How to choose your rectangular bath
The rectangular bath remains the most versatile shape: it fits most bathroom layouts and usually lets you replace an existing bath without altering the plumbing.
Dimensions
The first step is to measure the available space precisely, taking into account the position of other fixtures (toilet, vanity unit, basin, heating). If you're particularly tall and the space allows it, choose an above-average length for optimal comfort.
Design and finish
Beyond dimensions, the choice also comes down to design and the colour of the bath panel. Spalina offers several finishes — black, white and grey — to suit your decor project, whether all-white or contrasted.
Budget and delivery
Setting a budget upfront helps you quickly filter the available options. If ordering online, check the delivery terms: with Spalina, it's free within 6 working days across France and most of the European countries we serve.
Rectangular whirlpool bath
To turn a classic bath into a moment of relaxation, Spalina offers whirlpool versions of its rectangular range, fitted with one of its 3 massage systems: Jets, for targeted hydromassage on the back, legs or feet; Wave, for an enveloping wave-like sensation; or Bulle, for a gentler, more even bubbling effect. Every whirlpool model is tested for 4 hours under real conditions before shipping, to guarantee reliable operation from day one.
Rectangular island and back-to-wall bath
For a more sophisticated bathroom, the rectangular island bath is positioned freely in the centre of the room and becomes a genuine decorative feature. The back-to-wall version offers the same look while resting against a wall, for easier installation and space-saving.
A material built to last
All our rectangular baths are made from acrylic. This material offers an excellent balance of looks, comfort and durability: a smooth, lightweight surface, good resistance to knocks and scratches, and easy day-to-day upkeep.
Installation, step by step
Installing a rectangular bath generally follows 4 steps: marking out the position and drain location, adjusting the feet height while leaving a 5 mm gap from the floor, making the plumbing connections, then testing for leaks by filling the bath and draining it. Once these checks are done, a silicone seal is applied between the bath and the floor, with a 24-hour wait before first use.
We recommend calling in a professional for this installation, particularly for the plumbing connections.
