Bath mistake

We have a bath with a plug in the centre.
I do have to press quite firmly to release the mechanism when I’ve finished bathing. I do have a mat in the bath, I slipped once and cracked a rib, I don’t want to do that again!
Maybe there is something that needs adjusting in your plug?

We made the mistake of buying a larger bath. The grandchildren love it because it is so roomy but The trouble is that you can never fill it up with hot water as it cools down before it is full enough to lie in (by the way, I shower anyway. It’s my daughter who complains).

Well water should never run out wherever you plug hole is situated so you have a faulty bath
Isn’t it uncomfortable lying on a plug

Sorry, my post there sounded snippy. didn't mean to.

Should the bath not be fit for purpose?
If the water runs out so readily perhaps the supplier needs to replace it with a bath that works....or a fitting that works.

Just use a bath mat, take out wipe down when not in use.
You'll still have the style of the bath and not be uncomfortable when bathing.
The other option is to replace the bath.

Oh dear, could you put some sort of comfy shower mat over the plug?

If the plug is placed centrally, very hard to avoid it. Just shows how careful you have to be when buying stylish things!?

I am sure you will get used to it and sit/ lie slightly differently to avoid the plug

It will have been designed for looks not practicality! I have had this debate with DD2s partner, a builder Jack of all Trades. His work always looks stunning and is of good quality but is full of practical conundrums!
