Installing right hand drain tub in a location with a left hand drain

Is this possible? At minimum would I need to break the slab to make way for a pipe extension to the other side where the drain is, as well as the overflow drain?
I'm remodeling our master bath to a walk in shower and want to replace the tub in the guest bath with the one I'm removing from the master.

Don't waste your time. Breaking the slab is a very bad idea too!

Take it back and get a left drain

You need to go speak with Mr. Flanders about this.

Unless there is a special reason for saving the old tub, the cheapest route is a new tub.
Then you could put the old tub in the front yard and fill with flowers. Neighbors would be jealous!

Pics.
Diagram.
This is a joke, right?
Drain is round, yes?

Buy another tub. What you're are trying to do would be a lot tougher.

Getting a new tub would be best, but it's possible to build the tub up a little and run the pipe under it.

I done something similar when I remodeled mine. You can easily break the slab up by using a hammer drill and drilling a bunch of holes where you want to run the new pipe and then using a chisel bit on the hammer drill to break it up. After drilling the holes the chisel bit slides thru the concrete like butter. Just make sure you spray for termites since you will be disturbing the dirt.

Buy a new tub, yeah you could make it work but it's not worth it. It's still going to cost you money and could be a pita. So much better off finding parts that work instead of jerry rigging what you have.

Get a new tub.
Put the old tub in the back yard. Take peptides and go hang out in it. That's what they do on TV.

Have you considered a sump pump?

Spend the extra $300 and go buy a new tub

It has to be a skirted tub if you have this issue.
A new skirted tub shouldnt be more than $500.
It's going tutu cost more than that to redo the slab.

Hold a mirror up to it....

Build a 6" high platform for the tub to sit on. Shouldn't cost more than 50 bucks. A lot cheaper and safer than cutting into the slab
