Evening gents, I went to a job where a freestanding bath was pishing water out whenever used, I was expecting a clawfoot bath or slipper or something similar but it was one of those with built in sides like an all in one unit with the only access being from underneath.
What a stupid idea they are...
Anyway I lifted it up enough to disconnect the flexi waste and put it on its' side and it looks like the waste was never tightened even though there was a sticker next to it saying 'This waste is only in place to avoid loss and needs to be professionally re-installed before use' or something similar. So got my plumbers mait out and re-did the waste and no more leaks.
Thing is, the bath wasn't fixed to the floor, the customer even said they're scared to move in it when using it incase it topples over. But because of the design I couldn't think of a way to secure it to the floor.
There's only a 1/2 inch gap round the bottom so wouldn't be able to use screws through the feet like a standard bath as no access.
How do you secure these buggers?
