How Do You Remove Bath Tub Drain?
Comments (5)The drain unscrews from the assembly below the tub. Normally the drain and overflow are all one assembly. If you have access to the back/underside of the tub it's a lot easier, because you can control both the drain basket from the top and the nut that captures the threads on the basket from below. However, you can try to replace the basket just using access from above. Easiest way is with a tool called a "basket wrench": An inexpensive basket wrench costs maybe $5 to $10 at a hardware store. You can see how this would lock on to the cross pieces in the basket and allow you to rotate the basket counterclockwise to unthread it. Or you can use the standard DIY method which is to insert two sturdy screwdrivers into the basket, one at the 9 o'clock position and one in the 3 o'clock position, and cross the screwdrivers and use that leverage to rotate the basket. Once the basket is removed, clean the tub surface and install a new basket using a bead of plumbers putty. I will say that the proper way, and the best way, is to have access from below. It's best to set the basket into the putty and then secure it by rotating the nut from below instead of rotating the basket from above....See MoreHow Do You Remove and Replace a Bath Tub Drain?

Comments (22)They were super nice and accomodating when I sent in a request through their contact form with my questions. I didn't know they made 96" panels, had a corner seat, or bigger niche with a shelf until I asked. Also providing a "remodelers" trim that allows you to put the panels over existing tile is a huge bonus if you don't want to do a tile tearout. I think they thought of everything so wouldn't be surprised if they do your dual threshold. They sent me the following details on order fulfillment and shipping: "Once an order is placed, it will take 2-3 business days to fabricate and 2-3 business in transit from our Utah factory to get to Denver. The materials are fairly sizable, so they will be strapped to a large pallet and sent on a truck as an LTL shipment. The carrier will call you before making the delivery. They will arrange an appointment with you to make the delivery. You will need to be home to receive the delivery. They will drop the pallet at your front door or in your garage." Made in the USA is a huge plus so there is no delay. Also when I called to place the order we talked to the guy and asked about what aspects people had trouble with on installation and he walked us through his tips and suggestions. We had already watched all their on-line installation videos and read the instructions. Everything seemed doable and was well described....See MoreClawfoot tub + shower - how to fill gap btwn wall and tub?
