Think of space and budget first. The general rule of bathtubs is a freestanding bath will take up more little space and more money than a built-in number.

Combined bath and shower – This is suit for ones have tight space. Think of who will use the new bathtubs and in which way. Shower is determined as a bathroom essential and you may want bathtub for chill out moments or for your small children. So, if you have little area in bathroom, to combine showering and bathing in one functional space is your good choice. In this case, a P-shaped bath, which has a curved shower screen and a larger, anti-slip end for showering in is your best one.

Separate bath and shower – You may not spend time in bathtub everyday if you have a separate shower. This mean you can indulge in something a little less functional. Think of whether you like to sit, or to lie down and soak. Ask yourself that do you have children to use a new bathtub, do you appreciate room for two, or do you want an extra-deep tub. In these cases, you might want to choose a double-ended bath where no one has to sit on the plug or in front of the tap.

Test first – Bathtubs are big investment, so do not pay money on them as long as you are ensured that your new bathroom items will serve you as well after buying and installation. Deciding what is best is a very personal thing. A metre-deep Japanese tub with dead straight sides is a totally different bathing experience to a low-slung, contemporary bath where you are nearly lying horizontal. To know which one is the best for you, it is necessary to get in and see how it feels.
