Is there a generally accepted height to set top of bath rim?

[Draughtsman]

I bought a new bath & screen but without a bath panel, although the panel is listed on the manufacturers website as 550 height, this doesn't say top of bath is 550 off floor, or where this dim comes from..

Manufacturer won't give further info..

The 550mm height is the height of the panel itself so it allows the bath to be anything up to 550mm in height, under the rim normally. The height though is usually dictated by how the waste is to be accessed. Even then though it's up to you, a lot of people just make up a homemade panel so the bath can be any height.

Normally though it would be anywhere between 500mm > 540mm
