Hello, do you have to remove the entire tub to retile the walls around it? Or, can you just breakdown the walls around the tub and just put up new blueboard and tile around the tub?

Unless there is damage to the sub floor or the tub, you will be able to re-tile jut the area above the tub and leave the tub in place. While you are at it I would suggest that you replace the fixtures in the tub (if they are relatively old).

All you need is bleach and a sponge Open a window and use neat bleach on the grout and tiles use a magic eraser on the bath as for the floor it needs a steam mop if you cant borrow one again bleach will help it apply neat using a sponge leave a while and then use a cloth wrung out in water to wipe over you may need to do this weekly before you see an effect

No you do not need to remove the tub to tile the walls, but I would recommend you use a hardy backer board instead of green board... Hardy backer is a concrete type of board, works alot better than blue board... I would also recommend to use a mastic glue to install the tiles...

it would be best to take the tub out and replace the entire wall with blueboard.
