1400mm Baths Buying Guide


At 1400mm, a bath asks for genuinely less floor space than the more common 1500mm to 1700mm range, making it a considered choice when a full bath is wanted but the room simply can't spare the extra length.

Choosing an installation type

Freestanding baths stand independently with no wall contact, a genuine statement piece even at a compact length, requiring floor-mounted tapware and clear floor space around the unit. Back to wall baths bring the same freestanding look with one flat side sitting flush against the wall, staying space-efficient while keeping the elevated aesthetic. Corner baths use an underused corner of the room, often genuinely practical in a smaller bathroom layout. Spa baths add jet systems for a therapeutic massage effect, even within the more compact 1400mm footprint. Tile flange baths are built for a tiled hob or frame, the classic, practical built-in configuration.

Choosing a shape

This collection spans oval, rectangular and round profiles. Rectangular remains the versatile, go-to choice for a built-in configuration. Oval suits a freestanding installation particularly well, and round brings a genuinely more compact, deep-soak character well matched to the shorter overall length.

Choosing a material

Acrylic remains the standard, cost-effective choice, lightweight and straightforward to install, with strong heat retention keeping bathwater warmer for longer. Stone and solid surface bring a genuinely more premium, substantial feel, well suited to a bathroom wanting the bath itself to be a considered design statement even at a smaller scale.

Is a 1400mm bath big enough?

A 1400mm bath suits most adults for a comfortable soak, though it offers noticeably less legroom than a 1500mm or 1700mm bath. It's a genuinely practical choice for a smaller ensuite or bathroom, or for a household prioritising floor space over maximum bath length.

What size bathroom suits a 1400mm bath?

A 1400mm bath fits comfortably in a smaller ensuite or bathroom, generally requiring a floor area of around 2m² to 2.5m² once clearance around the unit is accounted for, making it noticeably more space-efficient than a standard 1700mm bath.

Can a 1400mm bath be a spa bath?

Yes. Spa bath jet systems are available even within the more compact 1400mm length, giving a therapeutic massage experience without needing the floor space a longer bath demands.

How do I clean and maintain an acrylic bath?

A soft cloth with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent is all that's usually needed, since acrylic resists staining and doesn't allow grime to soak in. Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and harsh chemical cleaners are worth avoiding, since they can dull or scratch the acrylic surface over time.

Completing the bathroom

A 1400mm bath is easiest to finalise alongside its tapware, since spout position and mounting style both depend on the bath's installation type. The Blue Space's Bath Taps and Bath Wastes collections are worth reviewing alongside a 1400mm bath selection to bring the full bathroom together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 1400mm bath big enough?

For most adults, yes, as a comfortable soak rather than a full stretched-out lie-down. 1400mm sits at the shorter end of the standard Australian range, so it suits anyone under roughly average height well and taller adults reasonably, but it won't give the legroom of a 1600mm or 1700mm tub. It's a common choice for a second bathroom, a family bathroom shared with kids, or any space where you want a proper bath without giving up much floor area.

What is the price of a 1400mm freestanding bathtub?

Price is driven mainly by material and finish rather than length alone. Acrylic 1400mm baths sit at the more affordable end of the range, while cast stone or stone resin versions cost noticeably more due to the material and weight involved. Rather than quoting a single figure, it's more useful to compare finish and construction across a few options at this length, since two 1400mm baths in different materials can land at very different price points.

How does a 1200mm bath compare in size?

It can be for taller adults or households that want a proper soak, though it still works well in a very tight ensuite or as a compact second bath. If floor space is genuinely limited, 1200mm is often the only length that fits. For the full picture on that size specifically, see 1200mm baths.

What is a standard size for a bath in Australia?

There isn't one single standard, Australian baths commonly run from around 1200mm up to 1700mm and beyond, in roughly 100mm increments. 1400mm to 1600mm covers the bulk of family bathroom installs, since it balances comfortable use with reasonable floor space demands. The right length for your project comes down to the room's dimensions and who's using the bath, not a single industry default.

Will a 1400mm bath fit where my old bath was?

Only if you measure and check, don't assume. Older Australian homes were often built around 1500mm to 1675mm baths, so a 1400mm replacement may leave a gap at one end that needs infill tiling or a support ledge, and a longer replacement may not fit the recess at all. Always measure the existing alcove width, depth and length before ordering, and check the waste and overflow positions line up or can be adjusted.

Does a 1400mm bath need any special plumbing?

Not usually, standard waste and overflow fittings sit in the same rough-in range as other bath lengths. What does matter is confirming tap and spout position against the bath's actual tap hole layout before tiling, since this varies by model. A licensed plumber should sign off on rough-in measurements before the waterproofing membrane goes down, in line with AS 3740 requirements for wet areas.
