How to Move a Marble Bathtub

Moving a marble bathtub isn't much unlike moving any other heavy piece of furniture or an appliance. It requires a little more labor because of its sheer weight, but with the right tools, the job can proceed smoothly. Using a furniture dolly offers the tub the proper support for moving. Enlisting the help of a few friends makes lifting the tub less laborious.

  Lay down carpet or plywood pieces on the floors along the moving path.

  Roll the dolly over the carpet or plywood, through any doorways and out to the moving truck.
