A bathing enclosure, comprising:

• a multi-piece plumbing fixture wall structure having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion having walls with edges which can be substantially aligned with opposed edges of walls of the second portion so as to define a seam;

• the slots being formed so as to run along the strip;
• one of said joining strips being affixed to the first wall structure portion and the other of said joining strips being affixed to the second wall structure portion, said strips being both affixed adjacent said seam such that the slots face each other so as to define a tubular internal hollow;
• a plurality of locator members selectively positionable inside the hollow so as to assist alignment between the first and second portions;
• a clamp member for fastening together the first and second enclosure portions by abutting against the clamp abutment surfaces;
• and
• wherein an inward wall of a joining strip extends above, or below one of said bulges to form at least one attachment extension that is suitable to assist in attaching a joining strip on the external side of the wall structure.
