| I am looking to replace a cast iron tub in a small space. The tub is 51-1/4 (width tile to tile), and 30-1/8 (depth tile to front edge). I was hoping to find a Vikrell or similar drop in with a tile lip on it... but this seems to be a very hard size to find... and I don't have room to go to 60". Does anyone have any idea where I can find such a tub at a reasonable cost? My only other option is to convert the area to a stand up shower. |

| FYI, Under the probable mud job tile, the framing to framing RO is very (most) likely to be 54. That bit of info may help in your search; that's a 4'6" alcove tub. The link is to a Kohler model of that dimension, and it's the same depth as you have as well. Casey |
Here is a link that might be useful: Kohler Seaforth 54

| Have you considered tub refinishing instead? Cast iron feels much more solid than a new, inexpensive tub. Anyway, American Standard 54" MacKenzie is one. |
