At Bathroom & Beyond, we understand your bathroom is more than just a functional space; it's your personal sanctuary- and the bathtub is your centrepiece for this sanctuary, the ultimate facility for relaxation and rejuvenation.

But with so many options available, buying a bath online can feel overwhelming. That’s why we here at Bathroom & Beyond are here to guide you through the process, ensuring a smooth and successful online shopping experience.

Measure Twice, Order Once

Before embarking on your online bath buying journey, measure your bathroom meticulously. Consider the available space, including doorways and access points. Don't forget to factor in any existing fixtures or features like taps and waste pipes. 

Once you have precise measurements, explore our wide range of baths, from space-saving corner baths and L-shaped baths to luxurious steel baths.

Choosing the Right Bath for You

The material of your bath plays a crucial role in both aesthetics and functionality. Here are some popular options to consider:

• Acrylic baths: Lightweight, affordable, and easy to clean, but may scratch more easily.
• Cast iron baths: Superbly durable and retain heat exceptionally well, offering a luxurious bathing experience.
• Steel baths: Similar to cast iron in durability and heat retention, but generally lighter and more affordable. 

Safety First

When buying a bath online, prioritize safety:

• Check the weight capacity: Ensure the chosen bath can support its intended users safely.
• Verify anti-slip properties: Opt for baths with textured surfaces or consider adding bath mats for additional grip.
• Research warranty information: Understand the warranty coverage and terms for peace of mind.

At Bathroom & Beyond, we offer a diverse selection of baths to suit all styles, budgets, and needs. Explore our user-friendly website, where you'll find detailed product descriptions, high-quality images, and helpful customer reviews. Our friendly customer service team is also here to answer any questions and guide you through the buying process.

So, take a deep breath, grab your measuring tape, and embark on your online bath buying adventure with Bathroom & Beyond. Remember, your dream bath awaits, just a few clicks away!

If you’re looking to buy a new bath, you might feel spoiled for choice. This can be a daunting task, with so many different types, styles, and materials to choose from.

But don't worry, Bathroom and Beyond are here to help! In this blog post, I'll walk you through the most important factors to consider when choosing a bathtub, so you can find the perfect one for your needs and budget.

Consider your Bathroom Space

The first thing to think about before buying baths or showers is how much space you have in your bathroom. Bathtubs come in a variety of sizes, from space saver baths to spacious L shaped baths. If you want a shower and bath combo, this also affects where you can place the bath.

If you have a small bathroom, you'll need to choose a tub that fits comfortably in the space, but if you have more space, you have more options.

Some bathtubs also come with additional features, such as whirlpool jets, air massage systems, and built-in heaters, so if you’re interested in any of these features, be sure to choose a bathtub that can fit them!

Choosing a Type and Material

The types of bathtub include:

• Alcove tubs, the most common type of bathtub. They are installed between three walls, which makes them ideal for small bathrooms.
• Drop-in tubs which are installed into a deck or platform. They are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, and suitable for the outdoors too!
• Freestanding tubs that are not attached to any walls. They are often the most expensive type of bathtub, but they can make a bold statement in a large bathroom.
• Corner bathtubs which are installed in the corner of a bathroom. They are a good option for small bathrooms because they maximise space.

Once you have a type of bathtub, it’s next time to consider the material. Bathtubs can be made from a variety of materials, including acrylic, cast iron, fibreglass, and stone.

Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages:

• Acrylic bathtubs are lightweight and easy to install, and also relatively inexpensive. However, they can also be easily scratched and can fade over time.
• Cast iron and steel baths are durable, heavy-duty and retain heat well. However, these are also expensive and can be difficult to install.
• Fibreglass bathtubs are lightweight and affordable, as well as being easy to clean and maintain. However, fibreglass bathtubs are not as durable as acrylic or cast iron bathtubs and can crack or chip over time.
• Stone bathtubs are the most luxurious type of bathtub. They are also very durable and easy to clean. However, like metal bathtubs, stone bathtubs are very expensive and difficult to install.

Bathtubs can range in price from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds, but so long as you set reasonable expectations about what you can get in your budget, we promise you can get a bathtub that’s perfect for you!

When it comes to choosing a new bath for your bathroom, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is whether you go for a single-ended or double-ended bath. Each style has its own unique characteristics, and the choice of style can greatly impact your bathing experience.

In this blog, we’ll explore the pros and cons of both single-ended and double-ended baths to help you make an informed decision on which one is best suited to your unique needs and requirements.

Single-ended Baths

Single-ended baths are a classic and popular choice for many homeowners. They are characterised by having one backrest with the tap and waste typically positioned at the other end. Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of single-ended baths:

Pros:

• Space-saving: Single-ended baths are a great choice for smaller bathrooms or bathrooms with limited space. Since the taps and waste are typically located at one end they can be positioned against a wall, saving space.
• Cost effective: Single-ended baths are often more affordable than their double-ended counterparts, making them an excellent choice for those on a budget.
• Easy to install: The plumbing for single-ended baths is usually simpler, making installation easier and potentially less expensive.
• Comfortable: Many single-ended baths are designed with a sloped backrest, providing a comfortable and relaxed bathing experience.

Cons:

• Limited sharing: If you enjoy sharing your bath with a partner or family bathing, single-ended baths can be less accommodating. The tap end may not be as comfortable for two people.

Double-ended Baths

Double-ended baths are a luxurious and elegant choice for those who prioritise comfort and style. These baths have a central waste and tap placement with two identical, sloped backrests. Let’s explore the pros and cons of double-ended baths:

Pros:

• Roomy and comfortable: Double-ended baths are designed for two people to comfortably share a bath. The symmetrical design ensures that both bathers have equal space and support.
• Relaxing soak: With the central positioning of taps and waste, double-ended baths offer a more symmetrical and spacious soak, providing a luxurious and relaxing experience.
• Elegant design: Double-ended baths often have a sleek, modern design that can enhance the overall look of your bathroom.

Cons:

• Space requirement: Double-ended baths tend to be larger, so they may not be suitable for smaller bathrooms.
• More complex installation: The central placement of taps and waste can make installation more complex and costly, especially if you need to reroute plumbing.

Which bath is right for you?

Choosing between a single-ended and a double ended bath ultimately depends on your individual needs and preferences. Here are some considerations to help you decide:

• Space: If you have limited space in your bathroom, a single-ended bath may be the more practical choice
• Budget: If cost is a significant concern, a single-ended bath is usually more affordable.
• Sharing: If you plan to share your bath with others and prioritise comfort, a double-ended bath is the better option.
• Aesthetics: Consider the overall design and style of your bathroom, and choose a bath that best complements the space.
• Plumbing and installation: Assess your plumbing situation and budget for any necessary modifications or adjustments.

*

In the end, both single-ended and double-ended baths have their merits, and the right choice for you will depend on your unique requirements. Take the time to measure your space, consider your budget, and envision your ideal bathroom to make an informed decision that will leave you happy with your bathroom for years to come.
