Hi All

I'm fitting a new bath (standard 1.7m with a straight end (tap end) and
a
sloped end) and shower and have a little question.
If I fit the bath with the tap end against the brick wall, then after
the
cupboards have been fitted it will be tricky to gain access to the taps
for
any maintenance. So I thought I could swap the bath around and have the
'shallow' end against the brick wall and the tap end against our
'cardboard'
wall (stramit : flipin' straw init?). But I'd still like to have the
shower
fixed to the brick wall as it is far far stronger. So, do people
actually do
this, have the shower mounted above the shallow end?
Thanks for any comments.




I prefer to have a shower over the shallow end as the water flows away
from you which tends to leave the bath cleaner.

The only thing to look out for is that there may not be a large enough
level area in which to stand

It was the level standing area that was my prime concern.

Thanks to all for the other points mentioned.
