If you are considering replacing a bathtub, it is important to take accurate measurements to avoid an installation disaster when the new tub doesn’t fit into the space. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth process:
Measure the length of the tub from the outside edge to the outside edge.
Measure the width of the tub the same way.
Measure the height of the tub from the bottom of the tub to the top rim.
Check that there are no irregular shapes or contours, like armrests or contoured backs that can impact the installation.
Measure the space in your bathroom where you plan to install the tub. Consider factors like wall-to-wall dimensions, alcove spaces, or freestanding areas.
Double-check your measurements for accuracy.
