I need a bath 1650mm long 1700 is too long for the space available and 1600 leaves a larger space than I need, any ideas as to a manufacturer who does this size, or should I consider a paint job for the existing 1650 one Thanks E

Can you really not hack out 1" of plaster on each end wall?

You have 3 choices:
1) paint the old one, which, lets face it, will look like an old painted bath.2) buy a 1700 and cut out 25 mm of wall at each end.
3) buy a 1650 and put a 50mm timber along the farthest end from the taps and tile over.Number 3 would be my choice if No 2 was imposible

Keep looking, I found one which fitted exactly between my walls.
Agreed, that's what I did. One plus point - you won't ever get water getting past the sealant at the ends.
Knock down the wall and move it 50mm :)

Thats what I did ! Well almost, moved it about 8 inches, but someone came round and said "you knocked down a wall and moved it that far ?". Thing is, a full size 1700 bath now fits (which improves saleability - yes it really does !), and some dead space on the landing has been used. And it gave me space to insulate the solid walls.

What's the exact space you have? Some '1700' baths are actually 1685, so you might have space for that, possibly with a small amount of plaster removal.
