My freestanding acrylic bathtub is only held in place by caulk. Is that...normal?
My husband and I are in the process of replacing the caulk around our freestanding acrylic tub after noticing that it was degrading (and also that there was no caulk at all around the back side. Separate question: is that weird? we should caulk all the way around, right?). Today, we were removing the old caulk. After we had removed all of it around the front and one side, I leaned on it to get in to the other side and felt it shift. It turns out the tub was only secured by the caulk and now it can pivot freely around the drain. Is that strange? Is that something we should fix in some way before recaulking? Here's a photo of the tub. Happy to provide more angles/close ups if that's helpful! submitted by /u/athanasia_ [link] [comments]
