Frequently asked questions
Q I am refurbishing my bathroom in a very old house. The floor is very uneven and I am worried about installing a bath.
A Don’t worry. All baths have adjustable legs and feet which should take up the unevenness of your bathroom floor. The bath should then be installed perfectly level.
Q My bathroom is really small and has never had a bath in it. What can I do?
A Don’t worry. Recent and developments in bath design mean that many manufacturers now produce baths of compact dimensions and shape to suit your requirements.
