Shower baths

[Jane Foster]

Hi

Wondering if someone could help me.

I'm trying to find the leg support kits for a L shape shower bath,
but so far am not having any luck.


Also i was thinking of buying a concealed thermostatic shower, but don't know if i would be able to have one
of these with the system we have - our hot water is heated by a coal fire, it also heats the radiators,
we have a hot water tank and the cold water tank/tub is just above it ( not in attic) there is just a pump for the radiators
that's in the living room.

Would i be able to have one of these if another pump was installed or would that mean redoing all the system?

Hi. Jane
You can get thermostic showers which will work on very low presure or if you want a decent shower you could fit a pump

Re the bath
If you know the manufacturer of the bath, start with them, if not, then something could be made up to solve your problem.

An electric shower could be a better choice.

Re bath legs, you can use wood instead.

10mm screwed rod, some nuts and 5 (including the middle leg) back plates that are used with 10mm screwed rod for brass pipe clips can be used as substitute legs. All available from BES, or space out good quality treated 6" x 2" timber under the bath and fit it to the bath and floor with stretcher plates. The latter can be time consuming to get the bath level, the screwed rod allows infinite adjustment.

Thank you for all your help.

I may have found something - are these the right ones ?
Bennetts of Bromsgrove - Shower Support Brackets


If these are ok to use - i may get these, but also give the bath more support by doing a frame
of some kind round it.


Dontknowitall - thanks but would really like a hidden shower - don't really like the electric showers.

They look good but support the rim on timber battens as well.
