Bathtub or no bathtub

Comments (13)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!

Comments (6)Bathroom renos can be daunting as there are many things to consider and usually the space can be limiting. Free standing baths are stunning and come in many shapes and sizes. You have mentioned that you and the boys will use the bath, ensure you factor in the "users" height as this will determine the bath size and depth. Firstly is the plumbing remaining in the same position? Floor mounted bath mixers can be installed with a concealed under floor box or the above floor connection method. The concealed box method is advisable before the flooring is installed, and has the benefit of a lower profile floor plate, which is preferred. The above floor method may be done where the first approach is not possible. Free standing bath mixers visually create an impact when paired with the freestanding tub, ensure you have enough room around the tub as it will be difficult to clean if it sits too close to walls and or vanities etc..many freestanding bath mixers offer functional hand showers as well as the spout, ideal for washing soap out of kids hair. Would love to see a lay out of your bathroom to assist with tap ware placement. Good luck with your bathroom renovations, always happy to assist you.

Comments (14)The gap is definitely driving me crazy, we’ve only moved in since March so been lots of pondering, including changing it all, but unfortunately the next room over is our third bedroom. But you have given me an idea there is a cupboard in the front of this bathroom and could knock down the wall so maybe the bathtub could actually get a bigger spot after all and get rid of the front cupboard / wall and then change where the door is....See More- 6 years ago

But either way you would have a glass panel to let light back into the room, but if you don't have a need it could just be a tiled wall with a glass door or not.

6 years ago@jo west this is my bathroom, which is not the world's largest. I have fitted everything in, including a free standing bath. My toilet is tucked in between the bath & chimney breast, the fireplace which now serves as additional storage (cupboard built separately by kitchen & bathroom cabinet makers & inserted in).

Thank you all. We ended up switching laundry and bathroom around & ended up with a bit more bathroom space - its about 4m x 1.8 - here is end result - think I will be very happy with this...
