Short Bath Recommendations (stylish if possible)

[Notsuchafattynow]

Even though we've extended our bathroom, we still need a short bath.

I love the egg shaped baths, but can't give it the room it needs, so trying to get the look but with a back to the wall option.

But how enjoyable is a bath in a short tub?

Have you considered a sitting bath/Japanese bath? You can enjoy a nice deep bath without too much water or losing half your bathroom. Like this:

I don't have one in my house, but have used something similar on holiday.

I was just about to say Japanese bath!

We have a short bath (1200) purely for the kids. Absolutely diabolical for adults. I'm of v average height and it is not relaxing at all. Fortunately I prefer to shower!

We have a Japanese soaking tub and I absolutely love it and will definitely miss it when we move house. It’s so relaxing and the water stays hot

I have an omnitub. Very comfortable.

Redid a tiny bathroom which had a huge cornerbath/shower combo overtaking the room.
Only 1 person could stand in bathroom at the time
Replaced it with a short Kaldewei 1400mm tub.

Not that you would, floorspace was now enough for 3.
Tub long enough to lie in, obvs you couldn't stretch your legs like in a 1800mm one but still enough to relax in.
Tap end had a non slip treatment plus big overhead showerhead+handheld smaller one to rinse hair etc ( Hans Grohe ).
Best compromise for a very tall family, tiny space.

What about a short slipper bath? Very stylish 😎

I like the idea of a slipper bath! I'll show my plumber today.

Thanks for the Japanese tub suggestions l, they look great, but just not the aesthetic I was going for.

Thanks all 🙌

How short is short? Mine is a freestanding 1550/1600 I think so not very long. I do find it's a bit wider though which makes up for it a bit.

No more than 1500, have seen some slipper baths at 1400. Am going to go and sit in one at a showroom this week.

This is short and deep and freestanding

We have an 1195cm tub (like the slipper bath above) which works great for us as infrequent bathers (to clarify, we shower!) but I don’t think anyone who wants regular baths and is over 5ft 5 would like it 🙈
Company we bought it from are unfortunately winding down their operations otherwise I would 100% recommend them
