Yep, if you are going to fit a new waste.....the rose will just spin inside the bath anyway, and they can be dead awkward to hold.
Did this have the copper trap, originally?

Yes it's a copper trap.. all copper.
Anywhere i can get.. 40mm compression copper tees as picture below
Is it a better idea to renew the entire waste, including the overflow, in plastic? I guess there was a copper trap somewhere here, with the nut at the bottom to let the crap out.....takes me back, those!

Can i cut using this (as picture)? i use it to cut slap/patio.
A bit hefty for the job mate as you don't want to score the bath underside.....a grit wheel is really what you want - that one is for masonry.
No chance of getting a hacksaw in at an angle?

Drill the nut with a drill the same width, then use a heavy screwdriver, cold chisel, to snap the nut off ... easy peasy ... lemon stuff 
I bet he's as sick as a bloody chip after this one

Should have got Tony to do it for £84.
WEll done, though. These jobs are a real pain. Some go easier than expected, but can be extraordinarily expensive if paying by the clock. I would never take them in these days.
BTW How do you change the taps on the modern ones where the taps are in the centre of the length of the bath?

The only way to make money on those Fireman is to run a bloody mile and let some other mug do it

It fits the modern mixer.
Now need to look for the PVC drain trap, which join to a 40mm copper and the end of copper is squeeze/shrink.
