We are refurbishing our bathroom and my wife fancies a couple
of the baths in Homebase.

they are largeish double ended ones. I think i had heard rumours about the
robustness of 'DIY Shed' baths before with a minimum acceptable thickness.

With this in mind I asked the thinkness of the said bath (antilles) and was
told it was 5mm acryllic.

Is this acceptable or should i stick to a plumbers merchant ? Trouble is
that we have been to a few this is my wifes preferred bath.


thanks in advance

Try a plumbers' merchant - the sort that has bits on the pavement.

Bad 5mm - 6mm - 7mm - 8mm good.

You get what you pay for.
When you go to a shed - you are paying for it to
a) be open longer esp w/e.
b) have nicely laid out displays so you can see what you are getting.
