Yeah its a great design and really maximises bath space in our fairly small bathroom... it seems a bit "cheap and nasty" tho, but I'm not sure what other baths are like.

More swearing today.... I even head butted a tile out of frustration.  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

Ohh.. and then dropped my iphone and put a small crack in the screen!  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

Cheers mate.  :happy2:

Few more from today.. its really taking much longer than we though with the tiling!



Bath in and secured.... well, as secure as we could make it.





And the injury from the aforementioned "Tile + head" incident!!
