FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the bath?
The bath measures 1700mm in length and 700mm in width. Specific height details will depend on the leg set adjustment.
Does the bath come with taps?
No, this is a bath set that includes the bath, leg set, shower screen, and waste. Taps are sold separately.
Can I install this bath myself?
While the bath is designed with features like predrilled holes and a leg set for easier installation, it is highly recommended to have a qualified plumber or installer handle the final plumbing connections to ensure a safe and watertight setup.
What material is the shower screen made of?
The shower screen typically features toughened glass for safety, with an abstract black frame.
Is the shower screen reversible?
The design of the abstract frame suggests a specific orientation, but it's best to consult the installation manual for confirmation on reversible fitting options.
What type of waste fitting is included?
A chrome-finished waste fitting is included, designed for standard bath drain connections.
How do I clean the black frame of the shower screen?
Clean the black frame with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching or damage to the finish.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling around the bath during shower use
Ensure the shower screen is properly sealed against the bath edge and that the bath's slope towards the waste is correct. Check for any damage to the screen or seals.
Slow water drainage from the bath
Check the chrome waste for any blockages. The waste trap may need to be cleaned of hair or soap scum. Ensure the waste pipe is not obstructed.
Taps are difficult to fit into predrilled holes
Verify that the taps being installed are compatible with the hole size. If the holes are slightly too small, a professional may be able to carefully enlarge them, or an adapter may be required.
Bath appears unstable
Re-check the leg set adjustment to ensure all legs are firmly on the ground and the bath is level. Ensure the bath is adequately supported by the floor and walls if additional bracing is used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Balterley shower bath set is designed with ease of installation in mind. It includes a leg set for stable positioning and predrilled tap holes, which simplifies the process of attaching your chosen taps. Ensure the floor is level and capable of supporting the weight of the bath when filled. It is recommended to have the plumbing connections, including waste and water supply, handled by a qualified professional to ensure a watertight and compliant installation.
Compatibility: This bath is compatible with standard bathroom plumbing systems. The predrilled holes are typically designed for common tap sizes. The included chrome waste fits standard bath drains. Ensure your chosen taps and any additional fixtures are compatible with the bath's dimensions and predrilled hole locations.
Care: To maintain the bath's appearance and longevity, clean regularly with a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads, which can damage the surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth. The shower screen should be cleaned with a glass cleaner suitable for shower enclosures.
