D-shaped bath but one end only

TomsMom

I'm re-thinking our decision to have a corner bath.

I like the D-shaped baths but as we don't have a long wall to put it on I want one with a D-shape at one end and the other end the normal rectangle shape that goes into a corner.

Does anyone know who does a 1600mm or 1700mm one.

We went out with our builder today to a place where he gets a discount and they had one but the reinforced acrylic one (Carronite) with panel was almost £600 plus VAT :eek:

We've previously had 8mm acrylic which we've always been happy with and most acrylic baths seem to be 5mm, hence the interest in the Carronite one but we don't particularly want to completely blow the budget.

PS - I don't even know what they're called so am finding it hard to google them.

I could be wrong but I think they are called "shower baths" ?

Thanks Cleo, but the shower baths seem to be the P-shaped ones where the shower end is wider than the other end.

The D-shaped ones don't have a wider end, they're more of a rectangular bath with one end rounded.

Ideal Standard have 1700mm Idealform (750mm) and Spacemaker (700mm) baths in their Studio range.

Right, found a picture now so this is what I'm looking for.

I've been quoted £702.65 for this bath in Carronite (the reinforced stuff) for the bath and panel :eek:

Anyone know where I can get a similar bath, no bigger than 1700mm, for a better price, preferably a reinforced one. I'm finding it really hard to find this particular shape bath.

Ahh, so that's what you want...
Kaldewei do a pressed steel bath in that shape called "Centro Duo". It's as expensive as the Carronite though, so I guess that doesn't help
