170 back to wall bathtub

A freestanding bath — also known as a standalone or freestanding bathtub — is a model that sits freely in the bathroom, without being fixed to a wall. Finished on all sides, it becomes the centrepiece of the room.

Unlike a built-in bath, installation is straightforward : no tiling around it, no panel to fix. It rests on its own feet or an integrated base. At Spalina, all our freestanding baths are made from premium acrylic, available in several shapes — oval, rectangular, round or asymmetric — and in several finishes : gloss white, matte black, matte grey.

Not to be confused with the semi-freestanding bath, which keeps the look of a freestanding model while leaning against a wall — the ideal solution for more compact bathrooms.

There is no universal answer — comfort depends on your height, how you use the bath, and the space available. That said, several criteria make a real difference : interior length, basin depth, backrest shape and material.

For length, allow at least 170 cm if you are 5'9" or taller — our 170 cm baths and 180 cm baths allow full immersion. For depth, freestanding oval baths are generally deeper than standard built-in models. For massage, a whirlpool bath adds an incomparable relaxation dimension — toning water jets or enveloping air bubbles depending on the system chosen. For two people, our 2-person baths offer generous space with moulded ergonomic seating.

In all cases, the acrylic used in all Spalina baths guarantees a soft touch and excellent heat retention — two factors that extend the pleasure of your bath.

All Spalina baths come with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing and conformity defects. This warranty covers parts and labour in the event of a proven defect. Our after-sales service is available 5d/7 to answer any technical or commercial questions after receipt.

For whirlpool baths, every model is tested for 4 hours in water before dispatch — a systematic step in our specifications that guarantees the correct operation of the entire hydraulic and electrical system before the bath leaves our warehouse.

Spalina is a French brand founded in 2003, specialising in acrylic baths, with over 60,000 baths delivered. For any after-sales enquiry, contact us at hello@spalina.fr or via our contact form.

A freestanding bath sits freely in the bathroom, away from all walls. It is finished on all sides and becomes the centrepiece of the room. It requires generous space — allow at least 60 cm of clearance on each side — and a floor water supply.

A semi-freestanding bath leans against a wall. It retains the look of a freestanding model on its three visible sides, while simplifying installation : the water supply can come through the wall, and it takes up less space. It is the ideal solution for bathrooms of 5 to 7 m² that want a beautiful design without space constraints.

In short : if you have the space and a floor water supply, go for a freestanding bath. If your bathroom is more compact or your plumbing runs through the wall, a semi-freestanding bath is more suitable. In both cases, Spalina offers models in 160, 170 and 180 cm, in acrylic, delivered free of charge within 6 working days.

There is no universal size — the choice depends on your height, your bathroom and how you use the bath. That said, a few concrete guidelines help narrow it down.

For someone up to 175 cm, a 170 cm rectangular bath provides full, comfortable immersion. If you are 180 cm or taller, go straight for a 180 cm model — a few extra centimetres make a real difference for your legs. For width, allow at least 75 cm for a relaxed soak ; 80 cm if you like to stretch out fully.

At Spalina, our semi-freestanding rectangular baths come in 170 and 180 cm. Among the most popular models : the Cobalt 170 in white, matte black or matte grey — compact and elegant — and the Mint 180 for those looking for a larger format. All come with a 2-year warranty and free delivery within 6 working days.
