Bathroom Furniture - Baths and Screens

[Deleted User 298457]

Hi folks,

I am looking to get my "shower bath" ordered. Has anybody got any personal/firm recommendations on baths?

I am compromising by having a shower bath - but wanted something "as least worst as possible" when it comes to screens, curtains etc.

Also the baths themselves, seem to range from a fiver to $lol.

Currently considering:

Cooke & Lewis Gloss White Modern Acrylic Rectangular Shower Bath (L)1700mm (W)750mm

This modern showerbath from Cooke & Lewis is designed to give you more room for showering, but also to save room in your bathroom with its ergonomic design and narrow width

Better bathrooms are awful avoid.

Id go with drench for most sanitary ware (they stock more premium branded stuff eg 10mm screens)

I went with below previous for built in cabinets also and they were good

Are they really that bad?

They have the Grohe Bau toilet I need for 130 and they have the bath for 500. Yes it's 40 quid for postage which is annoying, but victorian plumbing want quite a bit more.

I can't find the freestanding shower bath I've been told we need anywhere else

Neither of us are fans of the glass tbh - mainly because it locks off half of the bath semi-permanently (annoying if you are bathing a little one!).

Also, curtains go longer than the glass.

I've asked for wife intervention on bath choices and shes said she'll be ok with the J bath regular - phew. I was going to go freestanding j bath and then had palpitations at getting the waste to seal perfectly with no access etc.

This isn't the forever bathroom so I think an eye on cost is reasonable!

Think I've decided on:

Towel Rad - (I may get a plinth heater in there as well, TBC) - it is a north facing room external room so VERY cold.

Just debating shower - I can spend ~300 on a dual head thermostatic mixer and chase the pipes, or spend ~700 on a dual head where you just drop from the ceiling (https://www.screwfix.com/p/mira-act...hrome-thermostatic-digital-mixer-shower/930kj). The install effort saving is pretty monumental --- but how hard is bending a 90 in a copper pipe and chasing the wall?
