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?)


My OH used a lump hammer on ours. He is a plumber by trade, so I guess he
knew what was what on that. It took him about five cracks at it .
One thing I will say though, don't put it down the tip. Take it to the scrap
merchant. OH got £20 for ours ( scrap is by weight apparently). I know
because he gave me the money after he had done it.
