Shower Baths

A shower bath is a bath tub that combines the convenience of a refreshing shower with the luxury of a tub to soak in, perfect for modern day living. It's a space-saving solution for smaller bathrooms, providing a versatile and practical washing experience as it caters for both scenarios, making it an ideal choice for households with different daily routines and preferences. Shower baths are available in various sizes and shapes, including L-shaped and P-shaped designs. Not everyone is lucky enough to have the space to fit a separate bath and shower enclosure, so for homes with limited bathroom space, a showerbath is a game-changer. It combines both bathroom fixtures into one.

Benefits of Shower Baths

1. Shower baths offer the benefits of a bath and a seperate shower, saving space and providing more free play for additional bathroom furniture or units.
2. They are a practical solution for families with limited bathroom space, offering a convenient and comfortable bathing experience. Showers typically use less water than filling an entire bath, making them a more wallet friendly option for daily use. By choosing to shower most of the time, homeowners can significantly reduce their water useage and bills.
3. They are a popular choice for modern living, as they offer a versatile and practical solution for bathroom needs. Young children often prefer baths, as they provide a safe, fun environment for splashing in, while adults and teenagers may prefer the convenience of a shower. Their versatility ensures that every family member's choices are accommodated.

Shaped Shower Baths

Modern showerbaths are available in a wide variety of styles, shapes, and sizes, allowing homeowners to select a design that complements their bathroom space. The popular shapes include P-shape and L-shape showerbaths, both of which offer extra space for showering without compromising the tub's comfort. The back of these baths is 700 mm in width. In comparison, the showering area at the other end is shaped to increased to 850 mm. They are available in left hand and right hand versions, to merge beautifully into your bathroom layout.

• L-shaped shower baths feature a squared-off end and are ideal for modern, angular bathrooms.
• P-shaped shower baths feature a curved end and are suitable for modern and traditional bathrooms.
• Straight shower baths are a similar to a single ended bath, with one end to lean back against while you bath and the other end more square- as this is the end to stand in while you shower.
• Traditional shower baths are commonly roll top designs, ideal for making a statement while keeping the practicality of a shower bath. These baths are perfect for adding a touch of classic luxury to your bathroom.
• Back to wall baths are a type of shower bath that looks like a freestanding bath yet is fitted directly to the wall, perfect for smaller spaces.
• Compact Shower Baths save space and are perfect for smaller spaces like an ensuite, annexe or guest bathroom. These still create a comfortable washing experience without taking up too much room.

Bath screens are an important purchase to consider when choosing a shower bath, as they provide a convenient and useful barrier for water when showering, keeping it limited to the showering area and off the floor. We stock a wide range of straight screens, l shape for l shaped baths and curved screens to fit our p shape shower baths that will complete your contemporary style and create an enclosure in the end of the tub. It also means that if you're in a hurry to get ready, the convenience of a shower is there immediately, rather than having to wait for a bath to fill.

Choosing the Right Shower Bath

• Consider the size and shape of the bathroom when choosing a shower bath, as well as the design of the bath, to be sure you're buying the best option for you. Measure your bathroom carefully to determine the available space, and choose a shower bath that fits comfortably without overwhelming the room.
• Choose a shower bath that is made from high-quality materials such as acrylic and fibreglass that are built to last and easy to maintain. Their smooth gloss finish makes cleaning a dream. 
• Buy a bath that you can customise with bath panels, a bath screen, taps and wastes to add your personal touch. Choose a shower, tap, waste and screen in the same colour to form a tasteful continuing theme throughout. Take a look at our range of showers and taps to complete the room.
