A skilled do-it-yourselfer can also install bathtubs, but it is very complex. A local specialist company is therefore recommended in this case. The bathroom planning alone is very time-consuming, In addition, bathtubs can be accommodated in a wide variety of ways - free-standing, as a corner- or wall-mounted bathtub. The material for the bathtub also needs to be well chosen. Whichever shape you choose, the bathtubs are available in steel, Acrylic or quaryl. Careful planning of bathtubs is essential, especially in a small bathroom. Before the tub you need about 90 cm free space, this must be taken into account when choosing the bathtub.
When the bathroom is very small, a wall-mounted bathtub or a very space-saving corner model is usually chosen. Of course, bathtubs can be as high quality as anything, Whirlpools with a sophisticated bubble system are usually built into a luxurious bathroom. When a bathtub is newly installed, After removing the old tub, the floor must first be prepared, this work alone is relatively complex. The floor must be level, any old mortar residue could affect the installation of a new tub support. Who is not careful here, builds twice in the end. The walls also need a waterproof protective coating. After this has dried, the walls must be checked for watertightness, especially in the area of the inlet- and drain pipes. Only then can the installation begin.
The installation of bathtubs This begins with the bathtub support, in which a recess is cut, into which the water drain comes. Here you have to measure very precisely, it is about the distance between the wall and the drainpipe entrance into the tub. After the tub support has been set up, it is checked, it must be absolutely level. If that is not the case, place small wooden wedges under it. The outlines of the girder are then drawn precisely on the floor, then the drain pipes are installed. A greased extension pipe is inserted into the wall up to the stop inside the drain pipe, Frame foam is applied to the surfaces of the underside under the tub support and the tub support is placed on the drawn outline, what only works for two. It has to be checked again, whether the tub support is horizontal.
It is then weighted down for gluing, after the glue has hardened, the tub is used. Here, too, you initially bring overflow- and drain connections, whereby the seals and sieves have to be processed very carefully. The overflow valve must also be attached, a pipe has to be cut to size. After frame foam has been applied to the tub support, the tub can be used. Again, two people are required for this. After the tub has been inserted, it is tiled. This is a job in itself, because the tub has to hold the tiles, until they are glued. It is also important to pay attention to it, that tiles can be removed from a bathtub, in case there is a pipe failure. The installation of bathtubs is very complicated and requires the greatest care. A skilled craft company does this work to your complete satisfaction, without having to deal with leaks in your bathtub.
