Bath foot cement or glue?

[Gragson]

I'm a showerer so didn't see this coming, inside foot came away, I've bolted it back up and made a new rubber cup for the bolt head in the foot so thats all tight and snug now. But the whole bath & feet do shift a bit on the tiles and with the other halfs big xxxx in it (I'm safe she does not know what a mig is) I fear that it will shift again and disturb the pipework.

I don't need a lot, what type of cement / glue would secure around the edge of the feet to the tiles?
What was holding them before worked for a while but as things get heavier....slimer wife is not an immediate option.

a decent double sided tape will do the job.......spose Gorrila do something......
a lot of big machines in industry are now taped to the floor....no need for Rawlbolts most of the time....

Are the feet hollow on the inside? If so, a stainless screw or coach bolt. I have had good luck with Stixall from EverBuild. It's a silicone version of GripFill.

id go both ways doulde sided tape cut very near the feet then a good size bead all the way round the feet with a good silcone once gone off just climing in the bath should see you alright for quite a few years

the hard bit will be the clean up first if not nice and clean the tape will not stick well and you might make the problem worse

and youed better hope your other half dont see this post

The weigh of the water & the person in it will be considerable causing the legs to flex and then creep when they get out & pull the plug . Most enclosed baths have an adjustable support or two along the middle of the bath to stop it flexing when loaded up . Have you thought about making a light thin ply frame that goes from the floor to the material of the bath , screw it together , drill a couple of holes in it and squirt in a couple of cans of decent water proof expanding foam leave the frame in place & paint it so that when expanded & cured the bath is fully supported by the foam over a larger area .

If you think the idea is a goer .. it might be an idea not to fill the bath with cold water before you foam it , for doing it that way the bath will be in it's lowest position & the legs already well spread . .
