The size of a "standard Bath"

16 Posts
Hi everyone
I really hope this isn't a stupid question, but it's driving me mad!
We have a modern two bed semi with a small bathroom. The bathroom itself is exactly as long as the bath. At the moment it has the same basic suite that was fitted when it was built 9 years ago.
We are looking to replace the bathroom suite and I am currently looking around for a good deal.
However when I get my tape measure out I get our current bath to be 1685mm long by 685mm wide. As the bath is literally wall-to-wall in my bathroom I need it to be pretty acurate.
When I am looking at various retailers for a standard sized bath - some have this exact measurement listed, others have 1700 x 700.
This is a stupid question - but are these the same "standard" !!!
Any help gratefully received, thanks in advance

I'm not losing my hair... I'm getting more head!!
could be old 5ft 6 bath but most likely 1700 into wall, as it should be to be fitted properly
1500, 1600, 1700, 1800 are all sizes ive seen over the years.
plus a few very odd ones!
