Back-to-wall bath
The freestanding look, against a wall.
A bath with curved, freestanding-style sides and one flat side that sits tight against the wall. You get the look of a freestanding bath in less space, with simpler plumbing.

What it is
The bath is shaped like a freestanding bath on its open sides, but one side is flat and sits against the wall. Pipework runs into the wall rather than across the floor.
Good for
Less space
No gap needed behind it.
Simpler pipework
Waste and supply can go into the wall behind.
Easier cleaning
No hard-to-reach gap between the bath and the wall.
What to weigh up
Not quite freestanding
It can't stand in the middle of the room.
A wall for the taps
Taps usually go on the wall, so plan a wall-mounted filler before tiling.
