Do pre-drilled steel baths exist?

I am in the market for a new bathroom suite, and have been recommended Kaldewei and Bette over and over by various people. However, I have an issue in that it appears that none of their baths are pre-drilled... and I wouldn't want to place the risk on my fitter of having to drill them!
Because of the style of my bathroom, wall-mounted taps are not an option (nor are freestanding).
I have looked at acrylic baths and would consider a suitably thick and sturdy one.
Can anyone recommend where I can find pre-drilled steel baths, or a good make of thick and sturdy acrylic ones?

This is a standard steel bath, 1700 long and is pre-drilled. That's a good price too!0 -
Kaldewei are excellent steel baths. I bought a pre-drilled one from a retailer on Ebay before Christmas. It was £40 cheaper than anywhere else I could find.
Make sure you get the right feet kit, and budget for the drain kit and handles if required.0 -
Thank you - I knew that they must exist somewhere.
I originally started out looking for P-shaped showerbaths, then looked at the Bette Ocean, before moving on to the dual-ended baths with the centre waste (in the Kaldewei range) - eg the Duos.
If I could pick any of those up predrilled then I know what taps I can buy - I'm leaving my tap purchase until after I've bought the bath!0 -
Hi
All Bette and Kaldewei baths can be ordered with tap holes,you just have to ask.
If you want a monoblock bath mixer then you will have to order a bath with one hole, and specify which corner you want it in (or any other position) You might wait up to 6 weeks for a non standard hole position.
An enamelled pressed steel bath cannot be drilled DIY after purchase.
