I'm sure I'm not the only person to come across this problem - but I would like to know how other people have solved it without making it an eyesore - which seems to be the only solution for me!
Victoria Plumb - online bathroom retailer, nice range of stuff, good prices and delivered efficiently. Problem is, like many suppliers now, their repro roll-top baths are made of acrylic, not cast iron (not that I could have got a cast iron one up our narrow stairs anyway...) - and consequently, the bath is very light - in fact, if I accidently fall against it while trying to paint the skirting boards, it moves - in fact it moves very easily
The ornamental claw feet conceal the usual screwed adjusting pad, but there is no clearance (or space) to screw the pad to the floor - the only alternatives seem to be - drill through the ornamental claw feet and use a long screw into the floor, screw a couple of wooden blocks to the floor in front of the feet to restrict movement, or make myself 2cm high, crawl under the floorboards and screw up from underneath (using my micro-radar to find the minute amount of space on the adjustable pads ) Luckily I used flexible couplings for the tap connections, but I am worried about the waste leaking as the connector moves...
Any elegant solutions or suggestions gratefully received!
