Low Level Baths

[cr0ft]

Hi all. A disabled customer has asked me to quote for fitting a low-level bath. As the bath is around 345mm height with a depth of 480mm then I am guessing I need to be checking whether or not the existing drainage is going to be suitable. I take it that in a ground floor flat I need to quote for removing the (believed) floating floor, screed and mounting it on the concrete bed underneath the building?

Basically, I've not fitted one before so wanted to hear from people who have before I quote!

Thanks.

it may over-flow.??????????

how do those walkin baths work? surely you would get cold waiting for it to fill once you're in and when waiting for it to empty out afterwards (more so).

you see them advertised in the papers usually on saturdays. they just look so impractical.
