If you’re thinking of redoing your bathroom, you may be feeling over whelmed with all the choices there are out there. As well as choosing colours, tiles and flooring, you’ll also be making the biggest decision of all, what type of bathroom to go for. In this post I am going to look the pros and cons of a P shape bathroom suite.
When you redesign your bathroom, it can be easy just to pick the first suite you see. Having a huge amount of choice can sometimes make decision-making more difficult rather than easier. A quick Google search throws up hundreds upon hundreds of bathroom suites.
How do you figure out which one is right for you?
What is a P Shape Bathroom Suite?
A P Shape Bathroom suite features a bath which has a slightly wider curve at one end, so essentially it looks like the shape of the letter P.
P Shape Bathroom suites as designed to be space-saving. Modern bathrooms are often very small.
Having a small bath is fine, but having a small bath can often mean a very cramped overbath shower. A P Shape bath is designed to get around this problem, with the ‘P’ end of the bath being larger, offering a better space for showering.
Make sure that you find the best accessories possible for this type of bathroom. You need to ensure that everything fits in seamlessly. You can make sure you get high-quality bathroom accessories by purchasing them at Bathshack, ensuring quality is what is going to make your bathroom comfortable.
Is a P Shape Bath Right For My Bathroom?
If you have a small bathroom, then one option is to get rid of the bath completely and install a shower unit. This means the shower unit can be a good size as it will take over the space where the bath once was. These types of shower units can come all sorts of shapes and sizes so even if it’s a narrow space then there should be something out there that will fit the space nicely.
Another option would be to install a wet room. Overall this would be a much more expensive option, but as you don’t need to fit a shower tray, or even a screen if you don’t want too, it makes the space a lot more flexible.
A P shape bath may be the right option for you if you only have a small or narrow space for a bath but don’t have room for a separate shower unit. The P shape gives extra space for showering without taking over the whole space.
This could be a great option if you love to shower but also have children that will want to use the bath. In fact, not having a bath in your home can actually affect it’s marketability should you choose to sell further along the line. Most families prefer a house with a bath and typically without one, houses can take longer to sell.
