Platform to stand on in small bathroom.

[Fekin]

Im doing a bathroom with hign celings, and basically when stood on my step ladders right next to the bath I can only just reach across the width of the bath to place the top tile in the corner of the front of the bath wall, was hard work but did it, though how Im going to grout and Silicon up there is a whole other matter :huh2:

What would you suggest using to place across the bath to stand on.

Something that would take 18stone of pure man :lol: , while obviously I would pad under it, but what would you use.

Bath board (18mm ply) and a folding platform from wickes works for me.

so you board across the bath then stand on your platform?
have i got that right?
be a nice change from praying while hanging off the top of the ladder

Yeah, looks like the best thing for me would be to lay thick ply across the bath and stand on that.

Correct. Though usually just standing on the bathboard is high enough.

No, as there is very little floor space and can only just get my step ladders around the room, the floor space is only 2sqm.

Always used to use 18mm ply cut to bath board size one with side taps cut out and one with end taps cut out. I used to glue anti slip rubber to the bottom and use it as a work platform and table. saved loads of cleaning up in the bath and loads of room to work.

Kev, That's exactly what I use. Works a treat & saves a lot of cleaning up and possible damage to the bath.

Glad to see your still about after your 'ban' from the other place (wink wink)
