How do I decide between a freestanding bath and a back-to-wall bath for my bathroom?

Freestanding baths, such as the Brockland 1600 x 750mm or the Wandsworth 1500 x 725mm, make a striking centrepiece and suit larger rooms where you can view the bath from several angles. Back-to-wall baths, like the Endeavor 1700 x 735mm or Everlast 1600 x 780mm, sit against the wall so they save floor space and work well with bath panels for a neat, built-in look. If you want an eye-catching focal point and have the space, go freestanding; if you need to maximise layout and storage, a back-to-wall model is more practical.

What bath size should I buy to make sure it fits and is comfortable to use?

Measure the clear floor space and compare it to common sizes shown here, which range from compact 1450 x 725mm to larger 1900 x 900mm. A 1600 x 750mm bath is a reliable middle ground for comfort in a typical family bathroom, while a 1500mm bath suits smaller rooms and a 1700–1900mm model is better for a spacious or en suite layout. Also check the width, 700–800mm is comfortable for most adults, so match length and width to the room and how you like to bathe.

What's the difference between single-ended, double-ended and slipper baths, and which should I pick?

Single-ended baths, the Bray 1600 x 780mm, have taps at one end and are good when you need to place the pipework at a single point. Double-ended baths, like the Portland 1900 x 900mm, have a shaped rim at both ends so two people can sit comfortably or you can recline at either end. Slipper baths, such as the Moment Slipper 1600 x 720mm, have a raised back to support you while lounging; pick slipper if you want a more reclined, spa-like posture.

Are there whirlpool baths available and what practical differences should I expect?

Yes, there are whirlpool options included in our range, an 1800 x 800mm bath with 14 jets and a 1700 x 750mm bath with 6 jets, which show that jet count and bath size vary. More jets and a larger bath will give a stronger, more enveloping hydrotherapy experience but typically raise the price and need more regular cleaning around jet outlets. If you want massage-like bathing for relaxation or mild aches, choose a larger model with more jets; if space or budget is tight, a smaller whirlpool with fewer jets still offers a therapeutic boost.

How do I match bath panels and finishes to my chosen bath?

Panels come in sizes and profiles to suit different baths, the White Gloss Bath Panel 1700mm J Shaped Side Acrylic 5mm matches J-shaped baths, and Beauforte side panels are available in 1900 x 560mm or 1500 x 560mm with corresponding end panels at 900 x 560mm or 700 x 560mm. Match the panel length to your bath length and pick a profile (side, end or J-shaped) that fits the bath shape; acrylic panels are low maintenance and pair well with gloss white baths for a clean look. If you have a fluted or decorative freestanding bath such as the Caversham, consider a complementary fluted panel or leave the bath exposed to preserve its style.
