installing island bath
We are installing an island bath - the bath base is 200mm above concrete floor due to plumbing of old bath raised well above floor. The acrylic bath installation notes say to lay bath on mortar bed - any suggestions for alternatives cos that's an awful lot of mortar!!!

Have you got more than I set of instructions, i.e. different base configurations?

island bath
What about roughly laying some old bricks to form a base about 160mm thick then you would only end up with about 40mm of mortar under the bottom of the bath?

Not sure I understand the problem fully but why can't you modify/cut down the plumbing to accommodate the bath at floor level? An island bath 200mm off the floor is going to be pretty hard to get in and out of I would imagine.

The bricks sound like a good idea juan. The waste hole is in the centre of bath and the waste outlet is up one end - had to join them together with pipe and bends - so we can't make it any closer to the ground. So with the mortar - do you surround the pipes and everything? So timber support frames not cut it? Is that not strong enough?
