Do you need to replace a bathtub that has no flange for tile?
I'm remodeling my bathroom and plan to tile around the tub for a shower. The house is 50 years old. There is no flange on the old bathtub for tiling.

What is between the wall surrounding the tub and the top part of the tub now? Is there any silicone caulking? Is the wall made out of sheetrock?
I understand from your question that you are planning on having shower plumbing installed in this tub area.
If you posted a picture, we could see what exactly it is that you have to work with, and then would be able to offer suggestions specific to your situation.
Thanks for the picture. It makes sense to me what you have been told, but now I see that I do not have personal experience with this same project. Are there any other Hometalkers out there who can share their knowledge with this particular dilemma?
Sharron, by asking lots of questions first, 'talking' to others, and learning, you are approaching the project in the correct way. Don't be discouraged by not immediately getting all the answers you need. Repost your question with the picture.
