If I lived a little closer, I'd lend him my 10 Lb sledge and some contractor bags. :lol:

Edit: Always exercise caution when smashing porcelain covered cast iron. I learn things the hard way. Safety goggles are cheap.

Or I'll have to pay someone to haul it away!

Probably snapped up by an architectural salvage retailer who'll get it re-enameled and sell it on for big money. I put a new GRP bath in and sold the old enamel one for an amount that paid for the 'glass bath and a new sink & bog to go with it. There's good money in old crap that Southerners consider fashionable! The buyer of mine came all the way from that London with a 35cwt Tranny to carry it home - 360 miles each way.

Really? Shoulda kept mine... first thing I threw out when I bought my house. Oh well. It's a hassle waiting for the right person sometimes.

I suppose salvage culture varies from one place to another, but there's a healthy demand for Victorian and earlier cast iron bathroom suites in the many parts of the UK. Take a look at These prices. Salvage is a very lucrative game to be in and these are private sales. Dealers would add between 100% and 300% on average to the prices on Gumtree, more for baths that are professionally re-enamelled. ;-)
 
I had an old cast iron bath in my last house - it was really long and deep - I'm 6 foot 1 and it was longer than me. Much better than the short and shallow fibreglass bath in my current house.

James.... :-)

And that right there is why I regret getting rid of mine! The shorter GRP one is OK and it allowed space for my shower tray behind it, but the cast one I had was longer than me (I'm 6'2" laid flat). OK, so it cost a fortune to fill it enough to allow me to float but really that didn't matter.
I probably wouldn't have bothered had it not been for the impact on my property values caused by upgrading their energy efficiency ratings with these silly plastic baths!
