Get heavy cardboard, and make a fake bath template from a friend’s house, bearing in mind that it also has depth.
Do a "dry-run " to see if it works.

Ask the neighbours how they did (or did not) manage to do it.

You can buy a smaller bath…If you phone around the various Plumb Centres they will tell you where you can get one, and may suggest a decent plumber for you…Good luck..

If you think the bathroom is long enough to take a standard bath then go to some where like B & Q , wickes explain the situation they would give you a refund if it wont fit.

with the bath legs off and no waste pipes connected try standing the bath upright to get it upstairs so long as you have standard width doors 27" wide bathroom, 30" wide other doors i am sure you would more it around your house up to the bathroom area.

I got our bath in a Skoda estate car to bring it home ok.

A standard tub is only 5 feet long, 32" wide, and only 15" high. You’d be surprised what that will fit through. I doubt your stairway is less than 15" wide……
You can also buy a "remodeler" tub surround which comes in 2 or 3 pieces, to get it up and around stairs.

if the space is five feet wide or less you will find that it’s not as great as what you will have to pay to get it done. I had a tub that was about 4′5 and it really is just for a quick splash.
save your money.

A "small" tub measures approximately 66"X36"X22". If you can make up a cardboard box or something of this size you can see if it's possible.

Baths are not necessarily that wide, they usually sit on legs.
As the first person says, ask a local plumber if he’s had this problem before.

Hi visit
http://www.small-baths.com

They do flexible baths easy to move into tight places, yet secure and stable when fitted.

OK good luck.

Have you considered cutting through the roof and then having a velux skylight installed in the hole or simply closing it back up
