Should I put additional blocks under the bath legs

Been fitting baths for the last 15 years on chipboard/floorboards,never known any leak to cause any major problems. ;)

Fair enough, guess we can all only go on our own experiences. :)

Wooden floorboards, agreed never had an issue, just a couple with bowing on older boards. Only seen breakthrough on chipboard and only when it got damp, so I always advise better safe than sorry now.
 
Fair point,the only time I add timber or support to a bath is to gain height. Each to their own experience,not criticizing any views. ;)
 
Indeed Jack and always open to different people's experiences that's for sure, it's how we all learn after all IMO.

Looking at the label it's Structural Ply (for use in Walls, Floors & Roofs) Adhesive is MUF+PF. Requires treatment for external use. It's getting used as a bath panel to tile.

Use Hardy Backer board for tiling on.

All hilarious......... no need to place anything under your bath legs. The flooring itself spreads the load over existing floor joists., adding anything else would be pointless.

Almost certainly the worst piece of advice I've seen for a long time


Loading c.150/200kgs on 4 points to chipboard flooring is asking for future problems
