Replacing bathtub

[SickAndTiredAgain]

I’ve noticed that the bottom of our bath has a crack in it. I’m assuming it’s not longer watertight so I’m wondering what’s best to do?

Is there a way to fix it somehow?
Or if not, can a bathtub be replaced without damaging the tiles around it?

As long as the new bath has the same dimensions I don't see why it can't be replaced as long as done with care not to crack the tiles removing the old one. I'd get some quotes and see what they say. Are the tiles still available? Perhaps you can get a few replacements just in case.

Thanks. I’m not sure about the tiles - we bought the house a few years ago and this was the bathroom that was here so not sure where they’re from. We definitely don’t have spares though, and it’s not just the surrounding walls but a tiled “shelf” bit at the end of the bath where shampoos etc go. I’m assuming the new bath would need to be exactly the same length, width, height and footprint - which is annoying as it’s a massive (wide) bath with a curved end which we don’t need but I’m guessing for the flooring to work it would need to be the same.
