    It can be. To get a sense of the scope of the project, start checking how many walls, if any, you will need to open to replace the tub.

    It is quite possible there will be some dirt, especially if it hasn't been replaced in a long time.

    You will unfortunately have to cut the tub around the drain. I've had them break on me almost every time.

    What is the approximate cost to replace a bathtub?

    Having the tub removed is the biggest expense. Then it depends on whether you want a walk-in shower or another tub or a pre-fab shower cubicle (cheaper than a tiled shower).
