freestanding bath?

4 years ago

Hi have an question how much room should you leave around a free standing bath? the inside measurement between the two walls is 1810, should I have a 1500 or a 1600 bath?

a 1500 free standing bath only leave 150mm on either end so barely enough space to stretch an arm to the floor and not enough space to reach around the back of the bath to clean or rescue lost soap etc..whereas 1800 is enough to fit a generous built in bath with a sit down ledge all around

The door into ensuite currently opens in (hinged on left). Im thinking we will need to use a cavity slider door (which means shifting the bedroom light switches!) This project is growing!

Do you want this to be a big reno? meaning, will you replace things totally or do you want to work with what you have mostly? will you add a toilet to the bathroom? if you replace the vanity, you can put in a larger one curving around the corner with a medicine cabinet above. If you replace the shower with one flat on the ground, you can also put in clear doors for bigger visual space. how about re-painting as well

I agree with emily. if you want leave connections and/or a little extra room for what you don't want, but feel you may need for resale. I think the tub is a pretty important item. wet room not at all, and shower is give or take. i would prefer a big shower and a tub for soaking in, but I have always had the combo. I remember my mom built during big wet bar craze, she did not care for one. had space built, capped off connections and use as a closet. Now it is 35 years later, everyone wants to buy and tear down. Darned if you do, darned if you don't. i agree, I would also really like the separate toilet, we are not share everything people.

I can't help but wonder how a freestanding bath looks after a year or two of trying to clean behind and under them. Also we have large trees and a lot of spiders. They often hang out in the bathroom. Nuff said!

Hi R J,

We would recommend a back to wall freestanding bath in this situation. The space is too cramped if you install an 1800mm bathtub and doesn't leave any room for unpredictable complications (eg. tile errors). A 1700 bath is a generous enough size for the space and will simplify cleaning as it's quite enclose and your soap can sit comfortably on the edge. You can find our range here.
