You either could move the stone bathtub on the rolling dolly inside the bathroom if your house is already finished or lower it from the roof by crane if the house is just half finished. You could have your builders leave part of the roof off if you decide to go with marble bathtub, granite bathtub or travertine bathtub, so it could be lowered in by crane, which should be the easiest way of moving the stone bathtub inside the bathroom.
1.Check the bathroom floor to verify it is stable and strong enough to support the weight of the tub when it is full of water. Typically, the floor must support a minimum of 1,400 pounds. Then slide a level across the floor to ensure there are no low spots in the tub area.
2.Inspect the tub upon delivery. Look for cracks, damage to the finish or any other blemishes that interfere with the operation of the tub. Contact the manufacturer or shipping service in regard to damages.
3.Test the tub while it is still outside of your home by filling it with water. Look for leaks around the sides of the tub. Watch the bottom of the tub for bubbles. If bubbles form on the bottom of the tub, that is an indication that air is coming in from underneath. It is a sign of damage to the tub and requires replacement or repair.
4.Measure the tub to determine how it will best fit through doorways. Remove doors from hinges as needed to bring the tub into the house.
5.Clear the path from the delivery truck to the bathroom. Move obstacles out of the path as needed, including taking pictures off the wall.
6.Turn the water off to the tub pipes. Use the shut-off valve behind the access panel or on the wall. Remove any old faucets or damaged pipes.
7Lay a piece of cardboard in the bottom of the tub. Leave any protective film on the outside of the tub. Set the tub on an appliance dolly, secure the straps around it and move it to the bathroom. Gently lower the tub into the installation area.
