Modern Baths !

I had the same problem in my old house in Ainsdale. It was one of those Lion claw cast iron baths almost 2m long. It took an age to fill and being cast iron it lost heat quickly. I put it in the classified ads in Country Living for £1000 and it sold the first day the magazine came out. It took 6 men to get it out of the house. If I had 30 of them I could have sold them all. The phone didnt stop ringing for weeks.

A grand for an old bath, reminds me of this.

I don't think mine was worth that much,well I hope not because I had to whack it with a sledge hammer to reduce it to managable sized bits.
It was un-feasibly heavy as a single unit.
Some bright spark suggested I climb inside the upturned bath and get it down stairs like a tortoise.

I was doing some work in a bathroom in the summer, they had fitted a 1800mm bath. One end was recessed into the wall. It took a couple of takes to realise that the inner skin of the cavity wall had been removed to accommodate the bath!

Not in Staines was it?

We took our bath out in the late nineties and put a shower box in. Big shower head and loads of hot water from the combi. Sometimes it's my favourite part of the day. I have a bath when I'm away on holiday sometimes.

Corner baths are quite roomy. They are deep at least. The water would cover your legs hondated, unless you`re on a water meter The square end away from the taps is like a boat

We have a Victorian-style freestanding bath in one bathroom. The trouble is that it has been very badly re-enamelled (not proper enamel, but the DIY substitute). My research indicates that a second attempt at re-enamelling is a no-no, so we're sort-of looking for a replacement. Getting a new one up two flights of stairs, the second with a double-bend at the top, could be a challenge.

I like baths. I'd hate to make my friends homeless.

I had a car site there, I was asking as my mate did the same to his house in Staines.
