Small Bathroom Baths is our range narrowed down to what actually fits — freestanding baths built for bathrooms that were never going to take a full-size tub. Every piece here holds its footprint honestly, without asking you to compromise on the feeling of a proper soak. Considered proportions, not consolation prizes.
Often, yes — but the constraint is clearance, not the bath. A freestanding bath needs clear floor on all four sides. In a tight room, a back-to-wall design at 1500mm will usually fit where a fully freestanding 1700mm will not, because it removes the need for access behind.
Around 1350mm. Below that you are into sit-in and Japanese soaking formats rather than a bath you recline in. At 1350–1500mm the shape matters more than the length: a raised, slipper-style back buys back comfort that the footprint gives away.
400–600mm on the sides you walk down and around 1,100mm at the foot end is the comfortable standard. The hard minimum anywhere is roughly 150mm, which is a cleaning gap, not a walking one. Measure the real usable floor, not the room — door swings, radiators and the basin all eat into it.
If the room only has space for one bathing fixture and the shower is used daily, then honestly yes — a shower over a bath earns its footprint in a way a small freestanding bath may not. A compact freestanding bath is the right answer when the soak is the point and a separate shower exists elsewhere.
