Fixing bath to wall - Plumbing Forum | Plumbers Forums

Chris R · 25-07-2008

Has anyone come across a fixing for baths ? At the moment I rely on improvising with metal strips etc to fasten the bath to the wall. I have often wondered if anyone makes a specific fitting - any ideas

I clamp the rim back to the wall with a couple of lengths of 2x1, about 18" long, under the rim and down the wall then plug and screw to the wall, pulls it in a treat. try and get one at each corner, can be a tricky reach but worth doing, usually get a load of gripfill in there as well.

what do you want gripfill for ? so it can never be taken out or breaks the bath or pulls half the plaster off

No, so that the cheap plastic baths that people insist on getting from the DIY sheds have a chance of staying put. I'd rather do that than use an angle bracket up behind the tiles which dont actually seem to do much. However you clamp a bath they always have a bit of give right in the corners, gripfill will stop that and its no big deal to replace a bit of plaster when you replace a bath, i'd rather that than a bath thats forever moving.
