Step 1 · Prepare the Work Area

Begin by preparing your work area to prevent damage and streamline the process. Lay down an old towel or a drop cloth inside the bathtub to protect the surface from dropped tools. Open the access panel behind the tub and place a bucket directly under the drain pipes to catch any residual water. Unpack your new bathtub waste and overflow drain assembly kit and lay out all the new parts and required tools so they are easily accessible.
