1. What Is Considered a Large Bath?
The dimensions of a standard bath in the UK are 1700mm (66.93in) in length and 700mm (27.56in) in width.
Any bath larger than 1800mm (70.87in) in length and 800mm (31.47in) in width is considered a large bath.
Large baths are wider and deeper than standard baths, providing a more comfortable and relaxing soak.
2. What Are the Benefits of a Large Bath?
A large bath lends a luxurious feeling, especially in a large bathroom with ample space.
Taller individuals will find the larger dimensions more accommodative and comfortable, enabling them to stretch their legs.
A large bath is also convenient for young kids to bathe together.
3. How Much Space Do I Need for a Large Bath?
The minimum space you’ll need to accommodate a large bath is 6 ft. x 2.66 ft. ~ 16 sq. ft.
Bathroom sizes vary from a minuscule 12 sq. ft. quarter bathrooms to large 160 sq. ft. master bathrooms.
Ideally, a full bathroom of size 60 sq. ft. would be perfect to fit in a large bath.
4. How Do I Choose the Right Large Bath for My Bathroom?
The first consideration is the available space.
If space is a concern, then an alcove-shaped bath would be the best choice. Pick a rectangular bath if space isn’t a concern.
For a contemporary look, an oval or circular bath is a good choice.
Material-wise and budget-wise, acrylic baths are the lightest and cheapest, while natural stone baths are the heaviest and most expensive. Steel baths fall in the medium range.
5. Can a Large Bath Be Used for Two People?
A large bath provides ample soaking space for two people, ensuring a romantic bath experience.
The benefits of two-person bathtubs include more space to soak in and relax, sloping sides and backrests, and a spa-like experience at home.
