freestanding bath?
Comments (3)Hi R J, We would recommend a back to wall freestanding bath in this situation. The space is too cramped if you install an 1800mm bathtub and doesn't leave any room for unpredictable complications (eg. tile errors). A 1700 bath is a generous enough size for the space and will simplify cleaning as it's quite enclose and your soap can sit comfortably on the edge. You can find our range here....See MoreShower over Back-to-wall freestanding bath - tile fall and drainage?
Comments (11)Some baths are more suited for shower baths than others. It depends on the flattish standing room at the bottom of the bath. Some baths are quite curvy and narrow. Make sure you stand in a showroom bath to see if it feels too narrow (without your shoes). You will need a four flange bath for tiling and waterproofing in your shower bath scenario. https://specify.caroma.com.au/products/baths/vivas/vivas-1675-anti-slip-bath Best of luck with your planning, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls/Dr Retro Virtual Visits...See MoreGap under Corner Free Standing Bath
Comments (2)Sorry no help here.....Have you used the bath yet? I would be concerned that if the bath is not level on the tiles, that, when full of water, and people, the bath will move off the wall on side and the back. The bathroom looks Interesting, but that small gap between wall and bath, is very troublesome. If you put a shelf there, it will become even harder to clean....See MoreFree standing bath next to shower
Comments (5)@bigreader i'm not a fan of built in or back to wall baths. Functionally i get why they are used but i just don't like the look of them. @Ken Evers Thanks this is what i'm after some practical experience with people who have lived with this setup. As it seems to be a mixed bag, people who has said yes it's an issue but are guessing having no lived in this setup and some people who have lived with it and said not a big issue, but sometimes they are defending their choices lol. The existing bath has a drain that sits close to the wall at the same end as the shower due to the curve of the new bath this could be utilized as it would not be blocked but it would be hidden the idea was to use this as an additional drainage point with no additional plumbing. between the shower / bath section and the rest of the bathroom there will be a floor to ceiling screen approx 1000mm in length, where the current shower is that waste will also be used in addition as this will sit neatly under the floating vanity that's going in. In regards to the tiler i have used him previously and was very happy with his work, that said outside of waterproofing your right, How the water flows is a quick way to kill a good looking bathroom. The biggest concern i had was on the far side of the bath between the wall and long side. So for example against that wall? Idea is to have it slightly raise as per this photo gradient for a lineal drain. A small waste is already in this location so it was going to be used for additional drainage with something like this which is sitting under the floating vanity and in the gap between bath and wall. @Kate Yep there is some compromise we are just trying to determine how much of an issue this is for people who have actually had this layout?...See Moremacyjean
