Very easy solution,we convert these all the time The main goal is to not seethe toilet when the door is open only attainable half of the time due to size limitations.put a nice walk in shower where your tub is ,destroy the walls shower and clear that area ,turn the toilet with the back against the wall where you walk in ,and lastly get a nice big vanity with two sinks .. Nice project.PS We almost always move /eliminate the plumbing in a bathroom Reno anyways.Never let the plumbing dictate where things go.

One option - although may not the best - would you be interested in building a platform for the tub to sit on? It would make it taller, in which case you may need to make it large enough to stand on as you inter the tub. You could run the drain through this. (Useful in situations where one may need a temporary location as it does not require opening the floor). Otherwise, check out Oceana Tubs at http://www.oceania-attitude.com/baths They may have what you are looking for. The toe drain is just a push in and out style - pretty easy to find at plumbing stores. Hope that helps? Robert with BATHOLOGi LLC.

Most three sided tubs will have a tile flange raising upwards from those three sides. That flange needs to be covered, or it will look pretty strange. That means building a small wall down on that end of the tub that comes up and wraps over the tile flange with tile. Maybe cap it off with similar material as your countertop. Could be a nice place to set a book or glass of wine will in the tub. If you don't want to build that short wall, take a look at other tubs that have an end. I believe Oceana Bathtubs has a couple.

As for me, I don't want t claw foot or otherwise freestanding tub - it's just what came with my 1928 house, and it would be a project-and-a-half to remove. I want to make it into a drop-in partly b/c I want to tile the floor (which is now vinyl), and I want a straight edge for the tiles to go up to (not to have to work around the claw feet or try to lift the tub to put the tiles under it).
