Back to wall baths, renowned for their sleek design and space-saving features, are a stylish and practical freestanding bath choice for both compact and spacious bathrooms. As the name suggests, they are designed to sit flush against a wall. They are also referred to as a “wall bathtub”. Whatever you call them, these tubs are an ideal choice for bathrooms that don’t have the space for freestanding baths but don’t like inset baths.
Understanding the Space: Assessing Your Bathroom Layout
When assessing your bathroom layout for back to wall baths, consider the room’s overall dimensions and layout. Take accurate measurements of the intended installation area, ensuring enough clearance for cabinetry, toilets, and door swings. It’s not just about fitting the bath but also about maintaining a comfortable, uncluttered space.
Consider the placement of windows and lighting, as these elements can influence where the bathtub should be positioned for optimal comfort and aesthetics. Remember, a well-planned layout is key to a functional and visually appealing bathroom.
Standard Freestanding Back To Wall Bath
If you do not lack space, consider standard freestanding back to wall baths. This type of bathtub is positioned against the wall and sits on a base or feet, giving the impression of being “freestanding”. It typically requires more floor space than other types of baths but offers a luxurious and striking look that can serve as a statement piece in your bathroom.
Corner Back To Wall Freestanding Bath
Consider a corner bath design for smaller bathrooms or those with an awkward layout. As the name suggests, corner back-to-wall baths are designed to fit snugly into a corner, efficiently using space while providing the benefits and style of a freestanding bath. They’re an excellent option for those looking to maximise space without compromising on design. They are also popular for those looking for a shower tub hybrid solution. Their corner installation means you can install a shower on the wall above and then tile the walls.
Sizing Up: Selecting the Right Back To Wall Bath Size
Selecting the right size bath is crucial for finding the perfect balance between functionality and comfort. Our extensive range includes popular bathtub sizes such as 1500mm, 1600mm, and 1700mm, catering to different bathroom dimensions. When considering the size, consider the available space in your bathroom and how many people will use the tub at once during bath time.
For smaller bathrooms, a compact model is ideal as it allows for essential movement space without overwhelming the area. In larger bathrooms, you can opt for a more spacious bathtub that offers indulgent comfort. It’s important to remember that the tub size can significantly influence the overall feel of the bathroom. A bathtub that is too large may make the space feel cramped, while a bath that is too small might look out of place in a spacious room.
By carefully considering the size and factors such as bathroom space and the number of users, you can create a harmonious and functional bathing experience that suits your needs and enhances the overall aesthetic of your bathroom.
Design Dynamics: Picking a Style That Resonates
When selecting a freestanding back to wall bath design, it’s important to consider various elements that will complement your bathroom’s existing décor and reflect your design style.
Bath Shape
Consider the shape of the freestanding bath – whether you prefer a well-defined and modern design with clean lines or a timeless and elegant feel with soft curves. Explore different shapes, such as round or angular-shaped baths, to find the perfect fit for your bathroom aesthetic. With soft curves and modern designs, you can create a bathing space that combines elegance and comfort.
Rim Width
Pay attention to the rim width, as it can contribute to the overall appearance and functionality of the freestanding bath, creating a streamlined look and seamless finish. Additionally, consider the compatibility of bath tapware options to ensure seamless integration into your bathroom design.
By carefully selecting a well-designed back-to-wall bath, you can create a focal point in your bathroom or seamlessly blend it with the existing theme. This thoughtful consideration of design elements will enhance the overall aesthetic and transform your bathroom into a space that feels truly unique and tailored to your taste.
Material Matters: Quality and Durability
When it comes to material, it plays a crucial role in both its appearance and longevity. While you can find back-to-wall baths and corner baths in various materials, including sanitary grade acrylic, stone, and composite, choosing a high-quality material that will withstand everyday use is essential.
At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, our back to wall baths are made from premium sanitary grade acrylic that is visually appealing, durable and long-lasting. We choose to stock baths crafted from high-quality sanitary grade acrylic due to all the benefits they offer, listed below.
Durability and Heat-Retention of Acrylic Baths
Firstly, acrylic is well-known for its exceptional durability and heat-retention properties. This means that your bath will withstand daily use and maintain water temperature effectively for a more enjoyable bathing experience.
Lightweight and Easy Installation
Additionally, acrylic baths are lightweight, making installation a breeze. This is particularly advantageous if you’re looking for a hassle-free installation process.
Low-Maintenance Advantage
Moreover, our range of acrylic baths is designed to be low-maintenance, saving you time and effort in cleaning and upkeep. This is an important consideration when choosing a bath material.
Aesthetic Appeal of Acrylic Baths
Lastly, acrylic baths offer timeless appeal and seamlessly blend with various bathroom styles. Whether your bathroom has a contemporary or traditional design, an acrylic bath from Ross’s Discount Home Centre will complement the overall aesthetic.

Budget Considerations: Finding Value and Quality
To find a back to wall bath that suits your budget but still maintains quality, it is crucial to consider a few key factors:
If you are on a budget, our acrylic back to wall baths can be a more cost-effective choice. Cheaper than stone and composite options, these tubs provide excellent value for money without compromising on durability or style. By opting for an acrylic bathtub, you can save costs not only in the initial purchase but also in terms of long-term maintenance.
When budgeting for your back-to-wall bathtub, it is also essential to consider the long-term value.

Installation Insights: Ensuring a Smooth Set-Up

We highly recommend utilising experienced professionals for installation to ensure meticulous execution. They will handle various aspects, including levelling the bath, securely attaching it to the wall, and ensuring all plumbing connections are watertight and compliant with local regulations. By opting for professional installation, you can also benefit from their ability to anticipate and address potential issues, saving you time and hassle.
