I am about to plumb in my bath in the next few days. first time for me. So I have a few questions which Im sure are easy to answer for non -rookies.
TRAP
In terms of the trap - is there much difference between P trap , shallow P trap and any others. what tends to work best? or is it all about how much clearance you have from the bottom of bath to floor?
SEALANT
I read somewhere that you are supposed to seal the bath to the wall first with silicone. then fit tiles, then seal again once tiles are in place. Is this the best technique?
People talk about using silicone to fit the taps, waste and overflow fittings into the bath holes. Is there any difference between this and silicone sealant used to seal around the edge between bath and tiles?
BATONS
Is it advisable to screw batons to the wall first to rest the rim of the bath on (as well as using the supplied feet)
any advice welcome
thanks
