Small Bathtubs

Small Bathtubs That Maximise Space Without Compromising Style

Small bathrooms deserve a big design impact. Buildmat’s range of space-saving small bathtubs combines compact proportions with high-end materials and sculptural forms, making them perfect for Australian ensuites, apartments, and tight renovations where space is limited but style isn’t negotiable.

Thoughtfully designed to coordinate with Buildmat’s full range of bathroom accessories, bathroom tapware, and shower heads, these tubs make it easy to create a cohesive look across even the most constrained floor plans.

Design & Placement Options

• Corner Bath: Designed to fit snugly into unused corners, leaving wall space free for vertical accessories like robe hooks or recessed shower shelving. Ideal when paired with wall-mounted mixers or over-bath shower heads.
• Back-to-Wall Bath: Offers the freestanding bath aesthetic with added practicality. Flat rear edges allow for tight wall placement, perfect for floating vanities or wall-hung towel rails nearby.
• Freestanding Bath: A compact centrepiece for narrow bathrooms, offering sculptural impact from every angle. Pairs seamlessly with floor-mounted bath tapware in brushed brass or matte black. Leave one side open for a floating shelf, stool, or towel rail to enhance both function and flow.
• Fluted Bath: A compact showstopper with vertical ribbing that adds texture and movement to small spaces. Perfect for pairing with brushed metal accessories, with room beside for a slim towel ladder or plant stand.

Styles & Profiles

• Petite Oval Bath: Gently curved forms enhance comfort in smaller spaces. Pair with gooseneck bath spouts and soft-close cabinetry for a spa-inspired vibe.
• Compact Slipper Bath: The sloped design offers ergonomic support while allowing tapware to be mounted on the lower end or on an adjacent ledge.
• Rectangular Slimline Bath: Clean sides allow for installation alongside recessed niches or tile-in shelves. Great for modern bathrooms that favour straight lines and clean geometry.

Materials & Finishes

Solid Surface Cast Stone Bath: Warm to the touch and acoustically dense, ideal for quiet, long soaks. Looks especially striking when paired with brushed gunmetal mixers or stone-look benchtops.

Gloss Acrylic: Lightweight and reflective, acrylic baths are perfect for bouncing light around small bathrooms. Combine with chrome tapware and matching gloss cabinetry for a fresh, streamlined aesthetic.

Coordination & Accessories

Complete the space with accessories designed to enhance both function and flow around your small bath:

• Wall-Mounted Tapware: Best for back-to-wall and corner installations where floor space is limited.

• Floor-Mounted Mixers: Ideal beside freestanding or fluted tubs, especially when placed at the tub’s widest access point.

• Over-Bath Shower Heads: Add versatility to combined bath-shower setups by using a rainfall or hand shower option with matching plate finishes.

• Towel Rails & Hooks: Position beside slipper or rectangular tubs for easy reach. Opt for heated options in family bathrooms or colder zones.

• Bathroom Shelves & Niches: Install behind or beside back-to-wall tubs to keep soaps, brushes, and bath oils within arm’s reach without clutter.
