You will need to construct a simple wooden framework with upright struts under the outside edge and at each corner of your bath.
Use magnetic catches on the back of the panel and on the framework as this will create an invisible fixing method which can still give you easy access to the plumbing should a problem occur.

Original acrylic sheet thicknesses are commonly quoted as 8mm or 5mm.

The minimum and maximum height for Acrylic Baths is determined by the bath panels. You can fix your panel and plinth between 460mm and 575mm.

Cast Iron Baths

The key to getting a good fit here is to not over-tighten the feet. First, turn the bath upside down (you'll need some help to do this, the bath is extremely heavy!) and attach the feet by matching up the letter on the feet to the corresponding lug on the bath. Tighten the nut and bolt by hand and then turn the bath the right way up. Push down on the bath and shake it gently to help it find its own level and once you're happy it is level, tighten the nuts fully using an adjustable spanner. Don't worry if there's a small gap between the bath and the top of the feet - if you try and tighten it any more and bring the two together, you may end up making your bath wobbly.

The outside of your cast iron bath is black and rough to begin with, but can have a smart and elegant appearance with a bit of preparation… sand the outside to make it smooth and then use either an oil-based primer followed by the emulsion colour of your choice, or an oil-based paint on its own. Provided that the first coat is oil-based, your bath should not show signs of aging (rusty colouration) through the paint and will have a durable surface to which paint can safely adhere. You should do the same for the unpainted cast iron feet.
Please note that Nationwide Bathrooms does not provide a bath painting service.

There are several inherent characteristics to the traditional production process of manufacturing cast iron baths… these are ripples, dimples and tiny black specs in the enamel surface. These features are quite normal and will not affect the life of the bath - they are just part of what makes a cast iron bath a cast iron bath!

Furniture

Firstly you need to obtain the correct fixings for the type of wall - Heritage do not supply fixings with any furniture unit - and simply screw through the back of the unit. We suggest that you drill any holes in line with the shelf studs so that when the shelves are in place, all your fixings are hidden from view.

Doors and drawers on all the furniture units are semi-drilled to allow you to fit your choice of handle - either 'traditional', in chrome, gold or nickel, or 'contemporary' in chrome, or 'deco' in chrome. Single door cabinets are supplied with the door loose so that you can easily decide which way you want it to open. Please make sure you specify the type and finish you require at the time of ordering.

All the hinges on Heritage cabinets are fully adjustable to allow for any minor discrepancies.

Taps & Mixers

Standard tap valves can start to leak should the rubber washer become worn. This can be easily sorted out by replacing the washer.
If the taps are ceramic disc, then the entire valve will need replacing.

One of the typical characteristics of manufacturing 'traditional' cast taps is that the inside of the spout will be rough, rather than finished.
This means that when you turn off the tap, a small reservoir of water is left inside the spout, which will slowly "find its way" through the contours of the cast before dropping into the basin. This can take a "short while", but is perfectly normal.

This depends on the tap range you choose, but is typically a minimum of 0.1 bar (1 metre head) for a screw-down (rubber washer) tap valve and 0.3 bar (3 metre head) for ceramic disc valves, although the Ravoque range will need higher pressure. It's best to seek professional advice before making your purchase.

All brassware should be cleaned with warm soapy water and buffed up to shine with a soft dry cloth. Avoid using any abrasive or acidic cleaners as this may damage the product.
Regular cleaning after use will keep your taps looking good.

Water Hammer is the result of high water pressure causing vibration on the pipes and can be reduced by the installation of a pressure reducing valve. Be sure to check that your pipes aren't loose as this may also be a cause.
