1500mm to 1700mm Baths

About

1500mm to 1700mm Baths Buying Guide This size range earns its "standard" label because it fits the widest range of Australian bathroom footprints without either cramping the room or leaving a bath too short to use comfortably. It's the size most new builds are planned around from the outset, and the most common replacement size in a straightforward bathroom renovation where the existing layout isn't changing significantly. Choosing within the range 1500mm suits bathrooms with a more modest footprint, giving genuine soaking comfort without demanding the floor space a longer bath needs. 1600mm sits as a middle option, worth considering specifically for taller household members who find 1500mm slightly restrictive without needing to jump to the largest size available. 1700mm gives the most generous depth within this standard range, suited to a bathroom with a little more room to spare, or a household prioritising a longer, more relaxed soak as a daily habit rather than an occasional one. Measuring the available space carefully, including door swings and any fixed fittings nearby, before choosing between these three lengths avoids a mismatch that only becomes obvious after the bath has arrived. Styles within the size range Freestanding baths in this range make a genuine visual statement, finished on all sides and suited to a bathroom with enough clearance to appreciate the shape from multiple angles. Back-to-wall baths offer much of that same sculptural look while sitting flush against one wall, a more space-efficient configuration that also simplifies cleaning, since there's no gap behind the tub to collect dust. Built-in baths, set into a tiled surround or hob, remain the most straightforward and space-smart option, particularly well suited to a family bathroom needing a stable, practical tiled edge nearby. Materials and durability Baths in this range are available in acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, each offering a different balance of weight, heat retention
