Default Cutting concrete laundry tub??? question

I have a laundry tub which I believe is made of concrete. It is divided into
two sections. Is there anyway I can cut out the divider to turn it into one
tub? I'd like to do this to make it easier for my wife to bathe her Airedale.

Use a masonry cutting wheel on an angle grinder.

You may not be able to make the cuts go completely to the bottom
corners, but you should be able to snap the divider out and then finsh
up the bits that are left.

Have patience and WEAR A DUST MASK please.

Happy New Year,

Jeff

Yeah, I suppose you can successfully cut it. It will be a *huge* mess
and dusty and you'll have to patch the rough edges later.

How about replacing the laundry tray with a small bathtub?
