Back to Wall Bath

Why choose a back to wall bath?

A back to wall freestanding bath is great for people who want a clean and elegant bath, but have limited space. Arova’s collection of freestanding back to wall bath tubs offers the sophisticated and luxe style of a freestanding bath. 

Alongside this, this design will save space and money, as well as be easier to maintain. Sitting flush against the wall, the tub prevents movement and makes the bathroom appear bigger with more floor space. 

Back to wall bath tubs are also easier to clean, with no difficult to reach parts. Because of this, your bathtub is easy to maintain, with minimal cleaning or repairs. All plumbing components are completely hidden, so visible pipes will not ruin the look of your freestanding back to wall bath. In Australia, the back to wall bath continues to be a timeless, artistic, and attractive centrepiece in any bathroom.

What are some features of Arova’s back to wall baths?

At Arova, we specialise in premium-quality bathrooms at an affordable price. All of our back to wall baths undergo strict quality control and are constructed with top-quality materials. These include sanitary grade acrylic, which offers exceptional strength, scratch resistance, and colour longevity. Additionally, back to wall tubs are reinforced with sturdy stainless-steel frames, ensuring both durability and longevity. These tubs also boast a solid back, boosting both strength and heat retention.

Frequently Asked Questions: 

▼

What is a back to wall bath?

A back to wall bath is a type of bath that is designed to be installed with one or more sides sitting flush against a wall. The remaining sides around the bath give the appearance of a freestanding bath while leaving the plumbing concealed and saving valuable floor space. The back to wall bathtub is an excellent option for those who have limited space in their bathroom, want an easy installation process, or are looking to create a more open and spacious bathroom.

◄

Do you tile behind a back to wall bath?

To finish your wall behind your new back-to-wall freestanding tub, you can choose between a variety of coverings, including tiles. Tiling behind your bath is the most popular option, protecting your wall from water splashes.

Alternatively, other options include waterproof paint and water-resistant wallpaper, which allow you to easily change your wall colour in the future and provide a choice of fun colours and patterns that you may otherwise struggle to find.

Acrylic and PVC panels are also an option for tiling behind your back-to-wall bath for those on a tighter budget. These are durable and budget-friendly options that can easily replicate often expensive tilings such as marble.

◄

How do you install a back to wall bath?

The back to wall bath is installed similarly to a freestanding bath, except for sitting flush against a wall. We recommend using a licensed plumber to install our back to wall bathtubs, to ensure it complies with relevant regulations and to prevent damage to your bath and water damage to your house.

◄

What is the difference between a back to wall bath and freestanding bath?

Our back-to-wall baths provide a few advantages over the more conventional freestanding bath. By being fixed securely against a wall, the back to wall bath allows for plumbing fixtures to be totally hidden. This is slightly trickier with a freestanding bath, and will usually require detailed planning before the installation process begins.

On top of this, the back to wall bath saves space while creating the same luxurious and stylish design as a freestanding bath. It is also easier to clean, with no tricky crevices to clean around. This ensures your bath will always be well-maintained, attractive, and clean.

By sitting flush against the wall, the back-to-wall bath style also prevents any possible movement from the bathtub. This is an issue the freestanding bath will be otherwise prone to.

Arova provides a range of freestanding baths, which you can browse both online and in our showrooms. Explore our range today to find your ideal bath.

◄

What type of waste should I use for a back to wall bath?

The 40mm pop up and pull out safety short tail wastes are most suitable for our back to wall bathtubs. Arova provides a wide variety of suitable bath wastes through the MICA range in a range of colours and styles, such as:

• Gunmetal,
• Chrome,
• Black,
• Brushed gold,
• Brushed nickel.

Alternatively, we also wastes in colours white, brushed bronze, graphite, aged brass, and nickel through the NERO range. You can shop online or visit our showroom today to find the perfect waste for your new back to wall bath tub.

◄

What is the difference between a corner bath and back to wall bath?

Perfect for those looking to save valuable floor space or centre other bathroom pieces, the corner bath is fixed to a corner of the bathroom. The back to wall freestanding bath is attached to one wall, with the remaining sides giving the impression of a freestanding bath. This design choice not only conserves room but also provides a unique and luxurious appearance.

The wider rim of the corner bath also provides added versatility. You can add bathroom accessories such as soap, rubber duckies, or a cheeky glass of wine for total relaxation. The back to wall freestanding bath, positioned against the wall, also allows for unique tap positionings and some accessories.

At Arova, we understand the importance of combining functionality with aesthetic appeal, and our back-to-wall baths, including the versatile back-to-wall corner baths, are crafted to meet these requirements seamlessly. Explore our range to discover the perfect fit for your bathroom needs.
