Can you get European-style mini bathtubs in Australia?
Comments (7)I live in the country and am completely reliant on tank water. I also have a grey water recycling system and can tell how much water has gone through it at any one time as the filters need to be cleaned after so many litres of water go through them. I can almost guarantee that the bath with a couple of grand kids splashing about for twenty minutes having fun will use less water than any of their parents showering does. Even topping it up with more hot water if needed. Unless you are very conservative with your showers baths are not that bad and the value they add to the resale of the average home outweighs any downside. I definately wouldn't buy a house without one. I have had a house that has a bath the size of the shower though, about 1m x 1m by maybe 40cm deep and I think it was called a hip bath. My sister in law has one at her house, she got it from Lanark, as her house only had a shower which is not practical and it was the cheaper option than redoing the whole bathroom. I dont know if that is what you are after or not....See MoreTiled bath tub?
Comments (2)I love these Roman/Asian style baths, My favourite but I would make the front side high and wide enough to sit on and use this to get in and out of the bath, the wall side make flush to save space. Mosaic tiles for the tub and perhaps back wall. Not necessary for sloping ends. Great safe baths for showers as well, love it Use a shower curtain...See MoreBath tub tapware - freestanding vs in wall spout
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 (4)We have decided on having a bath. Just trying to find the narrowest one for the space. We may sell in 5 years, or we may be there 20 years. No timeframe on selling....See More- 5 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.

5 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...
