Luxurious Bathtubs for Every Layout

Finding the perfect vessel for relaxation depends on your available floor space and your personal style preferences. We offer a variety of configurations to suit any bathroom size.

• Freestanding and Statement Pieces: For a bold focal point, a freestanding bathtub or a classic clawfoot tub offers a timeless look. These units act as a primary piece of hardware in a master suite, providing a sculptural element that elevates the entire room. For a more contemporary feel, a pedestal tub or a stone resin bath offers clean, minimalist lines.
• Space-Saving and Integrated Options: If you are working with a standard layout, a single ended bath or a double ended bath provides a practical and comfortable solution. For smaller bathrooms, an l-shaped shower bath or a p-shaped shower bath is a mechanical necessity, allowing you to enjoy both a full soak and a spacious showering area within the same footprint.
• Specialized Comfort: Enhance your experience with a whirlpool bath or a jetted tub featuring integrated air jets for a therapeutic massage. We also stock walk-in baths with secure door hardware to ensure accessibility and safety for users with limited mobility.

High-Performance Showers and Enclosures

A modern shower should provide a seamless blend of power, efficiency, and safety. Our range of showering hardware is designed to deliver a consistent experience every time.

• Shower Systems and Mixers: Choose from our selection of thermostatic showers, which are a necessity for maintaining a constant water temperature and preventing scalding. For households with low water pressure, a power shower or an electric shower provides the mechanical boost needed for a strong flow. If you prefer a spa-like feel, a rainfall shower head or a multi-jet shower tower offers a truly immersive experience.
• Enclosures and Screens: Keep your bathroom floor dry and stylish with our variety of shower enclosures. From space-saving quadrant shower enclosures to sleek walk-in shower screens, we provide the tempered safety glass and aluminum hardware needed for a secure installation. For bathtubs, a folding bath screen or a fixed glass panel offers a modern alternative to traditional curtains.
• Trays and Bases: Ensure efficient drainage with a high-quality shower tray. We offer low-profile stone resin trays for a "wet room" look, as well as acrylic trays that are lightweight and easy to install. Using the correct waste hardware is essential to prevent pooling and ensure a hygienic environment.

Essential Installation Hardware and Accessories

The longevity of your bathtubs & showers depends on the quality of the internal components and the finishing touches that protect your investment.

• Tapware and Fillers: Complete your bathtub with a stylish bath mixer tap or a floor mounted bath filler for freestanding units. For the shower, we provide adjustable riser rails, flexible shower hoses, and ergonomic handsets that allow you to customize your wash.
• Safety and Accessibility: Incorporating safety hardware such as grab rails and non-slip mats is a vital consideration for any family bathroom. We also offer integrated shower seats and thermostatic mixing valves to ensure a comfortable and secure environment for all users.
• Maintenance and Care: Protect the finish of your acrylic and ceramic hardware with specialized bathroom cleaners and lime-scale removers. For glass enclosures, a daily squeegee and a water-repellent coating will keep your screens crystal clear and free from water spots.

FAQs

What is the difference between a thermostatic shower and a manual mixer?

A thermostatic shower features an internal valve that automatically adjusts the hot and cold water mix to maintain a pre-set temperature, even if someone else in the house turns on a tap. This hardware is a mechanical necessity for family homes as it provides an essential safety feature to prevent accidental scalding. A manual mixer requires you to adjust the temperature yourself every time you use it.

How do I choose the right size shower tray for my enclosure?

To ensure a watertight fit, your shower tray hardware must perfectly match the footprint of your enclosure. Common sizes include 800x800mm or 900x900mm for quadrant styles, and larger rectangular sizes for walk-in setups. Always measure your available floor space and check the door opening radius to ensure you have enough room for comfortable access.

Can I install a freestanding bathtub in a small bathroom?

While freestanding tubs are typically associated with large spaces, there are many compact models available. However, you must consider the plumbing hardware; freestanding taps often require pipes to be run through the floor, which can be a mechanical challenge in certain properties. Ensure there is enough space around the tub for cleaning and maintenance.

Why is an L-shaped shower bath a good choice for renovations?

An l-shaped shower bath provides the best of both worlds by featuring a widened section at one end, giving you more shoulder room while showering. It is a vital piece of hardware for those who want the luxury of a bathtub but primarily use a shower, as it effectively turns a standard bath into a dedicated shower cubicle without requiring additional floor space.

What is the best way to prevent leaks in a new shower installation?

The key to a leak-free shower is using high-quality silicone sealant and ensuring the shower tray is perfectly level during installation. Additionally, using a dedicated waterproof tanking kit behind your tiles is a necessity for walk-in showers and wet rooms to protect the structural integrity of your walls and floors from moisture ingress.
