bath fitting

Harpo · 2 Sep 2006

I have fitted a new bath, however the new one is higher than the last. I have managed to fit the waste pipe underneath although this is now flush with the floor. Once the wall is tiled there will be no allowance to be able to disconnect the waste. The bath lip fits into the "chased out area" of the old bath. Options given to me by others are:
1) do nothing as I will probably not need to adjust the waste ever again.
2) re chase the wall and fit bath with room to spare underneath
3) cut a whole in the floorboard!

What do you lot advise?

cut a hole in the floor board, standard practice.

Since the bath is on floorboards it would be really easy to take a bit out. Check that the joists are not in the way if not remove the bit of floorboard between the joists then you could cut around it for the waste to fit and put the floorboard section back. Good luck

Are you using a shallow trap.

Thanks for your replies, I can confirm a shallow trap is being used but there is still no room. I will go for the floorboard mod.
Thanks again.
