Where to get small-sized bath?

I just went and asked at the local plumber's merchant. They could offer me a range of baths in multiples of 50mm smaller than a standard bath, plastic or steel at prices starting around

The sheds rarely have anything except the 'standard' full size.

The bathroom shops wanted, in excess of a grand.

I don't, but let me pass on a tip gleaned from an architect used to shoehorning bathrooms into small places - if you're starting a bathroom from scratch and are demolishing and rebuilding stud partitions, it's sometimes possible to make use of the sloping back of the bath by making it coincide with the sloping ceiling above the stairs - you can gain a precious few inches of bath length that way. Obviously only works for specific circumstances though.

Thanks for the input. So what size was the small one you got, exactly?

B&Q do a (L) 1500 x (W) 700 x (H) 510mm bath.

Will a corner bath fit?

You can do down to the size of those sit in baths that you can get. My problem was that I considered the 'standard' small bath at IIRC 200mm smaller than a 'normal' bath was too small for the only bath and as I my available space was only 50mm short of the normal size this is all that I wanted to save.

Great tip, thanks; unfortunately my situation is the exact opposite; I'm trying to fit a bathrom *underneath* some stairs!

McB

That's useful info; thanks! I will see if that will fit.

McB

Good suggestion. I had already considered odd-shaped baths. But will reconsider...

Thanks McB

In that case, fit the bath on the ceiling then!

The ends of my bath are recessed into the walls by about 25 mm each end.

I am almost certain that B & Q do a 1500mm as well as 1690, 1695, 1700 and

Try Cabuchon Baths or Mantaleda, or Omni.

I never thought of that! Thanks! ;-))
