Shower Baths for Perth Bathrooms
A shower bath combines the convenience of a shower with the comfort of a bathtub, making it an ideal solution for modern Perth homes. Whether you’re renovating a compact ensuite, updating a family bathroom or designing a new build, a shower-over-bath setup allows you to enjoy the benefits of both without requiring the space for separate fixtures.
At Bathroom International, we stock a wide range of shower baths in Perth to suit different bathroom sizes, layouts and budgets. From compact models for smaller homes through to larger family-friendly options, our collection offers practical and stylish solutions for every bathroom project.
What Is a Shower Bath?
A shower bath is a bathtub specifically designed to function as both a bath and a shower. Unlike traditional baths, shower baths often feature a wider showering area, providing additional standing room and making everyday use more comfortable and practical.
These versatile bath and shower combinations are particularly popular in Perth homes where space is limited. They provide the flexibility of a shower for daily use while still offering a comfortable bathing space for relaxation, children or guests.
Shower Bath Sizes
Choosing the right size shower bath is important for both comfort and functionality. We offer a range of popular sizes to suit different bathroom layouts and household needs.
1500mm Shower Baths
Ideal for smaller bathrooms, apartments and ensuites, a 1500mm shower bath maximises available space while still providing a practical bathing and showering solution. These compact models are perfect when every millimetre counts.
1600mm Shower Baths
A 1600mm shower bath provides additional bathing comfort while maintaining a relatively compact footprint. This size is a popular option for homeowners wanting a little more room without compromising their bathroom layout.
1700mm Shower Baths (Most Popular)
The 1700mm shower bath is the most commonly chosen size for family bathrooms. Offering generous bathing space and comfortable showering functionality, it provides an excellent balance between practicality and comfort.
1800mm Shower Baths
For larger bathrooms, an 1800mm shower bath delivers a more luxurious experience. These spacious models allow for deeper relaxation while still providing the convenience of a shower-over-bath configuration.
Left-Hand vs Right-Hand (Tap-End) Drainage
One of the key considerations when selecting a shower bath is choosing the correct orientation. Left-hand and right-hand configurations refer to the location of the tap end and waste when facing the bath.
Selecting the correct layout helps ensure your plumbing, shower screen and overall bathroom design work together seamlessly. Our team can help determine the best option based on your renovation plans or existing plumbing setup.
Pair Your Shower Bath with the Right Screen and Tapware
A shower bath performs best when combined with suitable accessories. Installing a quality shower screen helps minimise water splashes while maintaining a clean, modern appearance. Many homeowners now prefer glass shower screens over traditional curtains for a more contemporary finish.
Matching your shower bath with the right tapware and diverter mixers also improves functionality and creates a coordinated bathroom design. Selecting compatible fixtures ensures a practical and stylish result.
Popular Shower Bath Brands
Quality plays an important role in the comfort, durability and long-term performance of any shower bath. Features such as reinforced construction, ergonomic designs, quality acrylic materials and slip-resistant surfaces can significantly improve everyday use.
Bathroom International carefully selects trusted brands that are suited to Australian homes and conditions, ensuring our customers receive products designed for lasting performance and reliability.
Shower Bath vs Separate Bath and Shower
For many Perth homeowners, a shower bath provides the perfect balance between functionality and space efficiency. By combining two essential fixtures into one, it frees up valuable floor space without sacrificing comfort.
Separate baths and showers may be suitable for larger bathrooms where space is not a concern. However, for compact layouts, family bathrooms and practical renovations, a shower bath often represents the smarter solution.

Common Questions About Shower Baths
Can I retrofit a shower bath into an existing bathroom?
In many cases, yes. Shower baths are commonly installed during bathroom renovations and can often replace an existing bath. Installation requirements will depend on your available space, plumbing layout and shower screen selection.
Will my bathroom floor support a shower bath?
Most modern homes are designed to accommodate standard bath installations. However, structural requirements may vary depending on the property and the size of the bath. Your builder or installer can provide advice during the planning stage.
What is the best non-slip option for a shower bath?
Many shower baths feature textured or slip-resistant surfaces for improved safety. Additional anti-slip treatments or bath mats can also be used to enhance stability, making them particularly suitable for family bathrooms and households with older occupants.
