bathtub-whirlpool-jacuzziBathtubs are now available in a range of styles and colors so it is no longer necessary to only consider installing a bath in the traditional white finish.

Think about purchasing a bathtub in either a softly muted shade or, for the more adventurous, a bold striking color. Now that bathtubs are available in almost any color of the rainbow, there will definitely be a color to suit your bathroom décor.

Apart from the extensive range of colors available, there are a wide range of styles. You now have the choice of a spa, whirlpool, hot tub or still water bath in a modern built in design or you may prefer a clawfoot bathtub.

A built in tub will generally be surrounded by tiles so that only the top of the bath shows. Free-standing baths are becoming more and more popular, especially for older-style bathrooms where a clawfoot tub is more appropriate.

Older-style bath accessories such as faucets, sink plugs and soap holders are also available to match the claw foot bathtubs.

Bathtubs and matching accessories come in a variety of compositions including acrylic, fibre glass, glass, enamelled cast iron and steel.

Whirlpool tubs, also known as spa or Jacuzzi tubs are a popular favourite and a great way to relax and sooth tired stressed bodies. Whirlpool tubs are commonly known as Jacuzzi tubs; however, Jacuzzi is a brand of whirlpool bath which does not cover the whole range of whirlpool brands.
