Fair enough, guess we can all only go on our own experiences. 
Wooden floorboards, agreed never had an issue, just a couple with bowing on older boards. Only seen breakthrough on chipboard and only when it got damp, so I always advise better safe than sorry now.

Fair point,the only time I add timber or support to a bath is to gain height. Each to their own experience,not criticizing any views.
Indeed Jack and always open to different people's experiences that's for sure, it's how we all learn after all IMO.
