Total waste of underfloor heating too! I considered trying to keep it intact when the tiles came up so easily but it was never going to happen!

The bathbox had been built from 2x2" and 2x1" and pinned down, not fixed to either wall in any way. I had to rip it out and replace with 3x2" with hardi backer, doesn't move a millimetre now!!
