Bathtubs buying guide

Support and waterproofing

Baths must be supported per the manufacturer's requirements — many need a mortar bed or a proper support frame, not just the feet. Waterproofing has to be continuous under and around the bath before it is set, because there is no access afterwards. Setting a bath before the waterproofing is signed off is a mistake that only shows up later.

Floor loading

A filled bath plus occupant is a substantial concentrated load — commonly well over 300kg for a large freestanding bath. On a timber floor or an upper level, check the structure can carry it, particularly with freestanding baths where the load concentrates on small feet rather than spreading along a supported rim. This is a question for the builder or engineer, not an assumption.

Acrylic versus stone composite

Acrylic is light, warm to the touch, holds heat reasonably well and is repairable if scratched. Stone composite feels substantially more solid, holds heat longer and looks better in a high-end fit-out, but it is heavy enough to need two or more people and careful floor loading consideration. Acrylic suits most renovations; composite suits feature freestanding installations where the weight is manageable.

Waste access

Freestanding baths need the waste and overflow connected below floor level, and once the bath is set there is no access. Confirm the exact waste position from the bath's template drawing before the slab or floor is closed. For inset baths, provide an access panel where the trap sits — a bath with no service access means cutting tiles when something eventually leaks.

Frequently asked questions

Does a freestanding bath need floor reinforcement?
A filled bath plus occupant is a substantial point load. Check the floor structure, particularly on timber floors and upper levels.
Can a bath be installed after tiling?
Inset baths are usually set before wall tiling so the tile can run down over the rim. Freestanding baths go in after the floor is finished.
Do I need an access panel?
For inset and back-to-wall baths, yes — the trap needs to be reachable without demolition.
