A beautiful addition to your home, a freestanding bath will fit in almost anywhere. With conventional and modern roll top designs abounding, they are getting some thing of a revival. And they do not have to be confined to the bathroom: you could put your new addition in your bedroom for a touch of boutique hotel chic.

Traditional roll top baths have graced stately homes for centuries. While your personal bathroom may be a small more humble than that in a listed manor house, you can choose to have one of these striking features grace your period home - and it needn't price the earth! Purchasing a second-hand cast iron bath is one way of establishing your green credentials in the bathroom as well as saving money you can then clean it up and repaint the outdoors, or get it professionally re enamelled, to give the old bath a new lease of life. As the centrepiece of a refitted bathroom, this could look simply beautiful.

If your home is much more 21st century than Victorian era, although, you will find a wide variety of modern freestanding baths available from a range of manufacturers using modern materials and design methods, they are able to diverge from the conventional shape and do some thing a small bit different.

Whether or not your style is traditional or contemporary, you will need to know your terminology before you go shopping. Freestanding baths come in two main lengths and a number of basic designs. The classic roll top is a generously sized bath, while the slipper is a small shorter, being raised at one finish to support your back and neck as you soak. Either of these designs can be either single or double ended: a single ended bath has the taps at one end, and a double ended bath has the taps in the middle, so that the bath can comfortably accommodate two.

If you're short of space, and a slipper bath isn't correct for your room, a 'back-to-wall' style provides you the look of a freestanding bath but with a straight edge which fits up against the wall, saving you vital inches. Alternatively, a corner style will make still better use of space by fitting up neatly against two walls.

A range of materials are accessible too: from traditional cast iron via to modern acrylic or stone resin. Bear in mind, although, that a bath will be very heavy once it is filled with water, and the use of heavier materials will compound this problem: make sure that the joists of your bathroom floor are powerful enough to support the kind of bath you favour.
