Once you have cleared all the above, order your freestanding bathtub of choice. This is also the time to consider your options for filling the tub. Will it be a freestanding fill spout rising from the floor, a curved waterfall spout mounted in a wall, a ceiling-mounted rain shower head, or a freestanding faucet? Use your hands along with your eyes to inspect the entire unit, checking for any cracks, chips, scratches, or other defects. If any are found, do not install the unit, but contact the manufacturer immediately.
Also inspect ancillary items shipped with the tub to ensure that they, too, are in good design and functional condition, and use this opportunity to re-tighten any parts that may have loosened during shipment. If everything checks out, still continue to inspect the tub and plumbing systems throughout the installation, in case you catch something that was previously missed. Floor preparation comes next.
Depending on the type of existing flooring, this will mean minor to considerable demo work first, to accommodate the necessary P-trap and waste drains. You may choose to lay new flooring down at this time or place a section of water-resistant flooring down to surround the tub area. Have ready all the tools and supplies needed for the job and follow the step-by-step directions provided with your unit.

If your subfloor is wood, measure the size of your tub. Recreate the bottom of the freestanding tub on the floor. Open this section of the floor. Cut a hole that will accommodate the drain and the plumbing trap.
Every freestanding tub has a drain kit. Check to ensure that the drain nut is there. Also, check if the waste location in the bathtub aligns with the drain hole on the floor. You can measure the drain under the bathtub to know its level of alignment with the floor.
Now, the floor is clean. Try to clean out any debris and dirt on the drain hole. You may use a damp cloth for the cleaning. Then, leave it to dry. Finally, pour some dry silicone in and around the drain hole.
First, place a plastic bushing on the drain tail piece. Attach the drain tail piece to the freestanding tub from the bottom. Now, guide the tub into position. Caulk the freestanding tub at its point of contact with the floor. Try to clean off any excess caulk with a damp cloth. Now that you know how to install freestanding tub, what about its maintenance routine?

Once the caulk is dry, you can wipe away any excess with a damp cloth.
