fixing acrylic bath into cradle

[encino_]

Bump!

I have a Decina square spa bath with feet, there's probably about 12 or so underneath, and the bath is 1400mm square. It's been installed in a frame on yellow tongue. No tiles around as yet, just cement sheet, and the carpenter put packers around to space for tile.

Question is, with the feet, so I still need to mortar around it somehow? Or should it be fine?
Also, I'd be worried about wet mortar on the yellow tongue anyway... the expanding foam idea sounded good!

Check with the manufacturer, the feet are likely to be designed to be the sole load-bearers.
Although the foam sounds like an attractive idea, it voids many manufacturers warranties.

Wife talked me into getting a proper licensed plumber to install the bath in our ensuite that we were building. Got home from work just in time to see the plumber pocketing the cash my wife had paid him and pick up the last of his tools ready to go. As I stood looking at the bath which was supported by half a tomato stake that he had found in the back yard I said "There's nothing to attach the tiles to". "That's the tilers job mate, not mine" was the reply". I counted to 10 then thought to myself LIVE AND LEARN. Pity this forum hadn't been around then.
