Firstly was the work inspected,tested and certificated to part p 2005 building regs??? Think it would be stretching it a bit to call this an accessory change. Bathroom/showerroom now counts as a "special location" and all but the most basic work needs to be certificated by those of us competent...

A decent socket set should have something to fit i use an all singing snap on kit but a pal of mine does perfectly well with halfords top of the range professional set (£100)

As chris said just run the cold across and use either a mini unvented cylinder or an instantaneous heater in outhouse. Have done this many times to converted garages etc

Would recomend steel and would suggest a Roca "contessa" lovely plain steel bath will match anything else you buy, is top quality and is yours for @£100. Have used loads without problem

:evil: This contraption came from tiles r us and was allegdly "hand made" in China. The install was in very tight spot so that made it doubly hard but the damn thing didnt go toghether well. Electrically the thing was sound and it plumbed in ok but 90% of the predrilled holes didnt line up so...

The installation instructions were quite good but only had a look for a minute or two, all the electrics in a sealed unit, wiring diagram shows a transformer but they would wouldn't they! "Simple electrical connection, simple plumbing connections" as you know guys those are words that nearly...

those marks are just a guide you have to bend to the same point on the pipe diameter to get consistent results. learn the "measure back" technique (top plumbing jargon) its the easiest way to bend
