Old cast iron bath coming out too. Just disconnected and weighs a tonne!! Google suggests I should break it so I'll have a go!
The old plumbers use to carry them on their backs .. Nutters ..( maybe that's an old wives tale ... and they all have old wives...oops)
Yes.. Take a good club hammer .. Put some ear muffs on ..close the door... And start breaking it from the overflow all the way down the centre till it breaks in half.. Then into quarters .. Wear builders gloves and be careful.. Very sharp and jagged pieces occur.. Good luck... Oh .. Put something in to stop crap going into your waste pipe ..and be careful of your water feeds, not to damage them!

....and goggles! Splinters of enamel can be like razors, don't be blasé about personal safety, I've got the scars from experience!

Thanks guys. I'm going to put it off until next weekend. Gave it a bit of a tap and I'm going to need to get some ear defenders! Got the bath disconnected and away from the wall fairly easily but I've been struggling all day with the stuck inaccessible stopcock from hell 🙁

Might be a good opportunity to turn the water off at the mains and replace it then!
