    There is a deposit retained from them, but I wouldn't want to use that, as if I spend that, then I won't have a deposit for when they leave, should it be necessary.

    Surely you couldn't use it without their permission anyway.

    It might not have been your finest hour but it surely must have been one of your most heroic ones.

    FireWyrm: I do not remember that. Must be getting senile. Was that in January 2011 or a few days ago as in "January this year"?

    January 2011 but I only mentioned it in general on the Housing Forum in relation to getting a S21 etc.

    Indeed - I smell BS

    Hmm may be the tenants had more than one person in the bath at one time causing extra stress and breaking it. ;-)

    However, when I tried to claim on our insurance, we were told that it was classed as 'fixtures and fittings' so our insurance wouldn't pay, since you cannot insure what you don't own.

    What insurance provider did you have? All contents policies i looked at included coverage for glass and sanitary. Did you have accidental damage on contents?

    How easy or difficult is it to "fall over and crack the bath?" I've never heard of such a thing.

    is the shower tray the bit you stand on?
    she fell through it?
    through the ceiling?
