Default Moving a cast iron bath

OK chaps...

I hve a cast iron bath to move from an outhouse, to a first floor
bathroom. Having carried it once from trailer to outhouse, with a
neighbour's help, I'm aware of how unbelieveably heavy it is.

It needs to go up a flight of stairs with 3 winders at the bottom. The
stairs are newly fitted, and have newel bottoms but no balustrade.
They are stained and varnished and need not to be dinged or chipped.

There is nothing available upstairs to attach a block and tackle
to ;-)

Other than brute force, can anyone suggest techniques for getting it
up there without damage to stairs, bath or workforce?


Cheers
Richard
