Big Bathroom Shop has a fabulous collection of baths so you can be sure to find one to suit you perfectly. Baths are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit any type of bathroom whether you have a compact space or a large family bathroom.

When choosing a new bath make sure you take into consideration your requirements and the overall shape and size of your bathroom. If you have a small bathroom there are a fantastic choice of compact baths which are available in a range of styles including freestanding, corner, shower bath and straight versions, so you can still achieve a very stylish look even if you are limited for space. For those who are less mobile there are even walk-in baths, which feature a handy door for easy access in and out of the bath. Shower baths are great for combining showering and bathing in the same space so you don’t have to compromise on having to choose between installing a separate bath and shower enclosure.

If you are a family with young children opting for a straight bath is a practical choice and allows you to easily wash your kids. Straight baths are available in a wide variety of sizes ranging from a compact 1500mm in length to a spacious 1800mm double-ended bath. Double-ended baths have a become a popular choice and are great for creating a modern look to the bathroom, they also feature plenty of bathing space and you can bathe at either end without the taps getting in the way as they are installed in the centre. Straight baths are usually manufactured from acrylic or steel.

A freestanding bath is perfect for creating a very luxurious feel to the bathroom and will certainly add some wow factor. Freestanding baths are available in traditional and more contemporary styles and come in a range of sizes to suit even the smaller bathroom. Traditional freestanding roll top and slipper baths are perfect for creating an authentic traditional bathroom. A freestanding roll top bath can feature a single or a double-ended design and a slipper bath features one end which is at a higher level than the other; both styles have exposed pipework so take care if there are young children around. Contemporary freestanding baths come in a variety of designs ranging from the angular to the more curvaceous and will certainly add a touch of designer style to your bathroom.

If your bathroom has an awkward shape or you just fancy something a bit different why not consider a corner bath? A corner bath is a great way to add a touch of luxury to the bathroom and will provide you with a truly relaxing soak. Corner baths are available in a variety of sizes including 1200x1200mm and an offset 1500x1000mm. The Balterley Nuvo corner bath even has the option of transforming it into a shower bath with the Nuvo bath screen and is ideal for a small bathroom.

Shower baths feature a clever design that allows you to combine both bathing and showering in the same space making them ideal for bathrooms that don’t have enough room to install a separate bath and shower enclosure. A shower bath widens out at one end to form a showering area but still features plenty of bathing space. Shower baths are available in two styles including p-shaped and square and come complete with a bath screen.
