Steel Bath fixing

[pr4vst3r]

Hi guys,

Got a steel bath with feet that do not have screw holes to secure the feet to the base boards. Bath is currently on wooden batton framework but can still feel lateral movement due to the feet not being secured. There are no other brackets or fixings that were supplied with the bath or any point on the bath to attach said fixings. Whats the best way to secure the bath to the wall/battons for zero movement? (Was thinking gripfix adhesive to wall and batton) Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Prav

Is it not possible to drill fixing holes in the feet?
I screwed my steel bath to floor solid as a rock, (even two up )

 

[pr4vst3r]

unfortunately not. Screwing the feet to the floor would be my first choice as well but the feet are small ... no where to drill a hole in them. Any more suggestions?

If the bath will be panelled in, you could make a clamp bracket

Grip fill is good..long as you get the solvent type

Clamp bracket?

Looks like grip fill it is then!

I've found when taking out baths old plumber has surrounded feet with bonding, it did the job.
