"This year, is all about making a great impression" says James Metcalf, Managing Director, Big Bath Company. "Add style and value to your property with a bathroom that hits all the right design notes. The Big Bath Company delivers the complete bathroom experience. The impressive showroom and storage facility houses a wide range of design led baths and basins with a talented team of designers, on hand to create your dream bathroom."

The agape ‘Pear Bath’, designed by Patricia Urquiola, is a freestanding bath using soft organic shapes and is complemented by the use of the tactile Exmar, delivering comfort and luxury. The Pear range also includes a floor standing island basin and WC pans. These are often used in conjunction with the bath or on their own to create a focal point within a cloakroom or Master en suite.

The agape ‘Woodline’ also has real stand out appeal. Created using waterproof and strengthened birch plywood, the bath and basin are available in light, medium or dark oak veneer. A perfect blend of technology and nature, the interior is curved for ultimate comfort and the styled taps stand on a pillar right next to the bath. There are three versions – single, twin (room enough for two) and twin. The tall version is fitted with a bookstand and internal seats, inspired by oriental bathing customs. A matching bench, allows easy access to the tub and can also be used as a seat or a small table.

The agape ‘UFO’ is an incredible circular bath. This extra large bath tub holds up to 880 litres of water and uses industrial components adapted for use in spacious bathrooms. It’s available in two stylish finishes – polished stainless steel or with a white enamel interior and a contrasting black, enamel exterior. The UFO is fitted with an Exmar back rest for total luxurious comfort.

Why not try some lunar luxury with the Duravit ‘Blue Moon’ bath? The Blue Moon looks like a pool, has a water depth of 530mm, yet only takes up an area of 140cm x 140cm. Bathers can immerse themselves in water with mood enhancing coloured lights. Your body is completely surrounded by water with only the back touching the tub, giving you a great feeling of weightlessness. It’s a totally unique bathing experience.

Soft and contoured, the ‘Amalfi’ from Victoria & Albert builds on its rich heritage of recreating period baths in QUARRYCAST ® - a rare volcanic limestone mixed with resin. The elegantly curved sides rise up to an extended backrest for long, luxurious soaks. The freestanding bath comes with columned taps and a hand held shower attachment.
