Integral usually means a skirt that is part of the tub, as opposed to a “removable” apron which bolts onto the tub. ANY apron, however means that the tub is designed to fit into an alcove or similar installation with the side of the tub exposed.
How do you remove an apron from a bathtub?
Find a spot to insert a flat-head screwdriver near the bottom end of the skirt. Pry the bottom of the skirt away from the tub, using care to avoid scratching the bathroom floor.
