Back to Wall Baths

Back-to-wall baths are incredibly popular in Australia, as they offer the perfect combination of space-saving benefits with architectural style. If you have limited space in your bathroom, a back-to-wall bath is an excellent option, as it is placed flush against the wall, freeing up valuable floor space.

Compact and practical

For tighter layouts, a 1500mm back-to-wall freestanding bath offers comfort and design without taking over the room. These baths are easy to clean, with no awkward gaps behind or beneath. If you’re upgrading a family bathroom, a 1700mm back-to-wall freestanding bath provides a sleek focal point and supports wall-mounted tapware for a clutter-free finish.

Many models, including the back-to-wall baths with overflow, offer a safe and functional setup that prevents spills, especially useful in homes with kids or high-traffic bathrooms.

These tubs work well with mixers, fixed spouts and shower-over-bath setups. Their flush edge helps manage splash zones, while the deeper interior allows for relaxing soaks without needing the footprint of a full freestanding bath.

If you’re torn between styles, back-to-wall bath tubs blend the functionality of an inset bath with the sculptural appeal of a freestanding model, making them a smart middle ground.

FAQs

How is a back-to-wall bath different from a freestanding or inset bath?

A back-to-wall bathtub sits flush against a wall like an inset bath but retains the sculptural look of a freestanding tub. It saves space, is easier to clean and doesn’t require a hob or full surround, making it easier to install.

Are back-to-wall baths suitable for small bathrooms?

Yes, especially compact models like the 1500mm back-to-wall freestanding bath, which maximise space without compromising comfort or style.

Can a back-to-wall bath be installed against any wall?

In most cases, yes. These tubs are designed for standard framed or tiled walls, provided there’s suitable plumbing access and wall support.
