canalsiderenovation Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Me and the OH just browsing through bathroom catalogues. Freestanding baths and those floor taps is apparently what she wants. Just thinking how you would you go about fitting them floor taps in a bungalow with UFH (existing floors will be excavated up)? I've a feeling this is mega £. My friend has a fancy one but there bath is upstairs so all pipework under floorboards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If the bath is going near a wall perhaps persuade her to go for walk mounted taps and spout ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Saw a really nice one where they created a plinth for the taps to sit on - basically mounted them in a box and went sideways into the wall for the water. Looked nice and you couldn’t tell it was a “fudge” Other option is to set a piece of Polystyrene in the floor where they will be going against the wall, then chop it out, fit the pipe work and then backfill with rapid set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, one to consider. I need to work on the wall mounted tap option and how it would work with a slipper style bath. I prefer the idea of wall mounted taps anyway, better for cleaning.

You don't get water running down all over the body of the tap and evaporating. Easier to vacuum/mop the floor etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
