Freestanding baths look nice and modern in the bathroom. The bath itself can be more expensive and there may be extra plumbing needed to conceal the pipework. Freestanding baths often take up more space and if the bath is made of stone, your bathroom floor needs to be strong enough to handle the extra weight. There are many styles of baths on the market, so when making your choice, test for comfort by sitting in it to ensure the size and depth are right for you.
