We are thinking of getting a Jacuzzi bath installed in our new bathroom. can anyone recommend any? budget is below £1,500. also is it quicker to fill up then a regular bath and is there anything we should be aware of? thanks :)
Be aware that the bigger the bath the bigger a water tank you need ( if you have a tank system ) also double check the joists are strong enough to hold the extra weight . Ask about how empty the pipes get as you don’t want anything nasty growing in your pipework around the bath .
I decided to get a jacuzzi bath in my last property although my other half told me I was being ridiculous and it would never get used. Found a pretty cheap one at B&Q with lights etc for around £1000. At first it was great. I was in it every night and saying “I told you so” to my partner. After a few weeks the novelty wore off and it was just used as a regular bath. You can’t have bubble bath in them which ruined the bathing experience for me. And they take a lot of cleaning. We had a huge water tank (not sure of capacity but it was at least 5 foot tall and very wide) and to fill the bath it emptied the tank. Not an issue if you have a combi boiler obviously. And it didn’t fill any quicker than a regular bath - the water is coming from the tank in the same way it would normally. And lastly - they are incredibly noisy. Hope this helps
