TAILS’ SHOWER BATH TIP

Why Choose a 1700mm L-Shaped Shower Bath?

A 1700mm L-shaped shower bath combines a generous bathing length with a wider squared section for showering. The enlarged end gives you more standing room than a conventional bath while keeping the bath and shower within one footprint. Before choosing a model, check the complete shape against the available space in your bathroom.

Check the Complete Bath Footprint

Measure length, width and projection

Check the exact length

The 1700mm measurement is the nominal bath length, but always use the dimensions shown for the individual product when planning the installation. This is especially important when the bath will sit between finished walls, tiles, boxing or fitted furniture.

Allow for the wider end

The squared showering section projects further into the room than the narrower part of the bath. Measure this widest point carefully and check the clearance from nearby sanitaryware, furniture and doors.

Compare internal space

Baths with the same nominal length can have different internal proportions. Rim width, backrest shape and the showering section can all affect usable bathing space, so compare the technical drawing as well as the external measurements.

Check the Bath Orientation

Position the showering end correctly

Use the product plan

L-shaped baths are available in different orientations, so check the plan-view drawing for the exact product before ordering. Make sure the widened section sits on the correct side for your shower wall and room layout. If orientation is your main requirement, browse our left-hand L-shaped shower baths or right-hand L-shaped shower baths.

Plan the Showering Area

Match the bath and screen

Check screen compatibility

Choose a shower screen that suits the bath profile, rim and installation. Browse our L-shaped shower bath screens, then check the stated dimensions and compatibility against the exact bath you plan to buy.

Leave comfortable access

Think about how you will enter the bath once the screen, taps and surrounding furniture are installed. The widened end should provide useful showering room without making movement around the bathroom unnecessarily tight.

Is Another 1700mm Bath Better?

Compare the layout you actually need

L-shaped

Choose an L-shaped bath when the squared wider end and extra standing room suit how you plan to shower. It is particularly useful when one installation needs to serve both regular bathing and over-bath showering.

P-shaped

A 1700mm P-shaped shower bath also gives you a wider showering section, but uses a curved outer profile instead of the squared projection of an L-shaped bath.

Conventional bath

If you do not need the enlarged showering section, a 1700mm single ended bath gives you a more conventional footprint at the same nominal length.

Check What Comes With the Bath

Confirm components before ordering

Screen and shaped panel

Do not assume the shower screen or shaped bath panel is included with every bath. Check the individual product listing carefully so you know which components are supplied and which matching items need to be purchased separately.

Taps, waste and fittings

Check the tap-hole arrangement, waste requirements, supports and other installation details for the model you choose. Planning the fittings alongside the bath helps avoid compatibility problems once installation has started.

DESIGNER’S NOTE

Mark the full L-shaped footprint on the bathroom floor before ordering, including the widest point of the showering end. This gives you a much clearer idea of how the bath will interact with the basin, toilet, furniture, doorway and main walking space.

1700mm L-Shaped Shower Bath FAQs

Common questions before ordering

What is a 1700mm L-shaped shower bath?

It is a shower bath with a nominal length of around 1700mm and a wider squared section at one end. The enlarged area provides additional standing room for an over-bath shower while retaining a full bathing section.

Are all 1700mm L-shaped baths the same width?

No. Overall width, shower-end projection, rim proportions and internal dimensions can vary between models. Use the individual product drawing to check the complete footprint rather than relying on the 1700mm length alone.

Can I use an L-shaped bath for everyday bathing?

Yes. An L-shaped shower bath is designed to provide a normal bathing area as well as extra standing room at the wider showering end, making it useful where one installation needs to serve both purposes.

Does a 1700mm L-shaped bath include the screen and panel?

Not necessarily. What is included varies by product, so check the individual listing for the bath, shower screen, shaped panel, supports and other components before ordering.
