A relaxing soak and a glass of fine wine, name a better duo – I’ll wait. Whether you’re Team Bath or Team Shower, there’s no denying a bubbly bath oozes a sense of calm and tranquillity.

While a ‘standard’ bath measures 170cm (or 1700mm as you’ll often see on descriptions) in length, these handy designs come in different shapes. They range from contemporary and round to traditional and double-ended, in 1300mm or 1500mm. In addition, they usually weigh less than the classic large freestanding models. This makes it easier to include one in your new design as a result.
