HOW TO FIX A BATH TO A WALL AND SCREW THE FEET DOWN.

How to screw a bath to a wall screw the feet down. You HAVE to watch the previous video in the bathroom series to be able to get to this stage - and understand why it's so easy!

Today I'm going to show you how to install your bath to the wall, using the battens we fixed in earlier videos. We use glue these days because it's far stronger than the old angle clips you used to get for fising the bath. I'm then going to show you how we fix the feet down at the right level and how we drill through a floor tile. Perfect for the do it yourself bathroom refurb and the DIY bathroom restoration hero!

Excellent video and commentary. This is exactly how l have always install a bath but l also cut a slight bevel on the top of the batten like a French cleat to insure that the bath is pulled in against the wall while the silicone is curing Keep up the good work and stay safe.

Well I’m not a plumber OK, I have jus fitted our new bath with this guys instructions etc. It got the wife’s blessing 😅. Thanks for a great video 👍🏻 and it saved me paying for a plumber 👍🏻

I love watching how much satisfaction you get from doing a good job. Shame all the good plumbers and fitters are on YouTube instead of doing jobs for me 😂

[ywqbttt]

Great glue advise. I used to give my self bruised ribs trying to screw up through my supporting wood into to what wood strengtheners came fitted to the bath lips

[damiendemon]

Hahahah love the song at the end! Thanks for all the great videos and advice.

So glad you mentioned that filling a bath with water before siliconiong in isnt really a thing anymore if the bath is fitted correctly and framed.
The amount of people i get on my videos saying "You havent filled it up before siliconing" its fitted right with a solid bath its not an issue

Good Sunday morning to you sir and your family

[CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

Thank you. Wow this channel has grown.

Awesome video man!! I’ve just come out my time at college as a pipefitter but love learning more bout the trades, just wondering when you lifted the bath into place would a suction cup benefit?L if you get me? Love the video and tips you give 🙏🙌🏻

[echojohnson]

Awesome video! When are you going to post the rest? I'm dying to see it!! :)

[darrenkarp]

Fabulous video. Thanks. What brand of bath is that?

[RubberduckbathroomsCoUk]

I noticed you have not used a upstand seal like a classiseal (oviously because you tiled first before fitting the bath), but what are your thoughts on these kind of seals?

[neilmccartney]

Great video it's amazing to see how others do things, I'm always worried about leaks after and always say classic seal and tanking kit, but this is very good way to do it if the customer won't pay for them. Thanks James great video as usual, also the wife is so patient, I'd only get 2 days to do that work 🤣🤣 and that's sfter being at work that Fridays 😆😆🔧🔧

[MrJcollins]

Overkill.. I love it. I do the same especially in my own house 🤝

[TATEMANTRA]

The larger leg supports that hold the bath up, have you got a link for them ?

[takleteck]

Thanks. I couldn't actually find the link to the specific glue to use, and it was not in the 35 amazon items on the link. I'm doing this job tomorrow, so what glue would you suggest that I can collect from toolstation, screwfix, wickes please?

[robloseby]

James doe this means the Mrs will be getting her bathroom for Christmas!

[hresuggan]

Great video 👍🏻 One question - my bath feet/cradle broke removing it and the new (double ended) bath doesn't have a cradle / feet - are universal ones ok?

[theforkieman]

Great video yet again like all the others. Would you recommend putting timber across the floor under legs if going onto floorboards though to spread the load. Looking good by the way ( the bathroom i meant lol )

How do you cut an acrylic tub to shower?
