Build my own tiled bathtub, waterproofing tricky?

[tekton23]

Hi,

I would like to design and build my own bathtub to fit a specific space in our bathroom. It will be slightly larger than a conventional bathtub and I need to find a economical/safe way of doing this, so that I don’t end up flooding the house!

Could I construct a base form from marine ply (or other material?) then waterproof it, before adding a tiled mosaic finish? Where can I get the drain, tap and overflow fittings?

Thanks

Alex

I have a dim and distant recollection of a bath company that will form an acrylic bath to your design....
