TAILS’ BATH TIP

Choosing a 1700mm Single Ended Bath

A 1700mm single ended bath gives you one dedicated reclining end with the fittings positioned towards the opposite end. Once you know 1700mm suits the available space, compare the individual bath dimensions, internal shape and features to find the right model for your bathroom.

Check the Bath Will Fit

Measure the finished space before ordering

Check the full dimensions

The 1700mm figure describes the nominal bath length, but the full product dimensions still matter when fitting between finished walls or beside bathroom furniture. Check the exact length, width and height on the individual product before ordering, particularly where the available space is tight.

Think about bathing space

Two baths with the same overall length can feel different inside because the rim, backrest and internal shape all affect the usable bathing area. Compare the product drawings as well as the headline dimensions when deciding which 1700mm single ended bath suits you best.

Need another length?

If 1700mm is not quite right for the room, compare nearby sizes such as 1600mm single ended baths, 1650mm single ended baths or larger 1800mm single ended baths.

Why Choose a Single Ended Bath?

A practical layout for everyday bathing

One dedicated reclining end

Single ended baths are designed around one main reclining end, with the waste and fittings generally positioned towards the other end. This creates a familiar layout for everyday bathing while keeping the main backrest area clear of the fittings.

Want two reclining ends?

If you prefer a more balanced internal layout with reclining space at both ends, compare 1700mm double ended baths. You can keep the same nominal bath length while choosing a different bathing layout.

Compare the Features You Need

Look beyond the length alone

Bath shape and rim

The external lines, rim proportions and internal contours can affect both the appearance of the bath and the usable space inside it. Compare individual product images and dimensions rather than assuming every 1700mm single ended bath has exactly the same profile.

Grip options

Some 1700mm single ended baths include integrated grips, while others keep the rim clear for a simpler appearance. If handholds are important to you, check the individual product specification and compare the grip position alongside the overall bath design.

Tap arrangement

Tap-hole arrangements vary between baths, so check whether the model is drilled, undrilled or intended for a particular fitting position. Planning the taps before ordering helps make sure the chosen fittings work properly with the bath layout.

Planning a Shower Over the Bath?

Check the bath and screen together

Add a suitable bath screen

A single ended bath can work with an over-bath shower where the particular bath, rim and installation are suitable. Browse our bath screens and compare the fixing position, screen width and movement against your chosen bath.

Want more showering space?

If showering space is a bigger priority than a conventional single ended layout, you can keep the same nominal length and compare 1700mm L-shaped baths or 1700mm P-shaped baths.

Complete Your 1700mm Bath

Choose the right finishing panels

1700mm front bath panels

If the long side of the bath will remain exposed, compare 1700mm front bath panels. The nominal length gives you a useful starting point, but always check the panel height, material and stated compatibility with the exact bath before ordering.

DESIGNER’S NOTE

Treat 1700mm as the starting measurement rather than the entire decision. Check the full product dimensions, internal bathing space and the position of nearby furniture, doors and sanitaryware before deciding which bath fits the room best.

1700mm Single Ended Bath FAQs

Common questions before choosing your bath

What is a 1700mm single ended bath?

A 1700mm single ended bath has a nominal length of around 1700mm and one main reclining end. The opposite end is normally used for the waste and often the taps, although the exact arrangement depends on the individual bath and installation.

Is 1700mm a common bath length?

1700mm is a widely used bath length, but exact external dimensions and internal bathing space can still vary between models. Measure the finished space and check the individual product specification rather than relying on the nominal length alone.

Can I shower over a single ended bath?

Yes, where the bath and installation are suitable for an over-bath shower. Check the standing area, rim and screen position, then compare suitable bath screens against the exact bath dimensions.

What panel fits a 1700mm bath?

A 1700mm front bath panel is the logical starting point for an exposed long side, but panel height and compatibility still need checking. If a bath end is exposed, choose the end panel to suit the bath width.
