I need a bath!!!!!!

[**bustysinclaire**]

I'm begining to get a bit desperate I haven't had a bath for about 2 1/2 years.

anyone got any ideas please.  

I have been searching for something I could use that is portable to put in my wet room so I could have a bath rather than showers.

My hubby needs the wet room so we cannot really change it but I miss my bath.

I have looked at all kinds of ideas, the things on offer are either too big, too flimsy or come from China. None have been suitable to purchase.

I found a portable plastic deep saoking bath but the website it is on doesn't seem to be valid or useable now and the item is from singapore anyway.

If I could buy something in this country it would be great.

I have though founnd this, its a plasterers mixing tub which is plasitc.

What I would like to know if there is anyone who knows what they are like. Would it be possible to put a drainage whole in it some how and if so how? and are these things very hearvy. it is just the right size to fit in the shower part of my wet room.

Any help would be most appreciated.

I don't know what part of the country you're in but have you checked locally for public bathing facilities? I lived in a very poor area of Coventry as a kid where nobody had bathrooms so everyone used the local council wash house, I used it right up until the end of the sixties. They were private cubicles with huge baths, you paid a shilling at the door and joined the queue. The baths were cleaned by staff between users and you could use as much water as you wanted. I know some swimming pools still offer the service, might be worth checking.

Don't tell anyone but the last time I had a bath was around 1995

Some lovely seller said yes to my request of postage. It was kinda like a last chance look before I went to by a tin bath from stourbiridge. just goes to show if you patiently wait you get what you need.

Thank you all so much for your input, most appreciated.
