P Shaped Shower Baths
Upgrade your bathroom with a p-shaped shower bath, the practical solution that combines a generous bathing area with a full shower space. Available in compact 1500mm models and larger sizes, we offer both right and left-hand P-shaped bath configurations to suit any layout. Each design delivers quality at the lowest market price, backed by 30 years of expertise and dedicated customer service.
What is a p-shaped bath?
A p-shaped bath features a straight section on one side with a curved, wider end that resembles the letter P. This design gives you significantly more elbow room in the shower area compared to standard rectangular baths, whilst the narrower section provides a comfortable spot for soaking. The curved portion typically measures 700-850mm wide, creating a practical showering zone that feels spacious and unrestricted. Unlike an l-shaped bath, the p-shape offers a softer, more rounded showering area that many find more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
Are p-shaped baths comfortable?
Yes. P-shaped bathtubs offer genuine comfort for both bathing and showering. The straight section provides proper back support when you're lying down, with ergonomic contours that cradle your body. The generous depth (typically 400-420mm) means you can submerge properly for a relaxing soak. When showering, the curved end gives you enough space to move freely without constantly brushing against cold screens or walls.
How to measure for a p-shaped bath
Measuring for a p-shaped bath requires three key dimensions: overall length, the width of the straight section, and the width of the curved end. Start by measuring your available space length-wise along the wall where the bath will sit. Then measure the width perpendicular to that wall, ensuring you account for any pipework, radiators, or door clearances. Remember that p-shaped bath dimensions include the bath itself plus the panel thickness (typically 50-60mm).
Styles and configurations of p-shaped baths
Our p-shaped bathroom suites come in several distinct styles to match your aesthetic preferences. Square p-shaped bath designs feature more angular corners on the curved section, creating a contemporary look that suits modern bathrooms perfectly. Conventional curved versions offer smoother, flowing lines that work beautifully in both traditional and transitional spaces.
Across our range, you can choose from right-hand P-shaped bath and left-hand P-shaped bath options, each specifically designed to fit your bathroom layout. Each style maintains the signature P-shape functionality whilst delivering unique visual character.
P-shaped bath sizes
P-shaped bath sizes vary to accommodate different bathroom dimensions. A 1500mm p-shaped bath measures approximately 1500mm long by 700mm wide on the straight section, expanding to 850mm at the curved end. Perfect for compact bathrooms. A 1600mm p-shaped bath adds extra bathing length whilst maintaining a similar footprint in width. Or, for those seeking maximum luxury, a large p-shaped bath like the 1700mm p-shaped bath provides generous dimensions for ultimate comfort. Consider a deep p-shaped bath if you prefer full immersion, with depths reaching 420mm compared to standard 400mm options.
Where to position a p-shaped bath
Position your p-shaped bath with shower away from the bathroom door to maintain privacy and prevent water splashing into the hallway. The curved showering end works best when placed furthest from the door, creating a natural wet zone that's separated from dry areas. Ensure adequate clearance (minimum 700mm) in front of the bath for safe entry and exit. The straight side typically sits flush against your longest wall, with the curved end either tucked into a corner or positioned to create a natural divide in the room. Consider window placement, too. Positioning the taps away from windows makes installation simpler and prevents awkward reaches during bathing.
Are screens included with your p-shaped baths?
Many of our p-shaped baths come with shower screens included; however, some require a separate purchase. We clearly indicate whether screens are included, so check the product specifications of your chosen p-bath suite carefully before completing your order. If purchasing separately, make sure to measure your bath to ensure screen compatibility. If you need any help, contact our customer service team, who can advise on the best screen options for your chosen p-shaped bath.
