Corner Bath Buying Guide

With their stylish aesthetic and space-saving design, corner baths have long been a popular choice for those seeking to add a bit of luxury to their bathroom. The best corner baths are available in an array of classic and modern designs to suit a variety of different tastes.

These baths are perfect for those operating in limited space, combining a sizeable bathtub with a compact structure that makes them a practical alternative to more conventionally shaped baths. But how do you decide on the right corner bath for your home?

With a myriad of styles, sizes, and designs on the market, deciding on the best bath to buy can feel more challenging than it ought to.

To help, Showers to You has put together this guide to tell you everything you need to know about corner baths. With nearly four decades of experience in the industry, we’re perfectly placed to ensure you have everything you need to find your ideal corner bath.

What Is a Corner Bath?

As the name suggests, corner baths are bath structures that are fitted into a corner of your bathroom. These baths are usually made of tough acrylic but are also available as steel baths.

Corner baths are available in standard and offset styles. Standard corner baths have two sides of equal size, whereas offset options come with one size longer than the other to create a more spacious bathtub. While there are small offset corner baths available, this style is usually seen in larger bathtubs.

These baths come in a variety of different sizes and styles and are available in both single-ended and double-ended designs.

What Are the Benefits of Having a Corner Bath?

There are many reasons why corner baths continue to remain a popular choice amongst homeowners.

Combining luxury and efficiency, these baths offer a lavish bathing experience while taking up significantly less space than larger, freestanding baths. There are few if any bath designs capable of creating such a roomy feel while taking up such limited bathroom space (find out more in our freestanding bath buying guide).

While the economical nature of corner baths makes them appealing for those with smaller bathrooms, these baths can work equally as well in larger homes. This is particularly true with larger, offset corner baths which can make a stylish and comfortable addition to a more spacious bathroom.

These baths come in a wide variety of traditional and modern designs, making it easy to find a corner bath that fits well with the style of your bathroom.

Another advantage of corner baths can be found in their affordability. These baths tend to be more cost-effective than other, larger styles meaning you won’t have to break the bank to bring some luxury to your home.

Whirlpool Corner Baths—Additional Luxury

For those craving ultimate relaxation, then corner whirlpool baths might just be the ideal choice for you. These baths come with built-in jets that mimic the bubbling features of a jacuzzi to soothe your aching muscles.

The curved shape of corner baths makes them the perfect choice for anyone who wants to bring the luxurious experience of a jacuzzi spa to the comfort of their own home.

Are Corner Baths Comfortable?

Despite their compact nature, the best corner baths are surprisingly spacious and therefore provide optimum comfort. This is particularly true with larger, offset corner baths that manage to create the same luxurious feel you’d associate with large, freestanding bathtubs.

Double-ended corner baths are an excellent option for those who like to enjoy a relaxing soak with their partner. With the taps located at the centre of the tub, you’ll both be able to recline and experience the full tranquillity of your new bathtub.

At Showers to You, we have a range of the finest corner bathrooms available from reputable brands like Kartell.

Are Corner Baths Dated?

In many ways, corner baths have been victims of their own longevity. Because this bath style has remained popular for decades, there are some people who consider this style old-fashioned when compared to more recently created styles.

A quick glance at Showers to You, however, will reveal that corner baths are as relevant as ever. With such a variety of styles and designs on offer, corner baths can be an exceptional addition to any modern or contemporary bathroom.

Just like with rectangular baths, manufacturers have produced a wealth of modern corner baths with sleek, curved edges and minimalist lines. These up-to-date takes on a classic design are perfect additions to any bathroom. With so many contemporary designs available, it’s increasingly common to find many modern bathrooms with corner baths.

Don’t be fooled by their timeless nature, corner baths remain a stylish and tasteful choice for your home.

Can You Put a Shower in a Corner Bath?

One of the great strengths of corner baths is their versatility. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that a shower can be added to these types of baths with minimal fuss. All you need to do is fit a curved shower screen on the side of the bath and some shower taps on the wall and you’re good to go.

Installing a shower onto your corner bath can be ideal for those operating in limited space. By having both your bath and shower confined to a single corner, you’ll free up room and prevent your bathroom from feeling cramped.
