Recommendations for a bath

Thank you everyone.  I have been looking at the Carron profile bath. Only issue is that I keep thinking that we need grips 🙄 
I will give the Kaldewei one a look.  I am a bath lover so want to get the right one
1700 x 750 so the B&Q bath is too small. 
Thanks again.

Carron do ones with grips.

We had a Kaldewei in our last house and currently have another sitting in the lounge waiting to be installed in the bathroom.

@Doozergirl we don't have a panel yet, do you think we could use a Carron one?

Probably, I don't think they're made to measure.

 I was in my Kaldewei this morning. I'm knocking-on a bit at 73, but although I don't need the grips it's nice to have them, if only for a little parallel bars practice.

Seriously, although it wasn't something we gave any thought to in our last bathroom installation, suddenly the extra bit of steadiness makes a world of difference.

I have a Carron Integra on order 
we have had grips on the bath in our old house for 25 years, I would probably never get out of one without them now 😀😂

Good. I haven't got shares in Kaldewei and Doozer knows more about baths than I do, so it's a decision well made.

Our new bath doesn't have grips on, but we've got Keuco handrails in our existing inherited shower room (being converted back to a bathroom) which will be repurposed with a single grip on the wall just above the bath.

As a side issue, I'd really recommend having some decent quality handrails in your bathroom, even if you're young and fit. OH could not have had a shower last year when he bust his achilles without the handrails, and I cracked 2 vertabrae and my skull in a fall recently, again the handrails in the shower and next to the loo were invaluable. Accidents can happen to anybody at any time. The Keuco handrails are expensive, but they blend in with the chrome bathroom fittings so you don't notice them as being old folks adaptations.

Thank you for this post, I'm saving up to get my bathroom done and will definitely get grips and handrails.

Thanks everyone. Hopefully it’s delivered soon,  before the attic stairs are fitted !
