At Reuter, you'll find freestanding baths in almost 1,000 designs, for example modern and purist as well as nostalgic baths on feet. They are produced by renowned brands such as Villeroy & Boch, Duravit, treos, Bette, Kaldewei and Tellkamp. We would like to present our range in more detail and advise you on what to consider when purchasing a freestanding bath.
In order to be able to move around the bath, you should plan an open area of approximately 55 centimetres around the bath. This gives a 180 x 90 cm bath an area of 290 x 200 cm. For larger baths the area increases accordingly.
All is not lost if you have a small bathroom. Corner or space-saving baths are available. Or built-in baths. Nobody likes putting their bath in the corner though. The majority of freestanding baths are large enough to accommodate two people.
In terms of basic shape, you can choose from oval, rectangular or round freestanding baths. These do not have to stand naked like their predecessors though. They are available as built-in baths and can be covered in tiles, marble or even wood. Or with a suitable panel.
The shape of the inside does not always match the outside and the outside does not always represent the inside. You should bear this in mind when choosing a freestanding bath. Most smaller baths are more spacious inside than they first appear. Unfortunately, this can also work the other way round.
In the past it was cast iron, today other materials are used. The majority of freestanding baths in our store are made from enamelled steel. The material is extremely durable and easy to clean. The disadvantage: the designs tend to be less exciting. The benefits of sanitary acrylic and mineral cast are clear. A brief overview of these materials:

The water inlet can be with or without fittings for freestanding baths. Common fittings include floorstanding fittings and deck-mounted fittings.
4.1. Floorstanding fittings
Floorstanding fittings are fixed to the floor and are impressive to look at, rather like a sculpture. However, it is always difficult to fix them in such a way as to prevent any wobbling. Click here to view the floorstanding fittings.
4.2. Deck-mounted fittings
Deck-mounted fittings are more subtle. As the name suggests, they are integrated into the rim of the freestanding bath. These only work on baths with a sufficiently wide rim though. A bricked base can provide an alternative here. Click here to view the deck-mounted fittings.
4.3. Integrated bath inlet
Freestanding baths with an integrated bath inlet are popular. They don't require fittings in the traditional sense. They simply require a control unit for regulating the water volume and temperature. Kaldewei offer freestanding baths with a filling function.
As mentioned earlier, freestanding baths are available with or without feet. The option you choose depends entirely on your personal taste.
Baths on feet appear roomier and less heavy than freestanding baths without feet. These are reminiscent of old washtubs from days gone by. If the bath is placed fully on the floor, the weight is distributed more evenly.
Baths with ornate lion's feet are particularly popular with their nostalgic look. However, these type of freestanding baths need to be in a certain style of bathroom to look good.
We offer a number of baths on feet in our range. For example, from Villeroy & Boch, Bette or Victoria + Albert. Others include Ottofond, Schröder and Tellkamp. Most of them have nostalgic lion's feet, but there are also modern baths on feet.
Freestanding baths with whirl functions make bathing even more fun. You'll only find baths without whirl function in this section of the Reuter online store. However, you don't need to miss out on a relaxing spa bath. Click here to view our whirlpools. You'll find freestanding whirl baths in a wide variety of shapes.
We not only offer freestanding baths from renowned manufacturers but also from world famous designers, such as Philippe Starck, Carlo Colombo, Andrée Putman and Stefano Giovannoni. If you're looking for a genuine designer bath, you're in the right place.
In addition to the designers, the manufacturers of freestanding baths are our focus. Baths by Italian manufacturers Antoniolupi and Boffi offer pure luxury. Baths from these manufacturers can cost as much as a mid-range car.
Also not to be underestimated are baths by German manufacturers Villeroy & Boch, Hoesch, Duravit, Bette and Kaldewei. Freestanding baths by Tellkamp also offer top quality at all levels. Then there are the 'exotic' ones, such as British manufacturer Victoria + Albert or Swiss brand Laufen. These exude first-class design.
The water inlet and outlet is via the floor of freestanding baths. If installing a freestanding bath retrospectively, you'll need to take this renovation work into account. This means ripping up the floor to move the pipes. Holes will also need to be drilled into the floor to install the bath. Particular care must be taken if you have underfloor heating.
The majority of freestanding baths are white, like so many baths these days. It makes no odds whether they are made from mineral cast, steel enamel or acrylic. Pergamon is another relatively common colour. This is an off-white colour, which makes the bath less dazzling. Aside from natural stone baths, freestanding baths are only otherwise popular in black. Some are black on the outside and white on the inside, as well as completely black freestanding baths. Have a browse here.
The size as well as the design of modern freestanding baths is impressive. It's not unusual to find two metre-long baths that would fit even a basketball player. If you're wanting to fill up a bath this size you should first take a closer look at the statics of its surroundings. This is particularly important if you have an old build with wooden support structures and the bath is made from natural stone or concrete.
Freestanding baths are usually huge and often suitable for two people. There is less to choose from if looking for a particularly small freestanding bath. However, we offer a few models in our range which are smaller than 1.70 metres. Take a look here. Easily filter your search to find a bath in a particular length.
