  • 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.
