Bathroom renovation and equipment has several production stages that should be followed in strict order. Here is dismantling of old plumbing equipment and finishing, and waterproofing works, and rough preparation of the room, and much more.

Special attention should be paid to how to properly install the bathtub, so that in the future its operation does not cause any complaints.

Most of the plumbing market in Nizhny Novgorod or in another city, bathtubs are made of acrylic , steel or cast iron . All of them are in almost equal demand and have their pros and cons. Recently, steel and acrylic bathtubs have begun to share the palm between themselves. They are less expensive, convenient, lightweight and even one person can handle their installation.

Before installation, you should take careful measurements of the bathroom so as not to make a mistake with the dimensions of the purchased product and the material from which it will be made. Only after that you can go to the store and buy a suitable model.

The location where you will install the bathtub is chosen based on the capacity of the entire room and the functional values ​​of individual objects.

After this, disconnect and take out the old bathtub. To do this, disassemble the plastic or break out the cast-iron drain, knock out or otherwise remove the legs and remove the bathtub from its place, tilting it to the side. After this, it will be possible to turn it and take it out. Next, you should thoroughly clean and wipe dry the sewer socket, insert a corrugated pipe into it, and secure all joints with sealant. If the new bathtub is cast iron, you need to use a plumbing cuff, which is placed in the drain hole.

The bathtub should be placed on a prepared flat concrete screed or on a tiled floor, if you do not intend to cover it with a decorative screen. Baths that are produced now are usually equipped with special adjustable legs that allow you to install the product, taking into account small features of the floor. A correctly installed bathtub should not dangle or swing from side to side.

In order not to damage the surface of the new bathtub, it is not recommended to remove the protective coating from it until all work is completed.

It is assumed that for greater stability, three sides of the bathtub should rest on the walls. Moreover, since the bathtub should be installed before tiling the walls, there should be a gap of at least 5 mm between the walls of the bathtub and the sides.
