Back-to-Wall Baths That Optimise Space and Soak Comfort
For ensuites or family bathroom renovations where every centimetre counts, a back-to-wall bathtub combines generous internal depth with a slim external profile, tucking neatly against one wall to free up floor area and circulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
A back-to-wall bath sits flush against the wall with its base concealed, whereas a back-to-wall freestanding bath has a small reveal from the wall, offering a standalone aesthetic while still utilising minimal floor space.
For tiled or panel-front installations, ensure the wall is plumb, waterproofed, and finished before fixing. Freestanding-back-to-wall models need only a level floor and standard concealed waste plumbing.
Wipe acrylic and solid-surface surfaces with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner after each use. Avoid bleach or harsh scrubs to preserve the gloss or matte finish and prevent micro-scratches.
