Done up like a kipper

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

yea i got it after typing...you tilers are fortunate..us multi-trades have to take toilets out and what we find in the pipe aint pleasant !

I know what you mean Ian, years ago before site portaloos we had to work over toilets that had been used by every trade on the site, before they were plumbed in, not nice. Back to the thread, I have been lucky over the years and not had many damaged baths/basins etc.

That could be the kiss of death, I will probably drop my lump hammer through the fancy whirlpool bath tomorrow.:yikes:

Just to add - Once the bath has been fitted there was no comeback with supplier, but who takes the wrap off before tiling?

Me. Every time, without fail... The amount of times i've taken the wrap off to find a scratch underneath. Once you've fitted the legs, it's down to you. I for one, don't want to pay for a replacement bath! And lets be honest, that film offers zero protection.

 

[afright]

I always check baths before starting the job,if there is something there always point it out

I always unwrap them and give them a once over before I put the waste and taps on then bath fitted, dpm laid over the edges right to the wall and over the overhang outside the bath, bathboard on top then pull the bathboard away enough to get the cuts to the bath in and wedged up 3mm from the bath, after all laid and grouted bath board off, pull the dpm out and Silicon

That's how I do it now..................after dropping a tile in a bath 😳

You should always check baths shower trays before you start but if it's a acrylic bath and it's not to deep you can file and sand then t cut and polish chips out
