Default Raising the bathroom

Greetings.....I have a bathrom that slopes down over a inch or so at one
end, the foundation has sunk that much over the last almost 50 years.
Too costly too raise foundation so I want to put in another floor on top
of the old one and bring it back to level. The main thing is raising the
bathtub and toilet.
Question: How is the bathtub fixed to the floor?...I have a large
crawlspace below the bathroom but I don't see any ancores or fastners,
is it held by gravity? I really just need to raise one end of tub to
level out with the new floor....which would just be some well ancored
plywood. Basiclly just getting everything in bathroom to be bubble
level again.
Thanks,


All that holds it in is the drywall and possibly some clips along the
wall suggest youcut the drywall 18 to 24 inches up all the way
around , Take the drain piece out of the bottom and remove the
overflow plate then turn it on its front then on its end then walk it
out.
