Big Baths: Our Top 5 Tubs For Two

Having a two person bathtub makes a long, relaxing soak under the bubbles at the end of the day even more luxurious - and you don’t have to bathe alone!

If you have the space available in your bathroom, going from a regular sized bath to a large two person tub could be the game-changing renovation you never knew you needed. While they’re a smart choice for couples who want to take baths together, they can also simply be a luxurious upgrade for one person who appreciates a premium soak. We’ll go through five of our best two person bathtubs, as well as looking at who would benefit from making the switch to a bigger bath.

Benefits of 2 Person Bathtubs

Convenient for Couples

Standard bathtubs usually aren’t intended for more than one person to use them at a time. Many are simply not deep, wide or long enough to comfortably fit two people at once. Plus, if they’re single-ended (the tap(s), waste and overflow are at one end of the tub), one person will have to try to relax with a tap poking into their back.

On the other hand, a two person bath will be large enough for two people to bathe together. Usually, this means they’ll be at least 1700-1800mm long and 800-900mm wide. They will also be double-ended, so the tap, waste and overflow are in the middle of the tub. For couples, this means both people can lean back and relax at the same time, at either end of the bath.

Comfy for Tall People

Another reason why you might consider a two-person tub, even if you’re not going to take a bath with someone else, is that they can be more comfortable for taller or larger people. Since they are larger than standard baths in terms of length and width, someone who finds a typical bath too small might find that a large two person tub is the perfect fit.

Premium Style for Your Space

Beyond the practical side of getting a bigger tub, a bath designed for two people can give your bathroom a much more premium look. A bigger bath looks luxurious and elegant, and can easily become the stylish focal point of your bathroom.

Extra Depth for Relaxing

If you’ve been struggling with not being able to fully submerge yourself in your current bath, then a 2 person bath might be the answer. Since they’re deeper than smaller baths, you’ll be able to fully soak in the water, which is perfect for soothing sore muscles and feeling like you’re relaxing in a five-star spa.

1. Harmony Large Two-Person Inset Bath

When you choose a two person bath for your space, it will almost certainly become the focal point of your bathroom, so something elegant like the Harmony Two-Person Bath is a great idea.

Pair it with marble effect tiles, chrome taps and a little bit of greenery for a beautiful spa-like aesthetic.

2. Villeroy & Boch Targa Plus Duo Bath

A slightly smaller option that still comfortably fits two people is the Villeroy & Boch Targa Plus Bath, at 1800mm x 800mm. Its double-ended design makes sure that sharing a bath is comfy and cosy, and you can add bath panels that match with your bathroom’s decor for a cohesive look. Go for a bold colour like orange or red to get a contemporary feel in your bathroom, and contrast it against large format, elegant grey tiles.

If you prefer the traditional look of a freestanding bath but still want something large enough for two people, then the Chatsworth Curved Bath might be perfect for your bathroom. It’s 1800mm x 850mm, double-ended and has a traditional, sophisticated look. It’s perfect for levelling up the luxury in your space, especially when paired with a chrome freestanding bath mixer tap and some stylish patterned tiles.

For a more snug and sleek fit, you might want to go with the Villeroy & Boch Subway Bath. It’s double-ended and measures 1800mm x 800mm, so it’s got everything you need for an ideal bath for 2 people. Use light wood effect tiles on your bathroom floor and matching furniture like vanity units to create a Scandi Style look that brings minimalistic charm to your home.

5. BC Designs Senator Freestanding Bath

The ultimate traditional bath tub for two has to be the BC Designs Senator Bath. At 1804mm x 850mm, you’ll have plenty of space for two people to share the bath, and its unique appearance will make it a standout feature of your bathroom. This bath’s classic style would work well with sandy, beige tones on your wall and floor tiles for a premium, luxurious aesthetic.

Stretch Out and Relax in a 2 Person Tub

As long as you have enough space in your bathroom, a bathtub for two is a brilliant upgrade. Even when only one person is using it, you’ll still be having a much comfier and more relaxing time in the bath, compared to a tub that only fits one person.
