How do I pick the right P shape shower bath size for my bathroom?

Look at the lengths and widths available and match them to the space you have, common sizes are 1500, 1600 and 1700 mm long, with widths typically 800, 850 or 900 mm. If you have a smaller family bathroom, a 1500 x 850 mm model gives a reasonable bath and a usable shower area; if you have more floor space, 1700 x 900 mm gives the most shower room and a more comfortable bath. Remember to leave room for the screen to open or the door to swing and for the floor or cupboard access to the trap. Measure twice so you avoid a bath that feels cramped when you stand to shower.

What does "handing" mean and how do I decide left or right?

Handing tells you which end the wider shower area and the screen hinge sit on, left or right. Stand facing the bath where the taps are; if the shower area is on your left it's left-hand, and vice versa. Match the handing to your existing plumbing run and the direction a shower screen or door will need to open to avoid hitting a towel rail or vanity unit. Many P shape baths come in both left and right versions, so you can pick the one that fits your layout.

Do I need a side panel or both a side and end panel?

If the bath sits in an alcove against a long wall you'll normally need a single side panel to cover the exposed long side. For corner installations where the bath meets two walls you'll want a side and end panel set to cover both exposed sides and create a neat finish. Panels are often sold as part of bundles with screens and rails, which can save you time and ensure the panels match the bath profile.

Are whirlpool P shape baths a good option and what should I expect?

Whirlpool P shape baths add hydro-massage jets for a spa-like soak, with models in the range offering configurations such as 8 jets positioned around the tub. They're great if you want relaxation and frequent indulgent baths, but expect higher cost and slightly more maintenance than a plain acrylic shower bath. If you mainly shower and only occasionally bathe, a standard P shape shower bath usually gives better value and simpler upkeep.

Can I get a P shape bath with a shower screen and mixer; what finishes are available?

Yes, many baths are offered as bundles that include a shower screen, rail and panels, and some even include a mixer shower. You'll find standard chrome fittings and trendy options such as a black mixer shower in the range, so you can match taps and screens to your bathroom's style. Buying a bundled set ensures the screen and panels are the right size for the bath and reduces the risk of splash on the floor.
