What Makes a Freestanding Bathtub Worth It?
A freestanding bathtub isn’t just for high-end bathroom designs. They’re practical, comfortable, surprisingly easy to fit into many types of layouts, and meet Australian standards. So what can you find in our range?
- Acrylic Freestanding Bathtubs — Known for being lightweight yet strong. These tubs hold heat well and are easy to keep clean, no need for special polishing or sealing.
- Freestanding Oval Bathtubs — A popular choice for softer and curved layouts. They’re quite easy to position and will appear visually balanced.
- Square and Rectangular Models — Perfect for clean-lined bathrooms or for pairing with feature walls, alcoves, or corner placements.
- Small Freestanding Bathtubs — You don’t need a mansion to have a bath that feels good. They are designed for townhouses, units, and tighter ensuite spaces.
- Large Freestanding Bathtubs — These tubs are deep-soaking options built for those who want more than just a quick rinse. They’re great for full-body comfort or sharing with young kids.
- Back-to-wall Baths — These tubs sit flush against a wall, and gives you the look of a freestanding bath with the space-saving benefits of a built-in.
Things to Know Before You Buy a Freestanding Bathtub
It’s not just about picking a freestanding bathtub that looks nice. Before ordering one, consider:
- Installation space. You will need access to the waste outlet underneath the tub. If you’re replacing an old built-in bath, check with your plumber for recommendations and help if an entirely new set of plumbing is needed.
- Ease of access and clearance. Since freestanding bathtubs don’t sit flush against the wall, you’ll want to leave a bit of space around them for easy cleaning and maintenance.
- Matching fixtures. Freestanding bathtubs often look best with floor-mounted mixers or extended wall mixers. Make sure your plumbing setup also matches the interior style that you’re going for.
- What it’s made of. Consider the aesthetics of the different materials and what’s needed to maintain them. For instance, acrylic freestanding bathtubs don’t crack easily, are lighter to transport, and are far more affordable than stone or ceramic.
- Shape and style. Pick a shape that matches how you’ll use the tub and fits the interior design style of your bathroom.
- Freestanding bathtub weight. By this, we mean the weight of the tub when it’s filled with water. Make sure your bathroom floor can support the weight, especially if it’s located on the second floor of the area.

Frequently Asked Questions — Freestanding Bathtubs
How to install a freestanding bathtub?
Most freestanding tubs are installed on tiled floors with plumbing that connects through the base or underneath the bath. You need to make sure that there’s enough access to the waste and that the bath sits level. To make sure everything is installed smoothly and correctly, we recommend getting a licensed plumber to handle installation.
Do freestanding bathtubs need to be fixed to the floor?
Most of the time, no. When they’re full of water, freestanding tubs are heavy enough to stay in place. All our models have adjustable feet or brackets to help with stability, and are siliconed at the bottom.
Are freestanding baths good for small bathrooms?
If you choose the right size, yes. We stock freestanding bathtubs that can fit smaller spaces but are deep enough to provide a good soak. We recommend going for slimline models or oval-shaped tubs since they take up less visual space and leave more room to move around.
How much water can a freestanding bathtub hold?
It differs by model, but standard freestanding tubs between 140-220 litres. Larger or deep-soaking bathtubs can hold even more.
Can you use wall-mounted taps with a freestanding bathtub?
No, you can’t use wall-mounted taps with freestanding tubs because of plumbing alignment, installation complexity, maintenance risks, and practical limitations.
Need a Hand Finishing Your Bathroom?
Freestanding bathtubs are only part of the big picture — there’s tapware, drainage, and proper waterproofing to think about (which you can find in our complete bathroom collection).
