How deep is the bath cut into the lath and plaster stud work

 

[mikethetile]

what length is the bath wall

 

[Colour Republic]

It must come out, or are you saying this bath is original? i.e has been there as long as the lath and plaster?

 

[Scott]

Im confused, if your going to strip it all out joists and all why does that present a problem with the bath?

 

[doug boardley]

a jemmy bar to rip off the lath and plaster springs to mind.

what i meen is the bath that is in there now is cut in too the two end walls 2ins both ends so what im saying is can i just get a smaller bath or do i have to go down the road of cutting it in to the walls iv priced it so i make money not spend too much out the bath set i want too get is the B&Q set think its bathroom suite to go £200 or so the white set and the problem i have is the floor and joists need replacing
so there is no bog think ill need to get a porter loow for a day or two :incazzato::incazzato:
the flat is a tip and stinks :mad2:

 

[mikethetile]

we dont know if you can get a bath to fit as you havent yet given us the length of the bath wall:mad2:

 

[White Room]

It must be a standard 1.70m bath, think you can get a 1.50m but not from the sheds though

 

[Scott]

Go to a plumbers merchants, they all sell a 'budget suite' but it wont be the cheap tat you can get from the sheds. They are suppling plumbers so cant afford to sell them poor quality goods. They will also be able to get the size you want from 1700, 1650 etc down to 1500
