With winter in full swing, many of you will be enjoying the pleasures of a long, relaxing soak in a bath - and even some filled with bubbles. Nothing is more enjoyable than a hot soak in the tub after a cold day. This is why it’s important to make sure that the type of bath you own is perfectly suites your style and comfort.

Today, there are so many different types of baths on the market that we are spoilt for choice. Let ON•TAP, the specialists in bathroom retail, take you through the choices on offer:
When we look back on baths in the 20th century, we can't help but cringe. I’m sure you remember those olive green bathroom sets. Today, there are so many different types of baths on the market that we are spoilt for choice. Let ON•TAP, the specialists in bathroom retail, take you through the choices on offer:
The Free Standing Bath
This is a timeless, classic option to go for if you have a large bathroom with plenty of floor space. Purchasing the bath can be costly, but the benefits will last a lifetime. Victoria + Albert baths, available at ON•TAP, are at the forefront of freestanding bath innovations. Each V+A bath is hand crafted from 100% Quarraycast material which helps to retain heat and can be polished to remove any scratches. The current trend with freestanding baths, is that one can use it to add glamour to the bedroom, an experience in the outdoors, or even place two next to each other for romance without space limitations.The Corner Bath
Corner baths are great for smaller bathrooms, as you can still enjoy a rather large bath without compromising on too much floor space. Libra makes great quality corner baths, available from ON•TAP, in a variety of styles. A popular idea is to install the corner bath on a raised platform with steps leading up to the bath. For even greater results, a window right by this bath gives the illusion of open spaces, perfect for even the smallest of bathrooms.The Spa Bath
Spa baths are making a big comeback this season with the re-launch of Duravit in South Africa. Duravit, which is also available from ON•TAP, produces top of the range spa baths that even come with aroma theraphy lights to illuminate the water, thus encouraging deeper relaxation. Who needs a candle lit bath when you can change the water colour from pink to blue? The various jets and bubble options stimulate ones circulation as well as massaging the feet and lower back.Endless possibilities
Like with all home renovation projects, the decisions you make are primarily based on the space and budget you have available, but what other factors can you look at to help you make the right decision? Firstly, look at the type of bath you would like to go with; freestanding, corner or spa? Next is style; will it be modern, classic or Victorian? And lastly, comfort. If it looks great, fits perfectly and falls within your budget, it’s time to test the comfort of the bath. This is why the specialists at ON•TAP encourage their customers to take the baths for a test! All you need to do is: visit your nearest ON•TAP, pick those you fancy and sit in them. If it’s comfortable too, you have a winner!ON•TAP will provide free advice and information on local and international bathroom brands to help you make the right choice for your home.
