Fitting a bath in a Ford Fiesta
Will a standard 1700mm x 700mm bath fit in a small hatchback (Fiesta).
Length is OK. I have had 1700mm timbers in the past. Otherwise, any plumbing suppliers in N.England who can deliver before 11 AM weekday or at weekend? Thanks Bruce |

I would think that most merchants could deliver before 11 am if you tell them you want an early delivery. Owain Do places like Plumb Center deliver at a specified time? Or can you recommend any nationwide companies or web sites to use? Thanks Bruce |

Otherwise, any plumbing suppliers in N.England who can deliver before 11 AM weekday or at weekend? Thanks Bruce Any plumber's merchant will deliver before 11am given a couple of days notice. Most do saturday morning deliveries. If you get a B+Q trade card, they'll do the same. I had an 1800 x 800 bath in a VW polo, so a 1700 x 700 might fit in a fiesta. Had to take the front seat out of the car to do it though, so delivery might be easier. Recommendations would be easier with a more precise location. A |

Can you recommend any plumbers merchants that can I could order a bath from for delivery a few days later? Thanks Bruce |

Thanks Bruce Plumb Centre as you yourself suggested or Screwfix? I suppose it rather depends whether they have the bath you want in stock face it sooner or later you will need to pick up the phone and actually talk to some one Tony |

I managed get a bath with the legs on to fit in a Vauxhall Cavalier and shut the hatch. A tight squeeze but it fitted. Adam |

No need for a roofrack, just sit it on something to stop it scratching the roof and tie securely in all directions with the doors open. Close doors on the ropes. NT |

They'll schedule a delivery to suit. Make sure you negotiate a decent price - they sometimes start off a bit high! A |
