Help & advice
Baths and showers are accountable for the highest water consumption in the home - effecting your power and heating bills as well as water usage.
Selecting the right type of bath is an important decision that can significantly impact the overall look and functionality of your bathroom. Two popular options to consider are freestanding baths and built–in baths. Each has its own set of pros and cons.
Freestanding baths are standalone fixtures that are not attached to any walls or platforms. They often come with a decorative base or feet, providing an elegant and luxurious appearance.
Pros:
Cons:
For traditional or “claw foot” freestanding baths, all of your pipes are exposed, so you’re unlikely to want them to be white plastic.
You'll need an exposed bath overflow pipe, "p–trap" and p–trap connection pipe, and potentially a floor mounted tap column (depending on your choice of taps). Who knew!
Freestanding baths, best for larger bathrooms and for those that love to soak for hours in the tub!
Built-in baths, also known as alcove, recessed baths, inset baths or standard baths, are designed to fit into a specific space against one or more walls.
Pros:
Cons:
Built in baths, best for smaller bathrooms, lower budgets and those with children or generally more people needing to get in and out in the mornings!
