After serious thinking wrote :
My bath rim will be supported on a wooden batten fixed to the wall, to
avoid movement of the tile/bath seal etc. I want to come up with a way
of fixing the rim to the batten from below (i.e. under the bath), but
of course the body of the bath is in the way, so you cannot see or
access the area to screw / bolt etc. I don't want to fix the bath to
the wall using metal brackets, it has to be hard down to the batten.
Any clever ideas ?
TIA,
Simon.


Cut the top of the batten at an angle, such that the lip of the bath is
drawn against the wall as it is lowered. To fix it, cut vertical slots
for the fixings and use screws plus washers. Leave the screws
sufficiently loose that the weight of the bath can push it down, then
temporarily fit the bath in place. Remove without disturbing the
batten, then fully tighten the screws and perhaps add more fixings.
