bathtub

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'container to wash in' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'club raised objection installing hot' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'bat' (as in sporting equipment).
'raised' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'objection' becomes 'but' (as in 'no ifs, no buts').
'installing' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'but' back-to-front is 'tub'.
'bat'+'tub'='battub'
'battub' placed around 'h' is 'BATHTUB'.
