Often I find when looking for inspiration on a renovation I can’t find practical examples of how my space will look. Knowing this my aim for our before and after series is to help you visualize your renovation space better with more accurate examples of bathroom renovations we have completed in Perth that hopefully matches your before or even better desired after.
The key to a Freestanding Bath style of layout is to understand that cleaning will be the biggest factor. Unlike a traditional drop-in bath which has brickwork all around it the freestanding bath often has gaps in place of those bricks. It’s important to note that you can stand in the bath and get to these spots or some of the baths now come with those sections completely filled in.

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.
