Back to wall double ended baths.

[Matt0029]

Anyone fitted many of these? I am just intrested in how the bath panel usually fixes? With it being curved, is it clips on the bottom? And the wall? Thanks

I haven’t, but is there any downloadable instructions?

Edit: just found these, surely similar?

My bath is very similar at home. So what I did was tiled the bathroom, then put the bath in last. This way you can adjust the height of the bath to get the panel to fit perfect and tight to your finished floor level. I also stuck batons of wood at the bottom where it rests so it couldn't get pushed in at the bottom. Didn't need screwing either.

Overall a bit tricky, but it looks great.

Similar to most panels where you get clips that screw to the underside of the bath and to the floor, I haven't done one where the panel fixes to the wall. But always fit a batton up the wall and with a couple blobs of silicone press the panel up against them to reduce the panel flexing

Thanks, how is the bath usually fixed to the wall L brackets?

I have a house with one in that is damaged. Tiled floor and walls underneath and around.
I'm hoping to swap the bath without having to re-do the tiling. Sound plausible?

Once the bath panel is taken off you will clearly see how/if it's fixed. It my just have the feet screwed to the floor and be siliconed back to the wall.

Removing and refitting without removing or damaging tiling is plausible, just depends how the old bath is fixed. Fitting the new one to the existing tiles is easy so long as the bath is the same size. Or get a bigger bath so you can fit the bath against the tiles to cover the gap where the old bath was.

In answer to your first question. I have fitted some with spring clips under bath edge and clips/batten on floor; some with an adjustable metal framework which is integral to the bath, the panel is then fixed to that with magnets (it has metal plates bonded to rear of panel) - the latter were superb but hideously expensive.
