Grey Bathroom Collection - Baths

For a small ensuite, a compact length such as 1400 x 750 mm (the RAK Cloud freestanding 1400 x 750 mm) saves floor space while still feeling roomy. A typical family bathroom works well with 1500–1700 mm lengths, the 1700 x 700 mm Washington is a common family size that balances comfort and space. If you want a bath for two or a truly indulgent soak, opt for 1800 x 800 mm double-ended models which give extra shoulder room and a symmetrical shape for two bathers.

Freestanding baths, like the BC Designs Boat or RAK Cloud, act as a striking focal point and suit larger, open-plan bathrooms where you can show all sides of the bath. Baths with side and end panels, such as the RAK Washington range, are more space-efficient and practical in family bathrooms because they hide pipework and sit neatly against the wall. If you want a feature piece and have the floor space, go freestanding; if you need practicality and easier plumbing concealment, choose a panelled option.

Single-ended baths have the waste and taps at one end and a sloped back at the other, which makes them ideal when you also want a shower over the bath or when space is tighter, the RAK Washington single-ended 1700 x 700 mm is a good choice. Double-ended baths place the waste and taps centrally with sloped backs at both ends, offering a more comfortable two‑person layout and a balanced, luxurious look, see the Washington double-ended 1800 x 800 mm. Choose single-ended for practicality and space constraints; choose double-ended for symmetry and shared bathing.

Light grey basins and baths create an airy, minimalist feel and pair beautifully with white tiles and chrome fittings, while deeper greys make a bolder, dramatic statement next to matte black accessories. Special finishes such as BC Designs painted in Farrow & Ball Plummet give a designer, painted-effect look, and metal-look finishes like tin or nickel add a tactile, industrial edge. Match the finish to your fittings, a deep grey boat bath with matte black taps creates a contemporary industrial scheme, whereas a light grey bath with chrome brightens a small bathroom.

Yes, the collection features high-quality materials and finishes designed for daily use, so surfaces retain their appearance with routine cleaning. Painted and glazed finishes used on many models are hard-wearing and resist staining; avoid abrasive cleaners and use a soft cloth to maintain the surface. For a busy family bathroom, a panelled RAK Washington model offers practicality and low-maintenance installation, while a well-finished freestanding bath can stand up to regular use if cleaned gently.
