TBH we hired somebody to replace the tub and surround though. I did everything else. It took about 6 months - and believe me, I heard about it from my wife and younger son. My older son is the reason all the stuff in our house has needed fixing. I owe all I know about plumbing to him.
Great work. What a vast improvement!!!
