We are in the process of remodeling our bathroom and I am wondering if it is possible to put in an old style claw foot tub?? Are there any alternatives available that would fit better through a doorway?? Also we were looking into jet/spa tubs and a friend said something about a remodeling tub that comes in pieces and is better for installing in existing homes. I can’t seem to find these and am wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Thank you so much!! Hope someone can help with a first time diy!!

go for a modern tub if you like showers. and yes there is a remodelers tub and enclosure. it is little shorter to you can get it into old openning. without damage to your walls. or the encloser is in 2or 3 pieces. its almost impossible to get a one piece in the old spot they were installed before the walls were finished.– also for a jet/spa tub be sure its not too big for your water heater to fill and keep warming it.. if not ? you need a tub with an internal heater to keep it warm.
You need to measure your doorway and the size of the tub to determine what will fit. You really shouldn’t have a problem if you stick to a standard size, but speak to your plumber or contracter.
Here is a popular company that your friend is talking about with comments to consider. There are a couple of others out there, but I forgot their names.
