Tips for selecting a new Bath

Options incorporate iron bathtubs cast iron bathtubs, and even antique baths.

Some are very valuable. If you decide that you replace your old cast iron tub, you should get in touch with a dealer and get a quote – you do not want to place a very valuable bath in the skip for someone else to take and the profits of that! Antique cast iron bathtubs are still very popular today, and many people choose to keep bathing it them, just getting a company to come out and re-enamel them when they are worn. Some companies want to do this work on their own ground, but some do come to your home and spray them in your bathroom.

Do you want a reproduction or even a restored antique cast iron bathtub to buy, there are specialized players around. Be warned however, that even if they are old, or second-hand they will probably still be expensive. Also warned that the cast iron tubs are very heavy and it would take at least two people (ideally 3 people) to lift up the stairs to your bathroom. They also need a little extra care to maintain, especially keeping it clean.

Man-Made bathtubs are low maintenance and low cost.

Today, most baths are made of acrylic, pure Gass-formed plastic or enameled pressed steel. The acrylic and plastic baths installation could be performed by a single person because they are very light, but of course very solid and durable. However, the steel bath would probably have to be carried by two people.

You must be careful not to use abrasives or bleach on your plastic or acrylic bath and bath panel as some of the surfaces of the bath are harmed by these chemicals.

Because these types of bathtubs are made of flexible materials such as plastic / acrylic, they can be made to more specific designs. You also have the choice of a matching bath panel, taps at the back, front, corner or side, and probably a choice of any color you can imagine. On this day, the trend seems white but it will change.

Corner bathtubs

Corner baths are very popular at the moment with smaller flats and homes. People want a little different look than getting the standard rectangular bath but need to consider where the bath is to be installed. Too many people think that corner bathtubs save on space. This is actually not true. A corner bath surprisingly takes more area than a rectangular bath of the same capacity. It is because the bath is running in a corner in the room and takes up less space flat on the wall.

Therefore, as a bath takes up less space on the wall, you can then use this space for shelves, a radiator or a modern bathroom radiator fit. You could even use the extra space for a stand-alone shower beside the pool.

If you have the space corner baths come in all colors and varieties of shapes and sizes. Choosing different styles of faucets for the look of your room and bath supplements are also very flexible, be it a Victorian feel, or a modern look. You can change the look of your bathroom by simply taps you choose.

Rectangular baths.

Although some people today opt for the corner bath design, a rectangular bath is still the most popular because it is the most economical design and will fit any style of bathroom. Rectangular baths can be purchased in various lengths to suit your needs. Lengths vary from 1.5 to 1.8 m in length, with from 700 to 800mm wide.

Rounded bathtubs

If you have a very large bathroom, then a certain wow factor would be to install a round bath and stand back. A round bath in the center of a large bathroom is an impressive part of the overall layout of the room but is takes a lot of space and there are not many bath panels available. For obvious reasons, a round bath is impossible / impractical in smaller bathrooms, but if you have the space – than go for it!
