Defo don't scrimp on bath reinforcement.
4 years on our bath (beefier bath base than average) has developed an annoying creek, only way to fix is to pull all the tiles on front cover off again.
We built the hell out of it, so I'm figuring the actual joist or floorboard has sagged a bit allowing some movement somewhere.Compared to a bellway home, its utterly rock solid and a normal person wouldn't notice it. But OCD creak finder here, found the creek and now I can't stop noticing it!

Ours, a 3 piece acrylic surround unit, was nicely placed in position and filled with water. Contractor then went downstairs, poked a few holes in the floor under where the bath was and pushed expanding foam in until all the space was taken - been solid ever since.

Apparently there was a mix up, I was certain the plumbers said they'd be back after tiling, and that bath fitting (bar water connections) was on me as they're not 'doing' the bathroom.
They came round this morning to fit everything properly and connected the taps/waste too, just in time for the tilers to start this afternoon - finally feels like something's going right here!
Suppose this shouldn't really be in 'Home DIY' after all..!

I get you - thanks!
It came with L-brackets to attach to the wall - but sounds like a belt and braces approach is worthwhile, especially as it’s a big tub (1800x800) - so will add some more support.
Appreciate the pointers as ever!
