Moving Bathtub across room on a concrete slab
I am considering changing the location of my bathtub. I'd like to replace it with a whirlpool garden-style tub, and move it over to another wall. On the new wall the drain end of the tub would butt against the existing freestanding shower.
This would require breaking through the slab to install the new plumbing for the tub, and somehow capping off the existing tub drain, which would be in the middle of the floor after the move. (if this makes no sense I can attach a sketch). I am planning to replace the bathroom floor anyway; it's currently carpet and I'd like to replace it with tile.
Is this even feasible from an engineering standpoint? Will the cost be totally insane? I'm not planning on doing any of the plumbing or installation work myself, just the tile floor.
Thanks!
