    This is a big job! We have done it several times in different homes. If you tub is cast iron, it will be more difficult to remove than a fiberglass tub. A heavy cast iron tub might have to be broken up with a sledge hammer to remove it because of the heavy weight and/or size. A fiberglass tub can be cut up with a saw or sometimes just carried out. Go to YouTube and find videos, read books, and talk to others. Just the tub removal is a huge job - but replacing the walls, tiles, faucets - are also part of this process. Might have to call a professional to do this if you have no experience or no assistance.
