Choosing a new bath

Bath considerations

When selecting a new bath, give consideration to the spacial requirements as well as the plumbing. Mark out the position on the floor. Is there enough room for you to get in and out? Is there enough room for the door to open and close without having to do a jig to get in or out of the room? Is there enough room to stand and dry yourself after bathing?

Types of bath

The type of bath you choose will depend on personal preference, but it needs to be functional as well. There are a huge number of styles available as well as different materials and qualities:

Corner, Freestanding, Sunken.

Bath taps and waste

You will also have a decision to make on the style and type of taps to buy.

Always check that they will fit the tap holes of the bath.

The waste for the bath is usually supplied as part of the kit.
