It is very difficult and expensive to take out an old tub or any other fixture and put in a new one. You must consider the extra cost of a plumber, and the possibility of having to update your plumbing to comply with current building codes. You also do not want to overlook the mess and time it takes to remove your current fixture (tub or sink) when thinking about your options to replace rather than resurface. When resurfacing your fixture, it takes less than one day, we clean up the mess and it will cost just a fraction of the cost to replace.
