Stablising my bath

[darrenh]

I've just put in a new bath and to my surpise the feet had no holes for me to screw it down.

It is an 1800 by 800 monster of a thing and when you stand in it to shower at one end the thing starts to move ....

How can I secure the bath withotu having to rip the thing out and start again - there is acess for me to put a baton under the rim of the bath at one end (against wall) and to build some sort of support at the other....

What about phoning or otherwise contacting the manufacturers of the bath and asking them how the bath should be secured. To balance the bath could you put something under the feet that aren't fully touching the wooden supports?

what do the destructions say

One set of bath instrustions said that the rim of the bath should be supported on battens secured to wall.

I did that and it made firm support for barh and it doesn't move when filled with water so seal stays ok.

Feet are just used to take weight of the bottom of bath.

Always use that method with 'plastic' baths now with no problems.

its interesting that its not secured in any way apart from resting on the battens
