Hi folks,
in renovations following a burst pipe, the bath has just been replaced in its old spot (well, the new shower enclosure is 30cm wider so it is a foot to one side of its old spot). They had to put the bath's feet on bricks so they could attach the waste - so the whole is now at least 7cm higher than it used to be. The top of the bath is about 600mm above the floor. 
This looks high to me. Advice online says 510mm plus or minus 10mm
DH is 60, I'm 55, we expect to be here for 15- 20 years. I think we're fine now but do you think we will regret having such a high bath?
Fixing it isn't easy but we just want back what we had. Plumber says the fall was wrong before (it worked fine) and he has put it back as it should be. There's not much flexibility as it is a concrete floor. The pipes track about 11 feet round the bathroom with a gentle slope, before going down and out of the house.
AIBU to insist they find a way to lower the bath? I honestly can't see how without ripping out the brick platform they put the shower tray on, because it's solid and that is where the waste pipe used to run. Even then there wouldn't be a huge fall. (But it always worked before).
The builder and plumber just say it has to be like this, to get the fall on the pipe.
