Hello

Custard wants their bath out so can retile behind it then put back.

They said when it went it the plumb fitted 2 or 3 l shaped brackets along the long side & 2 on the short side by taps. Then tiled over them.

So, I think it's a case of removing a line of tiles, finding the brackets & cutting/unscrewing them.

I can't get to them otherwise. Any thoughts?

Thx, Rct

not a good idea to tile then fit the bath, It won't seal proper, better to fit bath and seal to wall with silicone then lay tiles on top of bath lip, then the water will not run behind, the brackets are only flimsy and fixed to the bath with a little screw, so when you pull the bath from the wall, drop a bolster chisel down between the bath and wall where the brackets are and twat it with a hammer, the bracket will come off the bath,
