I want an acrylic bath with the overflow hole in a non-standard location. Since it appears I cannot purchase a bath without a pre-drilled overflow (at least not without a bespoke pricey item), what is the method to fill in an existing hole, and finish the surface so that it is undetectable ? Cheers, Simon.
AFAIK you can't, whatever you fill it with will be visible. Why can't the overflow stay in it's 'normal' position? - th pipe from it can go virtually anywhere you like....as long as it's not uphill!
It would be quite a feat to do an invisible job of filling the hole not least in matching the colour. Why don't you have 2 nice chrome (or gold?) overflow ports, with one blanked off at the back?
Not DIY but something was dropped into my bath and it found a fault in the moulding where the surface was like egg-shell. It was repaired by a company specialising in such repairs. Not cheap and not totally invisible but a pretty good colour match, as opposed to a new bath.

Have you contacted manufacturers, such as Ideal Standard, or Twyford's, to see what they say, rather than a retailer? This might be worth a try.
Hm. I should thing the old "if you can't hide it, make it into a feature" adage will apply here.
That's definitely the ideal one if it's possible and it should be. Great Usenet innit?
And again in English this time.
There was only one letter out of place, even you could work it out George.
The message from "Phil L" contains these words:
You could always put a decorative sticker over it - provided you can find something that isn't totally naff.

Or fit a GU10 lamp into the hole.
Stick one of those new "bath filler" jobbies in it and do away with the need for taps!
Buy an Ideal Idealcast. no cutout make your own.
The message from Frank Erskine contains these words:
To improve navel comtemplation? I s'pose, being in the bath that should be naval.
Then he'd have the tap holes to fill !

Last plastic bath I fitted you needed to drill the tap holes yourself!
