View all productsDecina Alegra freestanding spa baths
The Alegra range is a small collection of freestanding spa baths from Decina, with four models to choose from. A spa bath differs from a standard bath by including a jet or hydrotherapy function, so instead of simply holding water for soaking, it circulates water through jets for a more active, therapeutic bathing experience. Freestanding means the bath stands on its own rather than being built into a surrounding frame or wall recess, so it suits bathrooms where the bath is intended as a visual centrepiece as well as a functional fixture.
What a spa bath offers over a standard bath
The main difference is the jet function. Where a standard bath relies on still water for soaking, a spa bath adds circulating water aimed at relaxation or muscle relief, which suits anyone who wants more than a simple soak from their bathing routine. If hydrotherapy is not a priority for you, a standard freestanding bath may suit better and typically has fewer installation requirements.
Freestanding installation considerations
Because a freestanding bath does not require wall support on all sides, it gives more flexibility in where it can be positioned within a bathroom, provided there is enough floor space and clearance around it. Plumbing access still needs to be planned, either from below the floor or from behind the bath, depending on the model and the bathroom's layout. It is worth confirming plumbing access with your renovator or plumber early, since retrofitting access after floors and walls are finished is far more disruptive.
Buying considerations
- Floor space and clearance: freestanding baths need clear space around them to be installed and to be used comfortably, so measure the intended position against the bath's full external dimensions, not just its bathing capacity.
- Plumbing access: check whether the model requires access from below the floor or from behind, and confirm this is achievable in your bathroom's layout before ordering.
- Electrical requirements: spa baths need power to run the pump for the jet function, so an electrical connection needs to be planned as part of the installation, generally in consultation with a licensed electrician.
- Jet configuration: confirm the specific jet details for the model you are considering directly on the product listing, as this can vary within the range.
Who this range suits
The Alegra range suits bathroom renovations where a freestanding bath is planned as a feature and where hydrotherapy is a priority over a simple soaking bath. With only four models in the range, it is a straightforward range to compare rather than a large catalogue to work through.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a spa bath and a regular bath?
A spa bath includes a jet function that circulates water for hydrotherapy and relaxation, while a standard bath simply holds still water for soaking. If you want an active bathing experience rather than a plain soak, a spa bath is the relevant option.
Does a freestanding spa bath need special plumbing?
Freestanding baths need plumbing access either from below the floor or from behind the bath, depending on the model and your bathroom layout. It is worth confirming this with your plumber before purchase, since access needs to be planned ahead of tiling and flooring work.
Do spa baths need an electrician for installation?
Yes. The jet function relies on a pump that runs on mains power, so an electrical connection needs to be included in the installation. This is generally arranged alongside your plumbing work when the bath is installed.
How much floor space does a freestanding bath need?
You need clearance around the full external dimensions of the bath, not just its internal bathing capacity, since freestanding baths are installed with open space on multiple sides rather than being enclosed by walls. Check the exact dimensions of the model you are considering against your bathroom's available floor space.
How many models are in the Alegra range?
The Alegra range from Decina includes four freestanding spa bath models. This makes it a compact range to compare directly rather than a large catalogue, so checking the individual product listings for dimensions and jet configuration is a straightforward process.
