Bath Buying Guide

Bath selection starts with the room, access path and plumbing—not only the bath's external size. Compare installation style, usable internal space and the fittings needed to complete the setup.

Choose the right type

• Freestanding baths are visually open and need finished flooring plus suitable waste access.
• Back-to-wall and corner baths reduce cleaning gaps and can use space efficiently.
• Built-in, spa and specialised soaking baths need more planning for framing, services and maintenance access.

Measure before you order

Record the finished dimensions and compare them with the product drawing. Check:

• Available floor area and comfortable circulation around the bath
• Doorways, hallways and stair access for delivery
• Waste position and access beneath or behind the bath
• Bath height, internal length and entry clearance

Check compatibility and inclusions

• Check whether the waste, overflow and fixings are included
• Choose wall-, floor- or hob-mounted tapware with suitable reach
• Confirm filled weight and floor support with the project team
• Plan service access before tiling or closing walls

Product inclusions and installation requirements vary. Use the individual product page and supplied documentation as the final reference. If information is missing, contact our team before ordering.

Care and maintenance

Use non-abrasive cleaners recommended for the bath material. Rinse away residue and avoid placing metal tools or harsh chemicals directly on the surface.

Frequently asked questions

Is the listed bath size the usable bathing space?

Usually it is the external size. Compare the internal dimensions and profile as well.

Can a freestanding bath sit against a wall?

Only if its shape and installation instructions allow the required clearance and access.

Does the bath come with tapware?

Usually tapware is selected separately. Check the product inclusions before ordering.
