Missing Bath Legs

drummer_666

Hello,

I have this second hand but brand new bath, but there's no legs.
I presume I can secure a wooden frame to the black plastic bits.
Does anyone have any idea what legs I can buy to use and how I'd attach them?

Thank you

Make a frame, it'll be far more secure but if not,
you can purchase 'legs' from B &
Q
Bath Legs...

Hello,

Thanks, yes I'm going to make a frame

But will it not need legs under the actual bit that I'd be standing on / laying on?

There are lots of youtube videos - this may give you an idea of what people mean by 'frame'.

The legs screw to the bottom of the bath , look at the black lines at either end in between the 2 black lines are 3 small pilot holes for the screws

I had no idea baths had legs.... another thing to worry about as I lay in the bath .... "is this all about to fall over...?"

Looking at them, I'd prefer to have four big round "bungs" of thick rubber for it to sit on ....

PS did anyone else read it as 'Missing Both Legs'? I did wonder what sort of story we were gonna get...!

So really I do need to buy those linked to at B&Q or similar and screw in there? I presumed the black lines were probably an indicator. Any idea what length screw I'll need, I don't want to go too far!

And then make my frame as standard

thank you

Yes I did - was expecting some horrendous DIY experience.
I really must get new glasses....

But rubber bungs would be springy, and baths, especially plastic ones, have enough trouble staying rigid enough so that the integrity of the sealant around them isn't lost when loaded/unloaded.

Personally, I'd buy a steel bath.... I did when I last bought one two years ago. But if I say that, people will start saying they're cold, boring, can't easily get it upstairs, etc etc. .....so I won't.
