I can't refinish the existing tub because the broken drain area is too suspect with just an epoxy repair. I hadn't thought of busting it up but that's a good idea. I busted up a huge old boiler in my house to get it out of the basement. I can't imagine the racket of a cut off saw in a bathroom but I'm afraid it would remind me too much of that scene from Scarface. My real concern is getting a replacement back in without tearing down walls since I usually only have a few days to complete work between tenants. It's sounding as if it's a two day job which is good.
