A freestanding bath is the ultimate bathroom statement — a standalone bathtub that sits away from the wall and becomes the centrepiece of the room. From classic roll top designs with chrome lion's paw feet to sleek contemporary double-end baths and sculptural fluted designs, our freestanding bath range spans every style and budget. We stock freestanding baths from BG Bathrooms, Aqua Elegance, Scudo, and BC Designs, from £519 to over £4,000 for premium copper finishes.
Types of Freestanding Bath
- Double end baths — sloped at both ends for comfortable reclining from either side; the most popular freestanding style
- Single end baths — one sloped end and one flat end; classic silhouette
- Slipper baths — raised back at one end for a more upright, luxurious reclining position
- Roll top baths — Victorian-inspired rolled rim; pairs beautifully with freestanding or wall-mounted taps and chrome feet
- Fluted baths — contemporary textured exterior for a designer, spa-inspired look

Things to Check Before Buying
- Tap compatibility — most freestanding baths require freestanding floor-mounted taps or wall-mounted bath taps; check whether your chosen bath has tap holes or requires a separate tap
- Waste & overflow — check the waste position (central or offset) and ensure it's compatible with your floor waste and trap
- Floor strength — a filled freestanding bath can weigh 300–500kg; check floor loading capacity if installing upstairs
- Room size — allow at least 600mm of clear space around all sides of the bath for comfortable access and cleaning
- Feet & base — some baths include chrome lion's paw feet; others include a solid base or plinth; check what's included

Frequently Asked Questions
What taps do I need for a freestanding bath?
This depends on whether your bath has tap holes. Baths with 2 tap holes can use deck-mounted bath taps fitted through the bath. Baths without tap holes require either freestanding floor-mounted taps (which stand independently next to the bath) or wall-mounted bath taps. Check your chosen bath's specification carefully before selecting taps.
Can a freestanding bath be installed upstairs?
Yes, but you should check the floor loading capacity first. A large freestanding bath filled with water and occupied can weigh 400–500kg or more. In older properties or timber-framed floors, it's advisable to consult a structural engineer or builder before installation.
Do freestanding baths come with feet?
It varies by model. Some baths (particularly roll top and slipper styles) include chrome lion's paw feet as standard. Others sit on a solid base or plinth. Always check the product listing for what's included — feet and wastes are not always supplied.
Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?
Yes — most of our freestanding baths can be ordered even when showing as out of stock, and we'll fulfil your order as soon as stock is available. If you need a specific delivery timeframe, please contact us at customerservice@bubblegumbathrooms.co.uk before ordering.
