1400mm Baths

1400mm Baths Buying Guide

At 1400mm, a bath asks for genuinely less floor space than the more common 1500mm to 1700mm range, making it a considered choice when a full bath is wanted but the room simply can't spare the extra length.

Choosing an installation type

Freestanding baths stand independently with no wall contact, a genuine statement piece even at a compact length, requiring floor-mounted tapware and clear floor space around the unit. Back to wall baths bring the same freestanding look with one flat side sitting flush against the wall, staying space-efficient while keeping the elevated aesthetic. Corner baths use an underused corner of the room, often genuinely practical in a smaller bathroom layout. Spa baths add jet systems for a therapeutic massage effect, even within the more compact 1400mm footprint. Tile flange baths are built for a tiled hob or frame, the classic, practical built-in configuration.

Choosing a shape

This collection spans oval, rectangular and round profiles. Rectangular remains the versatile, go-to choice for a built-in configuration. Oval suits a freestanding installation particularly well, and round brings a genuinely more compact, deep-soak character well matched to the shorter overall length.

Choosing a material

Acrylic remains the standard, cost-effective choice, lightweight and straightforward to install, with strong heat retention keeping bathwater warmer for longer. Stone and solid surface bring a genuinely more premium, substantial feel, well suited to a bathroom wanting the bath itself to be a considered design statement even at a smaller scale.

Is a 1400mm bath big enough?

A 1400mm bath suits most adults for a comfortable soak, though it offers noticeably less legroom than a 1500mm or 1700mm bath. It's a genuinely practical choice for a smaller ensuite or bathroom, or for a household prioritising floor space over maximum bath length.

What size bathroom suits a 1400mm bath?

A 1400mm bath fits comfortably in a smaller ensuite or bathroom, generally requiring a floor area of around 2m² to 2.5m² once clearance around the unit is accounted for, making it noticeably more space-efficient than a standard 1700mm bath.

Can a 1400mm bath be a spa bath?

Yes. Spa bath jet systems are available even within the more compact 1400mm length, giving a therapeutic massage experience without needing the floor space a longer bath demands.

How do I clean and maintain an acrylic bath?

A soft cloth with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent is all that's usually needed, since acrylic resists staining and doesn't allow grime to soak in. Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and harsh chemical cleaners are worth avoiding, since they can dull or scratch the acrylic surface over time.

Completing the bathroom

A 1400mm bath is easiest to finalise alongside its tapware, since spout position and mounting style both depend on the bath's installation type. The Blue Space's Bath Taps and Bath Wastes collections are worth reviewing alongside a 1400mm bath selection to bring the full bathroom together.
