Small bathtub

A small bath lets you enjoy a proper soak even in a bathroom with limited space. Our compact models, generally between 150 and 166 cm, come in two configurations: back-to-wall, resting against a wall to save even more space, or freestanding, fully open and accessible from every side.

Every Spalina tub is made from acrylic, a material that resists knocks and scratches, is lightweight and easy to maintain. Several finishes are available — white, black or grey — to suit your decor, without compromising on the comfort of a proper bath.

Every Spalina model comes with a 2-year guarantee and is delivered free within 6 working days across France and most of the European countries we serve.

Small bath: how to choose the right one

A freestanding bath is usually associated with a large bathroom, since clearance is needed all the way round. However, smaller models exist that let you keep this design style in a tighter space.

Available dimensions

Our small baths are generally between 150 and 166 cm long, compared with 170 to 180 cm for a standard model. This 10 to 20 cm difference can be enough to make installation possible in a room where a classic bath wouldn't fit, while keeping a comfortable bathing volume.

Small back-to-wall bath

Most of our small baths are offered as a back-to-wall version: the bath rests against a wall on one side, which makes accessing the plumbing easier through a dedicated opening, while keeping the freestanding look on the other sides. This configuration usually saves even more space, for a result that's nearly as striking as a classic island bath. These models are available in right- or left-hand versions depending on the desired drain position, and some also come in a corner version to make use of a room corner.

Small oval freestanding bath

For anyone who wants full 360° access, some models in our freestanding range remain in a classic oval configuration, placed freely or slightly offset in the centre of the room. This version needs more clearance space but keeps the full visual impact of a genuine bathroom centrepiece.

A material built to last

All our small 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.

Finishes for every style

Available in white, black or grey depending on the model, these small baths suit both a bright, clean-lined bathroom and a more contemporary, contrasted setting.

Any questions?

How much space do you need for a freestanding bath ?

A freestanding bath requires at least 60 cm of clearance on each side to allow comfortable movement and access to the taps. You will therefore need a bathroom of at least 7 to 8 m², depending on the model chosen.

For tighter spaces, compact models are the way to go : the Loom 2.0 (130x130 cm, round) or the Stellar (170x75 cm, rectangular) offer a smaller footprint without compromising on comfort. If you have less than 60 cm of clearance on one side, a semi-freestanding bath will be more suitable — it keeps the look of a freestanding model while leaning against a wall, and is available in 160 cm, 170 cm and 180 cm.

What is the smallest bath ?

The smallest bath in the Spalina range is the Loom 2.0 — a round freestanding model measuring 130x130 cm, available in gloss white, matte black and matte grey. Its circular format gives it a minimal footprint while still offering generous immersion thanks to its depth.

If you are looking for a non-round bath, our 150 cm models are the next most compact format : the Kelly 150, Loona 150, Neroon 2.0 150 or Samba 150 as oval freestanding baths, and the Mint 150 and Naos 150 as semi-freestanding wall baths (150x75 cm).

For corner baths, our most compact model is the Capri 150 (right or left). For whirlpools, the Maldives Jets and Tasmanie Jets (135x135 cm) remain the most compact models in the whirlpool range. All delivered free of charge within 6 working days, 2-year warranty.

Are Spalina's small baths comfortable ?

Yes, our small baths remain perfectly comfortable, as long as you choose the right length for your height. A 150 cm bath suits someone up to 160 cm tall in a semi-reclined position ; to lie down fully without bending your knees, go for 160 cm if you are up to 170 cm tall.

Beyond length, the material makes the real difference : our baths are made from fibreglass-reinforced acrylic, soft to the touch and an excellent heat insulator — your bath stays warm for longer, even in a compact format. The ergonomic design of our models, whether corner or semi-freestanding wall-mounted, also optimises comfort despite the reduced space.

How much does a small bath cost ?

Spalina's small baths start from €869 with the Mint 150, our most accessible semi-freestanding wall model. Most of our 150 and 160 cm models sit around €879 — this applies to the Capri 150 corner model, the Naos 150 wall model, or the Kelly 160 asymmetric freestanding bath.

A few models reach €889, such as the Neroon 2.0 150 oval freestanding bath or the Mint 160. The price difference remains minimal across the range — the choice mainly depends on the shape and configuration you are after rather than budget. All our small baths are made from premium acrylic, come with a 2-year warranty and are delivered free of charge within 6 working days.

Which bath is the most comfortable ?

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.

What guarantees does Spalina offer ?

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.

What is the ideal size for a rectangular bath ?

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.

What is the smallest freestanding bath ?

The most compact bath in the Spalina range is the Loom 2.0 — a round bath measuring 130x130 cm, available in gloss white, matte black and matte grey. Its circular format gives it one of the smallest footprints on the market, while its depth allows for generous immersion.

For a compact oval format, our Kelly 150, Loona 150, Neroon 2.0 150 and Samba 150 models measure 150 cm in length — a comfortable size for people up to 5'7", with real space savings compared to a 170 cm model.

For even tighter spaces, our semi-freestanding baths offer a smaller footprint while keeping the freestanding look : the Mint 150 and Naos 150 measure 150x75 cm, and the Capri 150 (right or left) installs in a corner to make the most of the available space. All come with a 2-year warranty and free delivery within 6 working days.

Which baths are recommended for small spaces ?

For a small bathroom, the choice of bath depends above all on the layout of your space and the location of your plumbing. Several solutions exist to enjoy a real bath without sacrificing circulation.

In a corner : a corner bath fits into an unused corner and frees up the centre of the room. The Capri 150 (right or left) is our most compact model in this configuration, from 879€.

Wall-mounted : a semi-freestanding bath offers the look of a freestanding model with a smaller footprint. The Mint 150 and Naos 150 measure 150x75 cm — our most compact references in this range.

Freestanding : if you have at least 7 m², our 150 cm freestanding baths such as the Kelly 150 or Loona 150 offer a great balance between design and space saving. For compact whirlpools, the Maldives Jets (135x135 cm) is our smallest whirlpool model. All delivered free of charge within 6 working days, 2-year warranty.

How to design a small bathroom with a freestanding bath ?

Installing a freestanding bath in a small bathroom is perfectly possible, as long as you choose the right format and optimise the layout. Here are the key rules.

Choose the right format : for a bathroom of 5 to 7 m², go for 150 cm models such as the Kelly 150 or the Loona 150. The Loom 2.0 (130x130 cm, round) is our most compact model — its circular format means it fits in almost any space.

Respect clearances : allow at least 60 cm of free space on each side of the bath for circulation and access to the taps. If this is not possible on one side, a semi-freestanding bath will be more suitable — it leans against a wall, saving space while keeping the freestanding look.

Optimise the space : position the bath along the main axis of the room or at a diagonal to create a sense of volume. Avoid bulky furniture nearby. A corner bath such as the Capri 150 is also an excellent alternative for small spaces — it fits into a corner and frees up the centre of the bathroom.

Can you fit a rectangular bath in a small bathroom ?

Yes, absolutely — as long as you choose the right format and configuration. A rectangular bath is actually one of the most suitable shapes for small spaces, as its straight lines integrate easily along a wall and make the most of the available space.

For a bathroom of 5 to 6 m², opt for a rectangular semi-freestanding bath — it leans against a wall, reducing the floor footprint while keeping the freestanding look. Our Mint 150 (150x75 cm) and Naos 150 (150x75 cm) models are our most compact references.

For a bathroom of 6 to 8 m², a rectangular freestanding bath such as the Stellar (170x75 cm) or the Kira 170 installs easily with 60 cm of clearance on each side. If you also want a whirlpool bath, the Tenzo Wave (170x75 cm) is our slimmest rectangular whirlpool model. All come with a 2-year warranty and free delivery within 6 working days.
