I am about to get a new bath but wanted to do the tiling,less the tile
immediately above the bath,before fitting the new bath .

What's troubling me is the height of any new bath I buy .The one I have is about
540mm off the floor and is about it's maximum adjustment .Plumbworld specs say
"adjustable between 480-540mm" .

This company say all their baths are 570mm and when I phoned them they confirmed
( after he said that was bath top to waste bottom which I questioned) that this
was off the floor .The tech drawing they have on the site does sugegst it is
bath top to waste which is misleading .

Is there a standard height for standard rectangular baths .??

Maybe I'll just get the bath fitted first and be careful,very careful when
tiling .

Check that bath panel before you do anything. Often bath panels are
made oversize so that you can cut them down a bit even when the bath
is at its limit of adjustment. There are other factors to consider i.e
will the waste fit? does the waste pipe fall away and drain ok?. I am
an advocate of marking up accurately the bath position then tiling
first and fitting the bath last. I find it produces a better quality
job. As with all jobs though,plan and measure meticulously and mark
out accurately. Its ok to put wooden blocks under the bath legs rahter
than have them at their fullest extend of adjustment !
