. I have a 60 x 32 x 17 (aaah) white tub coming by the end of the week. Why can't everything be this easy? Lowe's and HD wanted 15 days - go figure...   george H Citizen Username: Georgieboy Post Number: 158 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 2:26 pm:        JB,a new standard cast iron tub is about 675$plus another 75$ for your tub waste.Of course this does not include removal/disposal of old one and installation of new one.
