What are baths made of?

At Royal Bathrooms, we use acrylic to make our bathtubs, and we’ll explain why.

A bath is an addition that will be used frequently, if not daily. That’s why it’s so important to ensure that the materials used to create your new bath are not only visually appealing but also exceptionally durable and resistant to premature damage.

Our range is made using premium quality acrylic so that our range delivers on all of these considerations and more.

Other superior advantages include:

• Premium quality acrylic is superb for retaining heat, keeping your bath hotter for longer.
• Bathtubs made from acrylic benefit from an attractive smooth appearance.
• Acrylic bathtubs are very easy to clean and maintain.
• You’ll receive a premium quality feature at an affordable price.
• Acrylic is a versatile material, which is why we’re able to offer such a wide range of bath models.
• Baths made from acrylic are resistant to chipping and/or cracking.

Please note that our extensive selection of bathtubs meet the CE & EN14516 standards - meaning they are suitable for use in domestic properties.

What are the bath panels made of?

At Royal Bathrooms, we offer bath panels made from either premium quality acrylic or medium-density fibreboard (MDF). Both of these material options are a great choice for a bathroom space.

As we mentioned in the section above, acrylic is a great option for bathtubs, thanks to being a strong and durable material with a polished finish and a desirable appearance. This is also true for bath panels.

Our MDF bath panels are equally beneficial for a bathroom, as they are highly durable, moisture-resistant and long-lasting. We offer a wide range of styles, Colours and designs to choose from, so be sure to check out our full range of bath panels here.

Are the bath panels included?

At Royal Bathrooms, we give you the option. Our bathtub selection is full of options that come with or without bath panelling.

To make things a little easier, we offer baths in the following configurations:

• No panel included.
• Front panel included only.
• Front and end panels included.

The reason we offer some baths without bath panels is because we know that you may want to choose the panels yourself. If this sounds like you, feel free to browse our stylish range of bath panels here.

Do Royal Bathrooms offer left and right-handed baths?

Yes, we do.

We want to make sure that you can find exactly what you want as easily as possible. That’s why you’ll be able to filter your search results to view either left or right-handed bath options only.

What about reversible baths?

Yes, we also offer a great selection of reversible baths here at Royal Bathrooms. Hundreds, in fact!

A reversible bath is a bathtub that can be positioned in either a left or right configuration. Depending on the exact model you purchase, the drain will be positioned in either the middle of the bath or at one end.
