A hole saw is all thats needed,put paper tape on the bath first to stop the drill bit sliding and marking the bath.Fred.

Fred as long as it is easy enough to do he can manage I trust him all I got to do now is order the bath and watch as he struggles to get the old one out bathroom is hardly big enough to swing a cat

Dawn, hope I am not interfering, make sure the holesaw is the correct diameter,and that the pilot hole is accurate, else you Will have a big hole to cover up, its probably easier to make slightly small hole fit by filing it, than do a gap filling operation. Bob

Bob Will make sure he makes a smaller hole if he can decide what bath to have and they say women are indecisive
