    Hi.
    I'm looking for some help.
    We bought a bath off done deal that did not have the brackets/legs underneath it and we can't seem to get them anywhere.
    Anybody any ideas?
    We've tried plumbing supplies shops, woodies, home base etc.
    Thanks

    Is it light steel or a really heavy cast iron bath?

    Those are fairly common. I'd imagine their easy to find

    The plumbing supplies we went to said they had them as part of a set(including bath and all) and said he couldn't sell them separately. Any other hardware we tried looked at us as if we had 2 heads! Suppose I'll just have to keep looking around!

    Nobody showed me anything unfortunately so I've no idea what I'm even really meant to be looking for! :-)

    I might try that first link you posted if I can't get them anywhere local over the next few days!
    Thanks so much for that!

    Yep, you can build a box frame and sit the bath into that. Make up a dry concrete mix and pour it on a plastic sheet under the bath to add support for the tub itself. Fill bath with water to account for water and body mass, and let set.

    The metal brackets aren't the most complicated thing in the world though. Ten minutes with some box iron and a welder would sort out your needs.
