    I didn't get any brackets, the bath once leveled is very sturdy. It has a steel frame with 6 adjustable feet. Will I still need brackets?
    Got a make and model and/or online instructions?

    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

    You dont really need them, but you will need to secure the bath to the wall. Being a new house no doubt you will be having to fasten it to a plasterboard wall. Its hard to tell without seeing the bath but a couple of battans one in each corner will do. Secure the batten (peice of wood) to a stud at the bottom and make sure the wood is hooked under the lip of the bath at the top, put another screw nearer the top and tighten is up, this will secure the bath to the wall better than brackets.

    I like manufacturer's instructions, 'cos if I do it they way they say, then I can blame them when it doesn't work :D

    Last corner bath I fitted required horizontal battens both sides along the walls....:confused:
