I aggree with policydoctor1. Bur buy good quality ball valve 1/2 x 3/8″ (Dahl) and flexible supply tubing.

Ask to your contractor, how he does his job. The preparation is the key. The tub must be sand and cleaned with tsp. There must be no dust.

I did it in an appartment 2 years ago and the tub is still in very good shape.

We must keep old cast iron thub. They are better than steel thub.

The most important thing is préparation. Clean your thub whit tsp and sand it.

Foam is wather proof. But you can add an aluminium vapor barrier to keep heat inside.
Put a 2 in foam.

If it is a cast iron, use a sledge hammer. But first cover it whit a scrap cloth.

If your wather heater is almost 10 years old, you should replace it.

Nothing else than a brush. The same one that we use to clean a bottle.

Your studs must be drying. Dis you ad some studs ? If yes, it’s normal and your situation will get normal in a few months.

[jfh1967]

What do you mean exactly ? Annual maintenance ?

[jfh1967]

Wich of these you used ? How long and how many ?

[jfh1967]

He’s right. thats not an esay job. But it’s ok to make a tranch and put a pvc pipe of 1″ tu run the cable. Call a contractor for the remaining job. A real one. Not a fly by night !
