Before and After – Freestanding Bath Renovations
February 22, 2018

The key to a freestanding bath layout is understanding that cleaning will be one of the biggest factors. Unlike a traditional drop-in bath, which has brickwork surrounding it, a freestanding bath will often have at least one exposed gap.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a huge increase in what’s known as back-to-wall freestanding baths. These baths are designed to sit flush against one or two walls, eliminating those hard-to-clean gaps while still maintaining the freestanding look.

Personally, I prefer freestanding baths because they tend to be deeper and more comfortable for most adults compared to the shallower drop-in styles.

The freestanding-bath renovations look and feel great. As an adult, us and children can actually use the bath opposed to the much shallower bricked bath. My wife personally every time we book a hotel anywhere wants a tub bath so I know it can be a great selling point. If you are dead set on keeping a bath I would recommend getting a freestanding bath. The downsides are its cost which can be $750 to $1500 more expensive to purchase oppose to the drop in bricked bath and the cleaning factor. If they are not issues for you then always go freestanding when possible for a wow factor and a relaxing feel.
