    Tub Drain won’t unscrew

    I have been working all day trying to get the old tub drain unscrewed. I tried everything I could find online, WD40, heat, I pulled the lip up and scrapped out as much of the putty as I could. The drain is old and does not have cross members but had two vertical indents so I put a pry bar in and...

    Tub drain flange stuck

    I tried using this tool I got at Homedepot to unscrew the drain but it just broke of the t in the middle. I then tried to hammer the rest off and it took the top off and left the flange.

    Mirolin tub waste strainer size?

    Recently got a Mirolin Austin (BO60R) tub. When the waste strainer is installed it’s sunk in to the mould. A great place for water to sit in my opinion. 1) is this really how this should sit? I’m comparing the new acrylic tub to the old steel tub which sits flush all around the flange. 2) I see...

    Shower/tub drain rough in wrong?

    There is plumbing roughed in for a 2nd bathroom. There is room to put a tub in, but the drain is 17" from the studs on the short wall (where the 30" tub width would go) and 15" from the studs on the long wall (where the 60" side would go). This is frustrating because aren't most tub drains about...

    3 inch bath tub drain (shoe?) crane

    I have an older house that has a crane bath tub. I chiseled out the tub shoe (tub drain) because I wanted to replace it with a nice one from lowes that you could step on to open / close the drain. Turns out, this is a crane tub and requires a 3 inch drain (tub shoe). I can't find anywhere...
