Beginners guide to freestanding baths 2021

Freestanding baths (also known as freestanding tubs) are becoming increasingly popular in the UK. These standalone baths are growing in popularity due to their flexibility in being placed in a room and their elegance and traditional looks. There are several different freestanding baths, which you can buy. You should consider the style and size of the room, the available space and the bathroom or ensuite design you have in mind.

Freestanding baths are luxury items that are available in a wide variety of styles and materials. These baths can feature sleek lines or bold wall jets and can be made from a wide range of materials, including acrylic, cast iron, steel, and even stone. But with so many choices, how do you decide which bath to buy? Here are a few things to consideror or you can hire an expert:

1. Installation:

The freestanding bath is the perfect alternative to a tub and shower combination for people who want to have easy access to a tub for soaking or just plain old relaxing. While you can get a tub and shower combination that works well in small bathrooms, these combo units tend to be less expensive than a freestanding tub on its own.

A freestanding bath is an excellent option for a smaller bathroom, as long as you don't mind the extra work it requires. Compared to a standard bath, a freestanding bath sits on the floor instead of being built-in. This means you will need to create a new bathroom floor to install it. Therefore, when installing a freestanding bath, the most important thing to consider is the floor.

2. Price:

The price of a freestanding bath (including installation) can vary greatly depending on your location. Still, the average cost for a freestanding bath is around £1000. The price usually depends on the size of the tub, where you live, and the materials used to make the bath.

3. Material:

A freestanding bath, or stand up bath, is a bath that doesn't have a plinth or a base to sit on. These baths are becoming more and more popular, with many people now looking to add a modern stand up the tub to a bathroom with a classic bath. The two main types of freestanding baths are acrylic baths and steel baths.
