Sourcing a 1400mm bath

I'm looking for a 1400mm bath, but in a wider size - preferably 80mm or bigger. I've found one Duravit but hoping there are more out there I don't know about. Any ideas?
(This isn't a discussion about whether to get a 1400mm bath, I know they're small, but it will work for us and the room....I just need a wider one than standard 700mm).
Thanks.

    I know you said this on the other thread too, but please reconsider!

    You talked about resale value being important, and I'm afraid that a house with three shower rooms but no bath that you can actually enjoy a bath in is going to put a fair few people off!

    If you still want to go ahead, I found a fair few just by googling "1400x800/900 bath"

    Once again, this isn't a question as to our decision to install a 1400mm bath, merely about sourcing a suitable bath.


    Did you actually find any by a google search? I can only find a single Duravit, and some Japanese style deep tubs. Googling only brings up shower screens or shower enclosures in these dimensions.

    Yes I did, good luck in your search.

    Other than a Duravit? I've tried every combination of search terms for the last two weeks and found only one model, so would be very surprised if you've found others....

    When you imply that I'm lying, I am not inclined to help you.

    Good luck in your search.

    I asked for advice on sourcing a particular bath, you offered unasked for advice on the choice of bath I'd made. Twice. On two different posts.


    You then stated you'd found suitable baths within a matter of minutes, when despite multiple searches and phonecalls I've been unable to. Obviously you're not willing to share these baths you've so mysteriously found, so I can only assume you are unable to provide information on them because you have, in fact, made them up.


    Thanks so much for your utterly unhelpful posts, do feel free not to comment in future.

    I'd go for a bigger bath personally.

    Hope that helps :-)

    As well as telling me what to post (when my opinion was only intended to benefit you, what good does it do me to warn a stranger they might be devaluing their property?) you decided that rather than asking nicely if I could share what I'd found you would instantly question whether I was making it up ("Did you actually find any by google search?").

    If you do change your mind and ask nicely, I shall happily share.

    You're doing it wrong. The search phrase given by the other poster returns 1400*800 baths you can purchase. None of them are cheap, mind.

    Have you considered phoning up some bath manufacturers?
