Thanks to modern material technology freestanding baths are now available in a wide range of designs and sizes, allowing many more people the opportunity to incorporate a freestanding bath into their dream bathroom design. For an insight into achieving this dream.

The Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association (KBSA) has this advice:

  1. Space is not an issue. Freestanding baths can be built into one wall or even into a corner, to slot neatly into a modest bathroom or even an en-suite.
  2. Traditional freestanding baths are made from cast iron, a very heavy material which is not easy to fit.  Modern varieties are made from much lighter and more flexible acrylic.
  3. Acrylic baths retain the water temperature for longer than cast iron and any size or shape bath can be designed and manufactured in both traditional and contemporary styles.
  4. A traditional freestanding bath, such as the slipper-style bath of Victorian times is one option for a period home. Experiment with different feet and taps to ensure the perfect finishing touches to your bathroom.
  5. Another traditional option is the boat-style bath which has a wonderfully elegant to-the-floor design, creating a real wow factor in the bathroom.
  6. For an ultra cool, contemporary bathroom you could choose a much more angular shaped bath, or a modern style slipper bath that has the same shaped tub but can be a to-the-floor model.
  7. Some freestanding baths are even available with wooden cradles which add a quirky twist and provide shelving space for candles, toiletries or even towels.
  8. If you do have the space, a freestanding bath can create a stunning focal point if placed in the centre of a bathroom.
  9. For a ‘bath and more’ you can go for additional features in your freestanding bath such as whirlpools for that luxury spa bathing experience.
