we are planning to remodel one of our bathrooms which is used
primarily by our daughter ans is also used as the "guest" bathroom.
the plans call for replacing a cast iron bathtub. are there any
benefits or drawbacks in using acrylic versus cast iron when we
replace this tub? she takes showers exclusively, however this is the
only "full" bathroom in the house. thanks for any/all advise &
recommendations.

It is really hard to move around a cast iron tub in an existing structure.

The only disadvantage that I can think of to the acrylic is that cigarette
butts will burn it if left laying on the tub rim. That is the only damage
tenants have managed to do them over a period of about 20 years.
