Homeowner with a decent amount of handiness but wondering if I’m going to bite off more than I can chew. Is it worth it to try and remove the old shower tub combo and replace it with a new one pretty much by myself? I realize this is a bit of a loaded question and can’t really be answered without knowing my skills but if anyone with skills can share some tips or steer me away from attempting this that would be much appreciated.

The hardest part is lining up the new drain. You may have to trim out some drywall to angle the new tub in place, but overall the process isn't terrible. You'll want to wrap, cardboard and do whatever else you can to not scratch the fiberglass while you're doing the finishing.
