Do you ahve recent photos of your bath yet? Very curious how its turned out.
Ive got a mate thats just installed a japanese dunking bath or something. But its not being sunk into the ground so im curious how its going to look.

This is from about a week and a half ago. In this picture it has most of the cement board lining (which has rigid insulation bricks behind) and the slot drain installed. There are also little pipes coming in at the bottom for filling it (these will be hidden underneath the bench, it will fill from the bottom) and what you can't see is that underneath the base in the screed is an electric heated floor mat which will be controlled by a thermostat on the wall just outside the bathroom.
As you can see at this point it still needed one piece of cement board putting in. The white plastic circle sticking out on that side of the bath is the control for the drain so we can empty it. They only come in silver and we hate all silver shiny bathroom things so we're planning to get it powder coated, probably black and probably at Armourtex as it's literally round the corner!
So once all of the cement board is in (I actually don't know if it is right now, the whole bath is temporarily covered up with big pieces of insulation so I couldn't actually show it to @tommmmmmm on Monday night) it just needs the micro cement (think a very thin layer of something that will look like polished concrete) layer applying. Colour will probably be Pizarra on this page:

As the forum is forcing me to write another post, here's a picture of the water tank that now lives in the cellar (some making good to do around there as you can see, but the 'hole' it lives in is actually very neat). Can hold 300 litres at 70 degrees, so plenty to fill the bath with.

Good work! That was much faster than I expected. Now what are you going to do with the rest of half term?
I'm embarrassed about how long I took to do ours now...
