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.




Cheers Ed,
forgot to add that the bath she most likes is a double ended one (fairly
large) which tends to suggest 5mm is not up to the job.

Bit confused about what you meant above
Bad 5mm - 6mm - 7mm - 8mm good.

does this mean all but 8mm are bad or is 7mm ok too ?
