Hi,
We're in the process of installing a new, first floor, bathroom. We bought a bath and a panel online and have run into an issue, and I just wanted to question the advice we have received.
The bath sits 535mm high and the bath panel (longest side required only) is 510mm high, which leaves a 25mm shortfall.
Once the tiled floor is in this will reduce the shortfall to 12mm.
We are advised, by the bath and panel suppliers, that this gap is because we have mounted the pairs of feet at either end of the bath on a 25mm, load-spreading, plinth - with the feet supplied with the bath set to the lowest height they can go to.
Is the advice not to use a plinth correct? The solution for us at the moment is to replace the panel, but I'm slightly concerned as to the advice given.
TIA
