How to Install a Bath

A bath is a great way to relax and unwind after a long day. But if your old bath is looking tired or you're simply looking for a change, you may be considering installing a new one.

Please view our site Bathcenter.co.uk to see your options.

Installing a bath can be done by an installer or as a DIY project, but it's important to do your research and follow the instructions carefully. Here are the basic steps involved in installing a bath:

1. Plan your installation. Before you start, measure the space where you want to install the bath and make sure it's the right size. You'll also need to decide where you want the taps and overflow drain to go.
2. Remove the old bath. If you're replacing an old bath, you'll need to remove it first. This may involve disconnecting the plumbing and draining the water.
3. Prepare the subfloor. The subfloor should be level and smooth. If it's not, you'll need to level it before installing the bath.
4. Install the bath. Follow the instructions that came with your bath to install it in the correct location.  Always ensure it is level and sealed in correctly to avoid leaks.
5. Connect the plumbing. Connect the bath to the plumbing lines for the water supply and drain.
6. Install the taps and overflow drain. Follow the instructions that came with your taps and overflow drain to install them.
7. Test the bath. Once the bath is installed, test it to make sure it's working properly.
