Freestanding Baths

Freestanding baths create a luxurious and spacious feel, but getting the proportions right is key. For the best visual impact and practicality, at least 200mm of clearance around the bath is ideal. This ensures it doesn’t feel cramped while also making cleaning easier. If you’re positioning it wall to wall, an 1800mm bath would require a minimum space of 2200mm to maintain the desired aesthetics and accessibility.

Acrylic options are lightweight and budget-friendly, while composite and stone baths offer a more premium, solid feel with excellent heat retention. Pairing them with floor-standing taps enhances the aesthetics, but does involve more precise installation.

Given their size and weight of some baths, a site review is essential to assess suitability for both aesthetics and installation. Factors such as getting the bath up stairs, navigating doorways, and ensuring structural support should be considered. With the right space and planning, a freestanding bath can be the centrepiece of a beautifully designed bathroom.
