How to choose the right Back To Wall Bathtubs

Back to wall bathtubs combine the visual weight of a freestanding tub with the space efficiency of a built-in bath, since the rear of the tub sits flush against the wall instead of requiring clearance on all sides. Before choosing a size, measure the available wall run and confirm your waste and overflow point matches the tub's outlet position — tubs in this range span 1400mm to 1700mm in length, with straight and corner options for different room shapes.

Corner-configured back to wall tubs suit bathrooms where a straight run isn't available, tucking into a corner while still presenting a freestanding front profile. Check whether you need an overflow: tubs without overflow give a cleaner internal line but rely on careful filling, while overflow models add a safety margin against overfilling. Most tubs in this category are finished in gloss or matte white to suit a range of tiling and fixture choices.
