Fitting a bath in a Ford Fiesta

Will a standard 1700mm x 700mm bath fit in a small hatchback (Fiesta). Length is OK. I have had 1700mm timbers in the past.

Otherwise, any plumbing suppliers in N.England who can deliver before

11 AM weekday or at weekend? Thanks

(Fiesta).

before

You might have problems getting long enough flexible tap tails to drive any distance and use it

Some hire firms will hire a van by the hour

Man and van businesses will often do small local deliveries

You could heat the water with the exhaust heat. Seriously, dont you think putting it on the roof would be more practical?

Not if it fits in the car for a 1 mile journey. And I don't have a roof rack, anyway. Anyone tried this?

Possibly, but there won't be much headroom for a shower :-)

I would think that most merchants could deliver before 11 am if you tell them you want an early delivery.

Wait for the next downpour, put the plug in, and row it home.

Do places like Plumb Center deliver at a specified time? Or can you recommend any nationwide companies or web sites to use?

Thanks Bruce

Probably, but why would you want to?

Surely there are better places to have your bathroom?

Is this on a building notice, or a full plans application?

A tape measure would be even cheaper.

I don't think *specified* time, but they are used to delivering early to building sites, in fact by 11am most drivers would want to be back at the depot for their elevenses.

Any plumber's merchant will deliver before 11am given a couple of days notice. Most do saturday morning deliveries. If you get a B+Q trade card, they'll do the same.

I had an 1800 x 800 bath in a VW polo, so a 1700 x 700 might fit in a fiesta. Had to take the front seat out of the car to do it though, so delivery might be easier.

Recommendations would be easier with a more precise location.

Depending on where in the country he is, that may actually be a plausible solution!

West Yorks area. Can you recommend any plumbers merchants that can I could order a bath from for delivery a few days later? Thanks Bruce

Plumb Centre as you yourself suggested or Screwfix?

I suppose it rather depends whether they have the bath you want in stock

face it sooner or later you will need to pick up the phone and actually talk to some one
