I'm replacing a cast-iron bath (enamel in poor condition) with an
acrylic
one. The present bath has walls along both ends and the far side so
it will
need to be broken up to get it out, especially as I hope to preserve
the
wall tiles above it. I recall from many years ago that I had great
trouble
breaking a cast-iron bath -- a sledge hammer just bounced off it.
Does anyone have any advice -- apart of course from the
angle-grinder.
(Actually, would that be a possibility? Slot cut in the edge of the
bath,
then cold chisel to split?)

Stephen,

There was a thread on this theme a few weeks ago, and I'll repeat the
advice I gave then: drill a hole through the bath to create a 'stress
riser' then wack it with a club hammer on the hole - bigger is better.
