Shower after fitting bath (no tiles )

[den9112]

Hi, i will be replacing my old cast iron bath at the weekend and i will be taking the exsisting tiles of before i put the new bath in . I am putting decor panels in place of the tiles , but that will be next weekends job and in the meantime i would like to still use the shower , problem being with no tiles and seal it is not ideal , but with two teenagers in the family we still need to use the shower . could any one recomend a good way round this albeit temporary. ........ Also i have measured the hot and cold feed pipes with a micro metre and i get 21.86 mm so am i correct that i have 22mm feed pipes and not 3/4 inch , as i believe the taps are 3/4 inch so would this mean i would need a 22mm flexi pipe with a 3/4 tap connection . hanks

you got it. 22mm pipe the taps will be 3/4" bsp thread size.

can't you rig up a shower curtain for now ?

I have a shower curtain at the moment that will cover 3/4 of the shower when in use , just concerned when the kids use it as they will not be a as carefull myself and my wife .

only you can control that one.
you don't want them soaking the place to much

Tape a cheap plastic dustsheet to the wall, draped into the bath. Should prevent too much damage to walls and beyond.

I have deliberatley bought a bath that is aprox 50mm shorter than the exsisting on 1600mm . I will have a gap at one of the ends and i am not sure which one , it all depends on wethere i replace with tiles or decor panel, and the shower pipe feed. Could anyone tell me what size you can get the beading that goes around the bath to seal. Thanks

put the gap at the tap end

I was going to that , but the shower feed needs to come up through the bath to meet the shower. I suppose i could drill a 15mm hole in the end of the bath to accomodate .
