What are the best bathtubs?

There’s no one answer to this question and the best bathtub will depend on the home it’s going into. So what is the best bathtub for your home?

The first thing to consider is the amount of space you have; if you’re looking for practicality or luxury, and what style tub will suit the other fittings you plan to put in the space. From here it’s a little easier to find the best bathtub for your needs!


Freestanding Baths

For those of you who have a little more space to play with and are looking for some added luxury in your home, freestanding baths are the ultimate choice. These style of baths are almost always the hero piece in a bathroom and are made for pure relaxation.

If you’re tight on space and don’t think you can have your baths freestanding, try the back-to-wall freestanding baths that can be installed up against the rear wall.

Shower Baths & Built in Baths

Shower baths are perfectly suited for bathrooms with limited space. Featuring extra-wide widths and more grip in the base, a bathtub shower is ideal for standing and showering at the same time!

These baths will give you the best of both worlds when it comes to choosing between a shower and a bath.

Built-in baths or inset baths are perfect for almost any bathroom renovation design, from minimalist to family functional. Choose from either an island bath, which sits away from the wall in a tiled hob, or a four tile flange bath which is installed right against the wall, with wall tiles covering the edge (flange).

Back to Wall Freestanding Baths

The look of a freestanding bath but it sits flush against the wall.

Back to wall baths are the perfect solution for smaller bathrooms as they do not need as much space around the entirety of the bath. Another perk of these baths, is that there is less cleaning involved behind the bath.

We love the look of this style of bath for its sleek and modern appearance.

Island Baths

A great choice for family bathrooms. The island bath is built into a hub (a tiled island). The bath offers extra room around the bath which is perfect as a sitting ledge when you're bathing the children, or a place to put candles, plants or extra towels.

An island bath is a fantastic option for smaller bathrooms as they offer additional 'bench' space around the rim of the bath - convenient for everyday tasks as well as styling purposes.


Stone Bathtub

A fast-growing trend in the bathroom industry is the stone bathtub. These baths are great for a modern bathroom with their sleek and simple design.

Not only do they have a great look and feel but they're also very durable meaning they will last you a long time. So for those of you building your forever home or wanting to add value to your home, a stone bath is one to consider.
