Which L shaped bath? £200 bath or £800 bath?

I need a new shower bath and was looking at a couple of acrylic ones...

A Tissino Lorenzo at £567 for bath, shower screen and side panel:

A Cleargrean ecosquare at £770 for bath, shower screen and side panel:

But then this pops up from plumworld. A Ceramica bath, shower screen and side panel for £200!

Will I be able to tell the difference in these baths? Should I just get the cheapest and spend the savings on nicer taps/ shower?

Whichever you choose make sure it's comfortable to bathe in. Our inherited one has the shower at one end and taps in the middle. If you sit at the wider end it's uncomfortable on your back. If you sit at the narrow end it's not wide enough. I'm a 10/12 and just about fit. I can't wait to get rid of it.

I really can't get excited about baths... I went for a cheap Victoria plum P shaped bath and it seems to be doing the job just fine for me.

Doesn't seem cheap or flimsy when standing or sitting in it.

The only thing was the side and end panel basically had to be cut to fit and were a bit tricky so the fitter had to muck about with them.

what id want to know is the thickness of the acrylic...3mm i would say is too thin and liable to warp/move etc. ideally look for 5mm plus

Weebitty · 15/07/2017 18:20

we went for 8mm... nice and sturdy

We have a P Bath, but its rounded not square. We bought it from B&Q about 10 years ago. I'd say go for the cheaper one. Depends if it fits with the rest of the bathroom fittings tbh.
