(do we need a bathroom section here?)
OK, so planning for the bath in the new bathroom (which I keep posting about!). Although I am still trying to decide how to board the room for tiling, need to plan the bath at the same time.
So, do all baths need a wooden frame, or are some OK without one?
Just been looking at this: https://ukbathroomguru.com/correctly-installing-a-bath/
If a frame, what height should it be fitted? Maybe baths come with instructions? But I'd need to build frame before buying the bath as I have nowhere to store it ...
rather than a frame, can you just put one big bit of timber on the wall, secured in several points? e.g a bit of 38 X 89mm studwork along the wall?
If you get a good solid bath, can you just use one of these on the room side edge:

or is that only needed if you want to board and tile the edge of the bath? I see that some baths come with brackets for the rear wall - is this standard on all baths?
This is where the bath will be going:
