Advice needed a make bath stable.

Hi I wonder whether someone can help me out.

A few months ago ive had a new bath installed, now everything has been fine apart from a few weeks ago I noticed when sitting in the bath I could see a gap where the seal attaches to the wall. At first I thought it needed to be resealed again, but full of water, however I have had a joiner round last weekend do to some boxing of pipe work in and he said I need some battons under the ledge of the bath attached to the wall.

He also said this needed to be done otherwise regardless whether I re-seal the bath needs stabilising. Now ive spoke with the bathstore company where ive purchased the bath from and they have recommended the same.

So ive spoke with my plumber and he mentions making a frame around the bath panels, but would it simply be easier to take the bath out and attach battons to the wall.

Can someone give me some advice please?.

Thanks

was the bath 70%full of water when the sealant was applied !!!!!

this is assumung its a plastic bath

Yes it was full of water, not sure whether it was 70%, but it shouldn't start moving when sitting down anyway.

Yes it's also plastic.
