Advice on rotating a bathtub

[Auric]

Hi everyone

I was wondering if I could get some advice on turning a bath tub around 180 degrees. I've just moved into a new house and the way the bath is at the moment means that we cannot install a shower (very annoying having baths every day). I'm kind of handy with DIY and I'm sure that I can do it if I could just get some advice on what I'm doing.

I've attached a couple of photos, sorry they are pretty poor, I can take some more if it will help. Also, why are there electrical cables attached to the pipes? I also have one attached to a radiator in my bathroom.

Any help and advice will be very much appreciated.

They are just earthing cables fitted to the pipework for safety just leave them.

You should be able to turn the bath without a problem providing you can still get enough drop on the bath waste to run away.
