Finally, cut the joints around the tub with a craft knife to detach it from the walls and the apron.
For a wooden deck covered with tiles: first unscrew the drain grid to remove the tub to reach the screws holding the formwork to the battens.
For a bathtub with a plaster tile apron, the only solution is to break it with a sledgehammer. Remember to clear the ground of rubble as you go.
If you want to keep the taps, carefully unscrew the thermostatic mixer.

Finally, remove the siphon connected to the wastewater evacuation pipe. While waiting for your new installation, we advise you to seal it with a tape.
Depending on your new project, you may also need to do plumbing work to offset the water inlet and outlet pipes. Delicate work that often requires the intervention of a plumbing professional.
