1700mm Baths

How to Choose a 1700mm Bath

A 1700mm bath is a good choice when you have enough bathroom space and want a more generous bathing area. The extra length can suit family bathrooms, master bathrooms and larger renovations where comfort is a higher priority than minimising the bath footprint.

Before choosing, compare the bath width, internal bathing space, installation style, waste position and clearance around nearby fixtures. You can also browse our Bathtub collection for other sizes.

Compare Internal Bathing Space

Not every 1700mm bath feels the same inside. Wall thickness, backrest angle, internal base length and bath depth can all affect usable space and comfort.

Check the internal dimensions as well as the external 1700mm length. If your bathroom is more space-conscious, compare our 1500mm Baths before deciding.

Choose the Right Bath Style

A freestanding bath creates a strong feature and works well where there is enough access around the exposed sides. A back-to-wall bath sits directly against the wall, helping reduce unused gaps and making cleaning around the rear of the bath easier.

Corner models can sit against two adjoining walls and may suit layouts where the bath needs to use a specific corner. Check whether a left- or right-hand orientation is required. Compare our Back to Wall Baths and Corner Baths.

Check Width and Surrounding Clearance

A 1700mm bath needs more than 1700mm of planning space. Check the bath width and the remaining clearance around the vanity, toilet, shower screen and doorway.

Mark the complete footprint on the floor before ordering and consider access for cleaning, installation and getting in and out of the bath.

Plan Tapware, Waste and Overflow Early

Wall-mounted bath tapware can suit back-to-wall and corner designs, while fully freestanding layouts may also work with floor-mounted bath mixers. Check the spout reach and plumbing position before waterproofing and tiling.

Waste and overflow configurations vary between models, so review the individual product specifications before ordering.
