        "text": "The total cost of removing a bathtub depends on several factors, primarily the tub's material, accessibility, and what replaces it. Simply demolishing and hauling away an old alcove tub requires less labor than breaking down and extracting a cast-iron tub through narrow residential doorways. Costs also adjust if the underlying subfloor has water damage requiring repair, or if drain lines must be shifted. Working with an owner-operated contractor who directly manages demolition, framing, and drywall helps control labor overhead compared to hiring separate, disconnected trade specialists.",

        "description": "Costs depend on tub material, plumbing relocation, subfloor condition, and whether you are replacing it with a new tub, a walk-in shower, or custom tile work."
