New bath delivered - unsure if marks are damage or "normal".

[Bampot]

Hi all

I've just had a bath delivered and it has marks that look a bit like gouges on the bottom.

Are these just how baths come or has it been damaged in transit?.

If it is damage is it likely to cause any problems? (Keen to get the bath in if it is ok).

There is nothing to see on the inside of the bath.

Thanks for any advice!

I would say it’s manufacturing damage looks like it’s on the chipboard underneath so your fine but check the bath over fully for other damage

Someone has put their fingers in the fibreglass resin before it was dry.
It's there for extra strength, nothing to do with being watertight or not.

Go to 3.10 on this video below and you see them put the chipboard on the base, then spray it.

Many thanks chaps.

I'll be keeping the bath then.

Pity the sink pedestal was delivered as a ready to build mosaic (new one on it way).

Just normal for baths to have a rough finish around the fibreglass covered chipboard

I don’t like plastic baths...they move twist and unless really well supported will leak especially if there is a shower involved. Pressed Steel for me in every holiday let and home I own Centralheatking
