Bathroom with Book an Showroom Button On
Whether you are a plumbing contractor outfitting a new residential build or a homeowner upgrading a family washroom, choosing the right bath dictates the footprint and functionality of the space. We stock a comprehensive array of single-ended, double-ended, and dedicated shower baths in both P-shape and L-shape configurations. Our inventory includes lightweight, thermally efficient acrylic models that are easy to manoeuvre on site, alongside highly durable porcelain-enamelled steel baths that offer exceptional scratch resistance. For the installer, many of our acrylic tubs are supplied undrilled, providing the flexibility to position bath fillers or shower mixers exactly where required based on existing pipe routing. Supported by fully adjustable steel cradle legs and reinforced encapsulation boards, these units guarantee a rigid, flex-free finish once sealed against the tiled substrate. Read our frequently asked questions below to find out more about specifying and installing the correct bath for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an acrylic and a steel bath?
Acrylic baths are lightweight, warm to the touch, and naturally retain water heat for longer periods. This makes them much easier for a single tradesperson to carry and install, while remaining highly efficient for the homeowner. Steel baths, coated in a tough porcelain enamel, are significantly heavier and colder initially, but they offer unmatched durability against heavy impacts, chemical staining, and UV discolouration, making them an excellent choice for high-traffic households or commercial environments.
When should a shower bath be specified over a standard single-ended model?
Shower baths are specifically designed for properties that lack the square footage for a separate shower tray and enclosure. Available in P-shaped or L-shaped designs, they feature a widened footprint at one end to provide the user with ample standing room while showering. For the installer, these models are designed to be paired with matching curved or angled glass screens, ensuring a watertight showering zone without compromising the structural integrity or comfort of a full-length tub.
Do freestanding baths require special structural support?
Freestanding baths, particularly those manufactured from cast iron or thick double-skinned stone resin, are exceptionally heavy even before they are filled with water and an occupant. When installing these premium tubs on a standard timber suspended floor, tradespeople must often reinforce the existing floor joists with thick marine plywood to safely support the concentrated point load of the bath feet. Furthermore, plumbing a freestanding unit typically requires routing the primary waste trap and hot and cold supply pipes entirely under the floorboards, demanding precise first-fix planning.
