Anyone Remove Bathtub W/o Reno Bathroom?

[matrix0405 0]

Anyone remove their bathtub alone without re-tiling the whole bathroom? Most bathtub are against the wall, so some wall and floor tiles will be affected. Any advice to replace/beautify them with new tiles, when you are unable to get the exact matching tiles back? Any other things like water proofing to take note?

You may choose any tiles to cover the existing U shape shower wall, install a kerb and shower screen to cover edge of overlayed tiles. Hack away floor finish under longbath. Remember to apply non-shrink grout+water proofing+water proof prepack mortar+water proof grouting for floor tiles.

This should be ok but its not 100% best is to hack whole floor and retile.
