Slipper baths...

[iSelfBuild]

Has anyone any experience of these? They look pretty comfy and I want to fit something a bit special in our bathroom.

I'm on a budget and I have found this online - http://bathsupermarket.com/bow-freestanding-bath-including-feet does it sound too cheap?

I know I need to get the taps and waste separately but it looks a good deal.

This is the plan for the bathroom:

My local budget bathroom place has an identical bath for 500 squids...but says it's 5mm thick instead of the 12mm from your guys.

Where is the door in that picture..?

just wondering about layout !

The door is to the right of the toilet. This is how the bathroom is currently laid out, there was a big cupboard where I have shown the shower but I ripped that out today 

Annoyingly the toilet waste goes out through the corner of the rear bedroom - I'm going to try and sort that out!

I think I'll jump on the deal - just applied for the trade account. Apparently you get 10% discount but I'm more interested in the Saturday delivery option.

No chance of putting the loo in the top left corner and the sink behind the door and boxing in..?

I actually quite like the layout as is. I have just ordered from http://bathsupermarket.com/ 

They gave me 10% trade discount and free Saturday delivery, apparently the delivery drivers will deliver it into a room of your choice. It is almost too good to be true!

Then they go and spoil it all and offer 20% off over the bank holiday. I have gone from feeling delighted with the price to slightly peed off with my timing. That's another £60 quid I could have saved!

 

It's being delivered today between 10:30 and 2:30 - I even get a tracking link showing live progress. I'll report back later after I check out the items.

Well the couriers phoned me 30 mins before arriving and carried everything in for me, they even suggested I unpack and check everything and were happy to hang around.

Everything looks pretty good, the bath looks very sturdy and the taps impressed the misses. I'll report back when I have fitted it all, probably a month - v slow progress
