Default baths

I've bought a cheap and cheerful bath suite from Screwfix. It doesn't
come with any instructions. I'm a bit unsure about the bath. It is an
enamelled bath made by Kaldewei. Plumbing the taps and wastes is easy
enough but what about fixing it?


I always screw battens to the wall to support the side and end - only a
thin batten or couple of blocks for the tap end so as not to obstruct
the tap fixings. I seal the bath to the wall before tiling.

It comes with four legs. Are these enough? It seems pretty stable on
them but if you sit on the rim to dry your feet, it does seem to lift.


You can arrange blocks and screws to hold the wall edge down but with the
silicone, and tiling overlapping the bath edge, it should be OK once this
is done.
