18mm board to spread load under bath.

OK. A belated thank you, guys. So I'll get some 4 x 2 timbers for under the bath.

cant understand why you are worried. Cast iron baths were the norm not long ago and I have never known one going thro' the floor.

The weight of the water of a filled bath far exceeds the weight of a cast iron bath. I suspect that he is concerned because the bath he as is some what bigger than the normal, though not massively so.

Bless you for being polite!

Yes, I am over the odds, weight-wise! Plus, this is a double-ended bath, so will hold two adults at times. Plus it is bigger: has a greater litreage.

So, I just want to play safe; I'd rather over-engineer it!

Thanks again for all your contributions.

What's a double-ended bath for??
