Bit embarrasing but here goes...

Basicaly im a fat bastard and weigh 25st

Just had a new large Acrylic bath 1800x900 with amazonite coating fitted to downstairs (solid floor) bathroom.

The bath looks solid but the frame seems a bit flimsy, two metal strips across bottom of bath with four thinish metal screws fitted into the floor.

I stood in in before to shower and it creaked a little but was fine, but i was scared of lying down in a bath full of heavy water incase the legs bent or broke.

Is there anything I can do to give the bath some extra support?

My Dad suggested putting some bricks under the bath?Is this a good idea, or has anyone got a better one.

Thanks Ste.
