Complete Bathroom Suites with Straight Bath

Measure the available floor length and allow at least 150mm clearance at the end for panels or pipework; most suites here come in 1700mm which fits a standard family bathroom, 1600mm suits medium spaces and 1500mm is best for small ensuites. If you want to shower over the bath, 1700mm gives more room to stand and makes fitting a bath screen easier. For example, the Affine Royan range is available in 1500, 1600 and 1700mm so you can match the suite to your space.

A complete suite typically groups the straight or single-ended bath with matching items such as a toilet, basin or vanity unit, taps, a bath screen or shower, and waste fittings so everything coordinates. Some packs specify a full pedestal basin while others include a vanity unit for storage, so check the product listing; for example, the Ceramica Arles options include a vanity unit with the 1700mm kit. Note that some suites explicitly come with taps included while others may offer taps as an add-on.

If you want a clean, traditional look and you have limited floor width, a full pedestal basin is compact and widely offered. If you need storage or want to hide plumbing, a vanity unit is more practical and two of the listed suites include vanity units, such as the Ceramica Arles 1700mm. Match the basin style to how you use the room: a family bathroom benefits from a vanity unit, whereas a cloakroom or period-style bathroom often suits a pedestal.

Think about the overall mood you want: black gives a modern, bold look seen on Affine Royan Black suites, brass adds warmth and a traditional or statement feel (Park Lane and Affine offer brass finishes), while chrome is classic and versatile. Practicality matters too: matte black can show water spots more readily so you may need to wipe it down, whereas chrome is forgiving and easy to maintain. Pick a finish that complements the suite’s style and the rest of your hardware, for example pairing a Park Lane traditional chrome suite with chrome towel rails and shower fittings.

Yes, straight baths are designed for dual use — comfortable for soaking and wide enough to shower over when paired with a bath screen and suitable shower valve. Many of the complete suites are sold with or designed to accept a bath screen and include matching taps or shower fittings, so you can have both functions without mismatched components. For instance, the Affine and Ceramica 1700mm options give you enough length to stand comfortably for a shower while retaining a generous bathing space.
