A shower bath is the perfect solution for bathrooms where space is limited but comfort still matters. Combining the practicality of a shower with the relaxation of a bath, shower baths are ideal for family bathrooms, guest bathrooms, apartments and compact en-suites.
At Bella Bathrooms & Tiles, we offer a wide range of shower baths in different sizes, shapes and finishes to suit both modern and classic bathroom designs. Whether you are renovating an existing bathroom or specifying a new build, our team can help you choose the right bath, screen, mixer, waste and tile combination to create a practical and stylish bathroom space.
Shower baths are especially popular because they give you the flexibility of two functions in one. You can enjoy a quick everyday shower while still having the option of a relaxing bath when needed. They are also a smart choice for families with children, rental properties and homes where resale value matters.
Our range includes straight baths, back-to-wall baths, freestanding-look baths and baths that can be paired with fixed or hinged bath screens. We also supply matching taps, mixers, hand showers, shower panels, niches, heated towel rails and bathroom accessories to complete the look.
Whether your style is modern, minimalist, classic, Japandi, industrial or luxury hotel-inspired, Bella can help you turn your bathroom vision into reality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What screen options work with a built-in shower bath?
The Angel 1700 pairs with both fixed bath screens and hinged folding screens depending on your layout. A fixed screen offers a clean architectural look and is ideal when the bath sits against a wall with no walkway interference. A hinged screen folds flat against the wall when not in use, giving better access for cleaning around the bath edge. Both options are available in clear or frosted glass.
What waste size does the Angel built-in bath use?
The Angel uses a standard 40mm bath waste with overflow, the universal South African specification for built-in baths. You can choose a chrome, brushed nickel, or matt black waste set to match your shower mixer and tapware. Our team supplies waste sets alongside the bath so the finish coordinates perfectly with the rest of your tapware specification.
Will my South African mains pressure run a shower over the bath?
Most South African homes operate in the 1-5 bar pressure range, which comfortably runs a shower-over-bath installation. For a strong, consistent shower experience, pair the Angel with a mixer rated for your specific pressure and choose a shower head matched to your flow rate. If you have a gravity-fed low-pressure geyser, a pump may be needed to deliver a comfortable shower flow.
Can I see shower baths and screens together at the Kramerville showroom?
Yes. Our Kramerville showroom displays shower baths alongside compatible screens, mixers, and accessories so you can plan the full installation in one visit. South Africa's largest working shower display is set up next door, giving you a real sense of flow, spray pattern, and water feel before you commit.
