WYB: Baths Under £200

Can you buy baths under £200? WYB takes a look at bathtubs available on a £200 budget!

Baths Under £200

When you’ve had a tough day, nothing beats a hot soak in the tub to help soothe aches and pains and relieve those built up stresses. So, in this week’s ‘What’s Your Budget’ (WYB) feature we take the plunge and look at 4 baths under £200. What’s your budget for a bath? Can you buy a bath for less than £200? WYB finds out!

What is a bath?

When we talk about baths it could literally mean anything because there are so many varieties out there. We’re not talking about the beautiful place Bath and we don’t mean public baths and swimming pools, we’re talking regular ol’ bathtubs. Not the fancy freestanding types, expensive natural stone or cast iron styles, just what we refer to as standard baths, you know, the ones we generally find in most bathrooms.

Choosing a bath under £200

Baths can be one of the most expensive items that make up a bathroom suite and buying one for less than £200 can sometimes leave you limited. Before you buy a bath it’s a good idea to measure your bathroom first, if you’re installing from scratch, or take the measurements of your old bath to get the best sizes if you’re replacing a like for like size.

Once you have the bath sizes you require and a good idea of how much you want to spend on a new bathtub you’re pretty much ready to go. A couple of things to note are that most baths don’t come with bath taps and these can add to the overall cost of your bath. It’s worth checking out which taps will fit into your budgeting plans before heading straight for a bath you think will look fab in your bathroom. Taps can really enhance the look of a bath so choose wisely and you’ll end up with a really stylish bath complete with taps on a smaller budget than you thought possible. Another thing that may not come with your bath is bath panels. These hide the underside of your bath from the front and sides and give it that finished look. These vary in price, style and quality so make sure these are in your budgeting plans too.

Are there baths within a £200 budget?

There is a great selection of budget baths under £200 which we have listed below. Whether you just want something to fill a space or would like a nice bathroom feature we have something for you in this list. We believe that these 4 baths represent excellent value for money, quality build and style but the list is in no particular order.

What will your bath budget do for you?

If you have a budget of £200 for a bath you’d expect to be limited on both choice and quality. The reality is, although you can pay thousands for a bath, there are lots of baths in all shapes, styles and sizes to choose from under £200 which are built to last and designed with style in mind.

The above options show that no matter the style, be it traditional, art deco or contemporary there is something for everyone’s budget.

As with anything though, you will have to look for bathtubs which include such items as bath panels, taps and wastes to complete the look and function of your bath; and will need to be factored into your budget if you want a complete bath under £200. This article has picked baths for your budget and hasn’t factored in the cost of additional parts but, we have tried our best to complete each bath with money left over from your budget.
