Back To Wall Baths

If you're looking for something which maintains the timeless style of a traditional bathtub while also keeping thingsfunctional for daily use then one of the best options is something which might not have crossed your mind; fitting a backto wall bath. Not sure what you need to look out for? This guide will explain all you need to know.

Back to wall baths are essentially freestanding tubs which you position against a wall rather than in the centre of theroom.

This works really well if you're short of space as trying to shoehorn a freestanding bath into the middle of a smallroom for example can actually make things look worse and affect the practicality of your surroundings too as things willbegin to feel cramped as a result.

You won't usually receive any taps with your back to wall bathtub so remember to factor this into your budget. Some ofour designs do actually come with a fitted waste however you will have to purchase one separately for other baths; theproduct description will inform you of this.

This depends on the style of bath more than anything. Some baths will allow you to install deck mounted taps (althoughyou'll probably have to drill the holes yourself for this) while others will benefit from wall mounted taps instead if theedge of the tub is a little too thin. Wall mounted taps do allow you create a minimalist look so this is worth keeping inmind.

Like a lot of plumbing jobs, fitting a back-to-wall bath yourself can be tricky if you don't have previous experiencewith this kind of task. If you've tackled bath installation before then it should be pretty straight forward however ifyou're a novice when it comes to DIY then we suggest contacting a plumber to install everything for you.
