Baths – Buying Guide & FAQs

Choosing the Right Bath for Your Bathroom

A bath is often the focal point of a bathroom, combining comfort, style, and practicality. Our range of baths includes options to suit bathrooms of all sizes, from compact spaces to luxury family bathrooms.

Whether you are renovating a main bathroom, en-suite, or cloakroom, choosing the right bath depends on available space, bathing needs, and design preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of baths are available?

We offer a wide selection of baths, including:

• Straight baths

• Single Ended Baths

• Double Ended Baths

• Shower baths

• Freestanding baths

• Steel Baths

Each type is designed to suit different bathroom layouts and lifestyles.

What is the best bath for a small bathroom?

Straight baths and shower baths are ideal for smaller bathrooms as they maximise space while still offering comfortable bathing. Compact bath sizes are also available for tighter layouts.

What is a shower bath?

A shower bath is designed to be used for both bathing and showering. It typically features a wider end for added shower space, making it a practical choice for family bathrooms. Discover our collection of Shower Baths baths - Bathcenter Shower Baths

Are freestanding baths practical?

Freestanding baths create a luxury statement and are ideal for larger bathrooms. They require more space around them but offer a striking focal point and a more spacious bathing experience. Discover our collection of freestanding baths -  Bathcenter Freestanding Baths

What materials are baths made from?

Most modern baths are made from high-quality acrylic, which is durable, lightweight, and retains heat well. Acrylic baths are easy to clean and suitable for everyday use. We also supply an extensive Steel Bath collection.

Do baths come in standard sizes?

Many baths are available in standard sizes, such as 1700mm x 700mm, but a range of sizes is available to suit different spaces. Always check the product dimensions before purchasing. The 1675mm bath is one of our most popular sizes. It originates from an older imperial measurement and was widely used in earlier new-build homes, where baths were designed to fit neatly between two walls. View our 1675mm single ended bath information.

Do baths include panels and waste?

Some baths are sold separately from panels and waste fittings. Please check individual product descriptions to see what is included or what accessories may be required. At checkout, most baths will prompt you to add a bath waste & bath panel. Choose from pop-up, clicker, or plug and chain options so you have everything you need in one order.

Our top Bath Panel recommendation is the NEW waterproof bath panel — available in a range of sizes and stylish colours. It's quite simply the best straight bath panel on the market.
