What do I put an old cast iron tub on. Can it sit directly on a new ceramic floor? Would I have to put something under the feet? It will be quite heavy with water in the tub.

Hey Ronnie,

Yes, cast iron tubs are heavy , however the weight is distributed over a fairly large area so it doesn't all concentrate on one spot. Your ceramic tile is backed up by a floor and a subfloor which will give it the strength to hold your tub. Good luck, Tom
