Frequently Asked Questions
What defines a classic bath, and which silhouettes do you stock?
A classic bath is a freestanding bath with a traditional silhouette, typically a slipper, double-ended, or roll-top profile on cast feet or a moulded plinth. The Devon and Clifton slipper baths in this collection sit at 1680mm with raised back rests for reclined soaking; the Richmond and Nungari are double-ended at 1675mm to 1800mm for two-person use. Polished feet in white or black give you the option to anchor the bath to your scheme. The silhouette suits both Victorian restorations and modern bathrooms where the bath is the design centrepiece.
What material are these baths made from?
The classic baths in this collection are constructed from reinforced acrylic with a glass-fibre backing, which combines the warmth and weight of the traditional shape with manageable weight for installation. Acrylic retains heat better than cast iron in the long soak and is far easier to move into upstairs bathrooms during installation. The surface is non-porous and resists staining from bath salts, oils, and coloured products. Care is straightforward with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. The result is a freestanding bath that looks the part and is practical to live with.
How much floor space do I need around a classic bath?
Allow 200mm minimum behind and beside the bath for cleaning access, with at least 600mm of clear floor in front for stepping in and out comfortably. A 1680mm slipper bath ideally sits in a room of at least 2.2m by 2.8m to feel proportioned, while the 1800mm Nungari needs slightly more breathing room. The freestanding format works best with a wall-mounted basin and toilet to keep the floor visually clear. Our consultants regularly plan classic bath layouts against client floor plans at Kramerville and can advise on the best position relative to windows and tapware.
What waste and tapware specification do I need?
Classic freestanding baths use a 40mm bath waste connection, plumbed through the floor or wall depending on the bath model. Tapware options include a freestanding floor-mounted bath mixer with hand shower, a wall-mounted bath filler, or a deck-mounted set on a separate stand. Floor-mounted is the cleanest visual route but requires the rough-in to be set before the screed is poured. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles stocks compatible tapware across all three configurations and our team will confirm the right combination for the bath you choose.
What warranty support is in place?
Classic baths in this collection carry manufacturer warranty cover against material and structural defects in normal residential use, administered locally through the South African distributor. Acrylic shells are covered for a published term, with metal feet and any fitted hardware supported separately. Damage from abrasive cleaners, hot wax candles placed on the rim, and improper installation sits outside cover. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles retains your purchase records and handles any claim directly with the distributor on your behalf.
