Flooring under tub?

Remodeling my kids bathroom. Gutted everything today. Existing shower tub was a single piece. Probably installed when the house was built in 1985. So what I’ve been reading says tub first then flooring since it doesn’t make sense to put the flooring under the tub. But that gap right at the tub with kids dripping so much water on the floor is what was damaging the flooring. I’m sure part of that was just how they sealed it but am I better to put my vinyl flooring under the tub or do the tub first then flooring to the tub? It’s not a lot of space so maybe an extra pack @ 58 dollars. But if it could cause more issues then I’m considering I’d want to avoid it. I’ll be posting lots of questions and a before and after once done. Thanks! submitted by /u/ADMOatyMcOatface [link] [comments]
