What to consider when buying a freestanding bathtub

The average bathtub is typically 140-180 centimetres long and 90-100 centimetres wide. The smaller sizes can comfortably fit a person. If you want your tub to accommodate 2 people, it should be at least 170 x 80 centimetres.

For a two-person bathtub, choose one without an overflow to maximise bath depth.

Be sure that the bathtub you're buying will fit in your bathroom. People sometimes purchase bathtubs that are too large, making them difficult to fit in the bathroom or carry through the door.

The most common type of bathtubs nowadays are made of various acrylic materials. But you can also find some made of marble. Here are some characteristics:

  • Cast iron baths are heavy, but resistant to impacts and scratches. They might feel cold to touch where the water doesn't heat.

  • Acrylic baths are easy to repair and polish if they get scratched. One downside is that they might be seen as inexpensive. But they usually feel warm against your skin, even before the water has time to warm up the bath.

  • Cast marble baths are great at retaining heat. They give off a more luxurious vibe compared to acrylic ones. They can be heavy and fixing scratches might be more challenging.

Your preference for a bathtub's shape comes down to personal taste. You can find them in classic bold or minimalist designs. Keep in mind that some bathtubs suit specific placements better – a square or rectangular bathtub will look better in a corner than a round one. But, appearance isn't everything, ergonomics is also important.

When it comes to ergonomics, the shape of the bathtub largely determines its comfort level. Bathtubs with soft, round contours are comfortable to sit in, while those with straight edges might require a neck pillow. If you want a bathtub spacious enough for 2 people, consider one with a double back scoop for added comfort.

If you're in need of inspiration for your new bathroom or a renovation project, there are plenty of online sources to explore.
