I'm with you. I love them and without doubt would have one, if only I had the space. I considered having one recently- we've now got a built in bath. The dust, hair....all I was seeing was big mouldy hair tumble weeds hiding behind the bath!

Thank you all for your comments Have taken it all on board We have the room and it will be placed away from any walls. It has also been factored into the specs of the building plans Thank you again for taking the time to reply

Hi Annie

We get asked about the weight of freestanding baths all the time as people assume they will simply be too heavy to move around for cleaning purposes, which may be the case with a solid stone bath.

To make cleaning manageable, our baths and spas are manufactured using Gelcoat composite construction which is extremely strong yet not overly heavy (5mm thickness to ensure structural rigidity and increased thermal properties).

This allows most people to easily slide the bath out from the wall for easy cleaning access.

I hope that helps with your dilemma!

"as people assume they will simply be too heavy to move around for cleaning purposes"

I assumed the main obstacle to moving a modern bathtub is that it's attached to the drain?

Yes you can not move it too far as it is attached.

Hi guys, an easy solution that we commonly recommend is simply by having a water catchment installed flush into the floor underneath the drain of the bath.
When you release the water it flows directly down into the catchment and it provides the ability to move the bath for cleaning purposes, as it isn't actually connected to any plumbing.
I hope that helps!

Good to know AQVA

We've got one square against the wall and it is a nightmare to clean around.
