How to Install a Drop-in Tub in an Alcove

Another product that can be used to remove porcelain sink stains from hard water is bleach. Bleach is only suitable for white-colored ink. Bleach is an acidic substance that eliminates the color of the sink when some colorful sink is used.

Much the same as above, you have to make sure that the subfloor is level.  Who wants a tilted tub, right?  You can use a level to do this.

Are you building your own frame for your drop-in tub?  Use the guide and manufacturer’s instructions, and design it exactly as they tell you to for the right fit.  If you’ve had it built already, double-check the measurements against the guide to make sure they’re right.

Before you go any further, check to make sure that everything is lining up!  Put the tub in place and see if your frame is accurate, or out one way or the other.  Then adjust and re-do this step until everything is right on!

Are you ready to make your tub an actual tub?  You have to mark the holes for the plumbing (the spout, taps, and drain) and then cut them out. Double-check those measurements a few times because you only get to do this once!

Test fit your tub again and then secure it in place as instructed by your manual.  Not sure where to start with securing it?  Shims are always a good idea, and it’s what the pros use!  Then, using bolts, and any other securing agents that come with your tub.

Your tub is almost done!  Install all of the hardware, spouts, drains etc, and then you get to grout and attach it to the wall permanently.  Next, time around our alcove as planned and take a step back to admire your work!
