White bathtub

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 — 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.

Maintaining an acrylic bath is straightforward as long as you use the right products. The golden rule : never use abrasive products, scouring pads or acetone-based cleaners — they will permanently scratch the surface.

For white and gloss finishes : a mild, non-abrasive cleaner diluted in lukewarm water is all you need. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to avoid limescale marks. A weekly clean is enough to keep the finish looking its best.

For matte finishes (black, grey, blue Tiff, orange H) : matte finishes are more sensitive to limescale marks and fingerprints. Use a cleaner specifically designed for matte surfaces, without wax or polish. Always dry with a microfibre cloth after each use.

For whirlpool baths : after each use, run the system empty for 2 to 3 minutes with clean water to rinse the jets and the hydraulic circuit. Once a month, run a cleaning cycle with a specialist whirlpool cleaner to remove limescale deposits from the pipes. Never use foaming products in a whirlpool while it is running.

A bath offers what a shower cannot replace : a moment of complete relaxation, with the body immersed in warm water at 36-38°C. Regular bathing helps release muscle tension, reduce stress and promote better sleep. It is also the most practical option for families with young children.

With a whirlpool bath, the benefits are amplified : water jets or air bubbles massage the body deeply, for a spa-like experience at home. With a freestanding bath, it is also a strong decorative asset that adds value to the bathroom. For tighter spaces, a corner bath or a semi-freestanding bath allow you to enjoy these benefits without sacrificing space.

All Spalina baths are made from premium acrylic — a soft, lightweight material that retains the heat of the water well.

To tell if a bathtub is made of acrylic, touch it. If it's made of this material, it will feel warm and slightly flexible. Acrylic does retain heat well.

Additionally, this type of bathtub offers a smooth, glossy or matte surface depending on the finish. Another clue is weight. Acrylic bathtubs are lighter than those made of metal or cast iron. Finally, when tapping gently, you'll notice a quieter sound compared to other materials.

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.

When it comes to connecting your whirlpool bathtub to a power supply, we strongly recommend hiring an experienced electrician. If, however, you feel comfortable handling installation on your own, you’ll need to connect the three conductors of the power cable to an IPX5 junction box. Each conductor should be connected to its corresponding terminal. Brown is phase, blue is neutral and yellow/green is earth.
