Freestanding bath waste
Planned before the floor goes down.
A freestanding bath needs a waste that either drops straight into the floor or is exposed under the bath, usually with a matching visible trap.
- Options
- Floor waste or exposed
- Plan
- Before the floor is laid
- Visible on
- Baths on feet
- Finishes
- Match the taps
What it is
On baths that sit on the floor, the waste runs straight down through the floor. On baths raised on feet, the waste and trap are on show beneath, so they're made to look good.
Good for
Flexibility
Lets the bath sit away from the walls.
Period detail
An exposed polished trap suits a roll-top.
What to weigh up
Early planning
The pipe route under the floor is fixed before the floor is laid.
