Supporting An Acrylic Bath


Greenside

Recommended Posts

The crew that installed the bath in the house we are living in did a poor job (but in the face of considerable difficulties) and it leaked water underneath that couldn't drain away properly. We recently took in out and made some changes that should solve the problem but putting it back is proving tricky. The issue is that getting the bottom supported just right is very difficult - too high by even a millimeter and we'll get leaks around the edge when showering and too low will probably prove too much for it and one of us will fall through it before too long.

There is 17cm from the floor to the underside of the bath and I originally thought to use some blocks and put mortar in a bag (with some small holes) to contain it on top - the idea being to let it mould itself to the perfect shape.

One of the people building our new house suggested that ready mixed asphalt would be better than mortar. Any thoughts, suggestions welcome!
