Product Information

Full details

The Balterley Modern Freestanding Slipper Bath is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to create a high-impact, contemporary focal point in their bathroom. Featuring a striking black finish and a double-ended, sculpted design, it offers a sophisticated aesthetic alongside a raised backrest for enhanced ergonomic support during long soaks. While its bold appearance elevates any space, prospective buyers should note that its generous 1750mm x 730mm footprint requires significant floor space and professional installation to ensure proper plumbing alignment.

FAQs

Does this bath include taps?

No, this model does not include taps. You will need to purchase a floor-standing or wall-mounted tap separately.

Can I drill tap holes into this bath?

No, this bath is designed without tap holes to maintain its minimalist aesthetic and should not be modified.

What are the dimensions of the bath?

The bath measures 1750mm in length, 730mm in width, and 860mm in height.

Is the material prone to cracking?

The bath is made from high-quality, durable acrylic which is resistant to cracking under normal bathroom conditions.

Is the exterior finish easy to maintain?

Yes, but because of the deep black color, it is recommended to dry the exterior surface after cleaning to prevent lime-scale buildup.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the floor after use

Check that the waste fitting is properly tightened and the floor is level.

Visible water marks on the black surface

Wipe the bath dry with a microfiber cloth after every use to prevent mineral deposits.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking contemporary black finish for a modern look
  • Ergonomic slipper backrest for improved comfort
  • Double-ended design offers flexibility in orientation
  • Acrylic material provides superior thermal insulation
  • Large dimensions accommodate a full-body soak

Cons

  • Requires significant floor space for a freestanding installation
  • Black finish may show water spots more clearly than white
  • Floor-standing or wall-mounted taps required due to lack of tap holes
  • Heavier footprint compared to standard inset tubs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of this freestanding bath should be handled by a professional plumber to ensure the waste connection is secure, particularly since the central waste position requires precise floor preparation.

Compatibility:

  • Requires floor-standing or wall-mounted taps (no tap ledge available).
  • Ensure floor structure is reinforced to support the weight of the bath when filled with water and a bather.

Care Instructions:

  • Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with mild soapy water for regular cleaning.
  • Avoid harsh scouring pads or chemicals that may dull the black finish.
  • Regularly check the seal around the waste to prevent moisture buildup underneath the tub.
