Hi My friend wants me to help them replace their bath and he has already bought the new acrylic bath but I notice it seems to have little plywood type blocks fitted under the rim all round about an inch thick or more and they seem really strong, ie it felt like I may damage the bath if I tried to remove it.

As far as I am aware you need to fit a frame up under the bath rim so what should you do about these blocks?

Is there a way to remove them somehow?

Are they there for a reason?

If we only make a frame that fits up to the blocks (there are 3 on each side) then obviously there will be no support offered between blocks, can anybody explain to me what we should do regarding these blocks?

Any advice or help appreciated.

Is there a small gap between the block and the lip? There should be. This is were the top edge of the front and side panels locate.
