height of bath

[ron99]

Can anyone tell me what height from the floor the top of the bath should be when fitted.

the floor or walls are not tiled yet, and i want to fit the bath in.

I ask this question so when i come to fit bath panels, which i dont have yet. i dont encounter problems with the height.

20 inch floor to bath rim .. allow extra for floor tiles extra 25 mm ..

My new Liberty bath specifies a floor to top-of-bath height of 545 mm, or about 21.5 inches.

mmm you really need the panel me thinks most of the baths i fit 20 inch .. but by the look of things they differ slightly .. sorry for the duff info .

20 inch...[+].. extra 25 mm ..

still not got a hang of the metric/ imperial thing yet?

Bath heights vary dependent on the bath panel simply measure the intended panel then make the bath the appropriate height.

I am just about to fit a Liberty Bath, and I have just worked out that the thickness of the WBP board + tiles + panel = height to U/S of bath rim. We will soon see whether I am right!!!!

On a different note, Prof Plumb - I am pleased to see you are Leicester based, do you know any good places to get reasonably cheap showers from?? The style I am after is -

but all I seem to find is -

It seems asthough the design I am after starts at about £300, but if I go for the parts it will be as low as £120.

If you can help in any way then please do, I am a little frustrated and almost going to spend more money in bandq!!!

thanks

Tom

Showers in Leicester (Cheap) try somewhere like Best buy on kent street of humberstone road. Dont go to poachins or plumb centre they are very expensive.
