Are Aquaestil baths any good? Compared with say B&Q?

mumatome

I am looking for a corner bath for our small bathroom, like the B&Q 1350x1350 Cooke and Lewis model (Strand Luxury model if you have time to search as not able to link yet).

But the reviews are dreadful and apparently whatever you buy from the high street, plumbers will tell you it is rubbish and expensive??!

So what IS a good brand? I just need it to be sturdy and fairly unbreakable, with a glossy finish that doesnt go dull.

So I have seen the Aquaestil Gloria 1400 and Satelit/Satellite 1200 on QSS supplies.

But are these quality or rubbish too? They do come with a 25 year guarantee compared with B&Qs 5 year, but I know that doesnt necessarily mean anything.

I need the bath to have steep sides as we want it mainly for use as a shower, so we need the spray to easily reach the person having the shower - any other ideas appreciated.

I dont like the idea of ordering baths etc sight unseen on the internet.

Just fitted a Trojan bath and liked the look of it's construction, reinforced with additional layers of fiberglass, called Trojancast. Doesn't move an inch (yeah, I know, but you know what I mean) and had steep sides. 25yr guarantee and British made.

tbh i think you are making a mistake, corner baths are much smaller inside & unless you have the room & the water supply (they takes loads of water to fill up) to fit a big one then they are a waste of space, with the size you want when you get in it your knees will be round your ears (no smutty jokes please), if it's only going to be used for showers then fit a big shower tray.

please go around to some bathroom showrooms that have corner baths & get in them then you will see what i mean about space.

they used to be popular in the 80's but now a days most people are ripping them out & going for a normal bath or shower tray due to the probs above.
