Have you ever had issues getting a bath out?
Any tips if it's being stubborn?

Tom's approach in that bathroom video where he uses a shovel and his boot is a very practical option, I've used it on both the baths and tiling if the property lends it's self to that style of approach Rocket. However, I couldn't do that in a modern house,it just couldn't take it - modern is disassembled in the reverse of it assembly.  |

If it's a fibre glass one to save you laying on that stinking floor you can smash your way into the tap connectors through the bath itself (from inside the bath).
Cast iron, break it into four pieces with a sledge hammer (the heel of the bath is the weakest point, hence a good place to start).
Pressed steel these are normally the worst to get out especially if they are chopped into the wall.
Is it open ended?

The toilet & basin will come out easily
It's the bath that'll be the bugger
I'm looking at some hardibacker 6mm board too. Grab fill & screw, scrim the screw heads & tile on top. Seems simple again

You could be in for quite a tussle then Rocky! |
