Mum hopes to pull plug on tiny bath in contest

TAKING a bath at the end of a long day is one of life’s little luxuries.

Unless your bath is just three feet long and feels more like a sink.

And one owner of a tiny bath is so desperate to stretch her legs in the tub that she’s hoping her bathroom will be crowned Britain’s worst.

“I know there may be some bathrooms in complete disarray,” said Carly Roach, 30, who lives in the house with her six-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son.

“Mine isn’t that, however. What my bathroom is to me is a logistical nightmare. My bath, according to most of my friends, is a three foot-long ‘sink.’”

She adds: “My son is a growing lad and isn’t fitting in it for long. I’m only five foot but I still have to lay with my feet up to wash my hair.

“The shower isn’t the best and the shower curtain keeps dropping.

“A new bathroom would mean that myself and the children would for once, in the four years being here, have a relaxing bath.”

Carly, from Taffs Well, wants to experience a relaxing soak so has entered the MyBuilder’s Britain’s Worst Bathroom competition – where, if successful, she could see her bathroom transformed.

The competition is being run by MyBuilder.com, an online marketplace where homeowners can find high quality tradesmen, which has teamed up with VictoriaPlum.com to find the worst bathroom in the country.

It’s being put to an online vote and the bathroom deemed to be the worst will win a bathroom transformation with a value of up to £2,000 – including VictoriaPlum.com products and a MyBuilder tradesperson to complete the work.

More than 400 homeowners from all over the UK have already entered, telling MyBuilder what winning the prize would mean to them. Members of the public have already cast more than 11,000 votes.

And Carly faces competition from people around Wales for the title of Britain’s Worst Bathroom.

There are a number of Welsh hopefuls, including Dafydd Anthony from Neath, Emma Priest from Pontypool, Georgia Day from Ammanford and Rebecca Bailey from Wrexham.
