Depends on how far you go back...



Generally they will fit - assuming the new bath has holes at all - many

you need to drill yourself.



You may find some sufficiently old Victorian cast iron baths which will

need a bit of filing to get modern taps on.

I have a bath! It has separate hot and cold taps and I want to replace them with a mixer tap and shower attachment for when I come out of hospital in Jan/Feb (on waiting list for heart op). It's the closest I can get to a proper shower, as I won't be allowed to have a bath until at least 10 days after the op. I've since found a couple of YouTube vids that explain the installation of the mixer tap very well, using flexible braided hoses. It should be a piece of cake, provided the existing tap holes marry up to the new mixer tap. The standard plastic bath (with grab handles each side) was fitted approx 9 years ago when the house was built.
