Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This video covers the best way to install a bath. It's worked for us hundreds of times and should for you too! We cover removing the old bath, attaching the legs to the new bath and using a spirit level to level the new bath. We also cover fixing it to the wall and using glue and adhesive to seal it tight before tiling.

    anyone who uses the stupid bath brackets is a mug . put 50mm by 25mm batten to support the underside edge of the bath ( all 3 sides ) then drop vertical batten to support from the batten to the floor. Does anyone know that a bath filled with water alone is the weight of 6 10 stone people ? approx 420kg ??? 1mm of movement after fitting = a leaking bath with a shower above. ESPECIALLY A PLASTIC BATH. FITTED TO A PLASTERBOARD WALL.

    So after you've levelled the bath, you can then offer the panel up and find it doesn't fit. Alternatively you offer the panel up first and once you've got the correct height, then you can level the bath up. Saves a lot of messing about if you do it right from the start!
