Hi all,
Have just spent 2 hours trying to drill fixing holes in a concrete floor today without success. Using an 850W Dewalt Hammer Drill with Carbide concrete drill bit. Can't drill a hole deep enough to fit a rawl plug in. Thus, I can't fix the spreaders to the floor with screws, so I've had to use grab adhesive.
I was out of options, so I've put wood spreaders under all legs, battons under the bath at both ends. I've siliconed between the bath and the wall at both ends too. I've fixed the spreaders to the concrete with grab adhesive and am now leaving it to dry for 24 hours. Feet are all screwed into the spreaders.
Has anyone else had to do this before, i.e. not been able to drill the concrete under the bath?
Anyone got any better ideas?
