All Standard Baths

Shop standard baths in Ireland at Deluxe Bathrooms, with a hand-picked range of single-ended, double-ended and straight rectangular baths sized to fit the typical Irish bathroom. Standard baths remain the most practical choice for family homes. They tuck neatly into an alcove, work with virtually every plumbing layout, and cost less to install than a freestanding bath without sacrificing comfort or style.

Every standard bath in this collection is built from reinforced acrylic with an encapsulated baseboard, giving the rigidity of a much heavier bath while staying light enough for straightforward installation. Acrylic also holds heat longer than steel or cast iron, so your soak stays warm without constant top-ups,  a real advantage on the colder end of an Irish winter.

Standard Bath Sizes for Irish Bathrooms

Most Irish bathrooms are built around a 1700mm × 700mm alcove, and the majority of standard baths in our range are sized accordingly. We also stock 1600mm and 1800mm options for tighter or more generous spaces. Before ordering, measure the wall length, the depth from the wall, and the position of your existing waste and tap connections - this avoids costly plumbing changes during installation.

Single-Ended Baths

Single-ended baths position the taps and waste at one end, leaving the opposite end clear for comfortable reclining with proper back support. They suit alcove installations where one short wall is best for plumbing, and the other side rests against a finished wall.

Double-Ended Baths

Double-ended baths centre the taps and waste along the long edge, so both ends slope gently for bathing. Ideal for two people sharing or for anyone who wants more flexibility on where to lean back, a common pick for family bathrooms and main bathrooms with island-style layouts.

Materials, Finishes, and Quality

Acrylic remains the material of choice for standard baths because it warms quickly, resists chips and scratches, and is straightforward to clean with everyday bathroom cleaners. Our baths come in classic gloss white that matches every basin, toilet and shower tray in our range. All units are pre-drilled for two tap holes or supplied undrilled if you're planning wall-mounted bath taps.

Plumbing Compatibility

Every standard bath ships with a 40mm waste outlet compatible with standard Irish plumbing, and the overflow position is set to suit typical wall-mounted overflow kits. Suitable for gravity-fed, pumped and mains-pressure systems found in Irish homes.

Bath Panels and Finishing

A standard bath needs a front panel (and an end panel for corner installations) to give a clean, finished look. Pair your bath with a matching white acrylic panel for a seamless finish or tile directly onto a panel-ready frame for a built-in appearance.

Pairing Your Standard Bath

Once the bath is sorted, the rest of the bathroom comes together quickly. Match it with bath taps in your preferred finish, fit a bath/shower mixer if you want showering capability, and complete the room with coordinated bathroom furniture. If you're after a tub-and-shower combination in one unit, take a look at our shower baths collection instead.
