Freestanding bathtubs are a symbol of luxury, elegance, and modern bathroom design. They offer a stunning centerpiece for any bathroom, providing a touch of sophistication and a spa-like feel to your space. However, one common pain point that many people face when it comes to freestanding bathtubs is the difficulty in cleaning behind them. For years, homeowners and designers alike have had to contend with this frustrating issue.
Recognizing this challenge, Glyn Laing from Tyrrell & Laing International had a brilliant idea—creating a custom tub surround designed specifically for our freestanding bathtubs. This new option not only addresses the cleaning concerns but adds an extra touch of functionality and style to your bathroom.
A Game-Changer for Freestanding Bathtubs: Custom Tub Surrounds
When it comes to freestanding bathtubs, their aesthetic appeal is undeniable. However, many homeowners find that maintaining a pristine look can be a challenge. Dust and grime can easily accumulate behind the tub, and cleaning in these hard-to-reach areas becomes a tedious task.
That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our custom tub surround option for freestanding bathtubs, a truly unique offering that no one else is doing. Our custom tub surrounds are designed to fit seamlessly with our range of bathtubs, providing a perfect solution for easier cleaning and added convenience.
Made from our signature InspireStone® material, they offer the same luxurious feel and durability that our customers know and love.
The Benefits of Our Custom Tub Surround
Our custom tub surrounds provide several advantages that go beyond just aesthetic appeal. Here are some of the key benefits that make this new addition a must-have for your freestanding bathtub:
- Easier Cleaning and Maintenance
The most obvious benefit of a custom tub surround is the ease of cleaning. Freestanding bathtubs often leave a gap between the wall and the tub, making it difficult to reach those spaces for cleaning. With our custom tub surround, this problem is solved. The surround fits perfectly around the bathtub, closing off those hard-to-reach areas and making it much easier to keep your bathroom spotless.
Just like our bathtubs, the surround needs to be siliconed to the floor to ensure a secure fit. This seamless installation not only prevents water from seeping underneath but also keeps dust and dirt at bay.
- A Seamless and Stylish Design
Our custom tub surround is designed to complement the clean lines and curves of our freestanding bathtubs. It provides a seamless look that blends effortlessly into the overall bathroom design. Available in matte or gloss finishes, and in both black and white, it’s easy to find a surround option that suits your bathroom’s style and color scheme.
The surround adds a layer of sophistication, turning your bathtub into a true focal point while keeping the look modern and minimalistic.
- Multi-Functional: Use It as a Shelf for Bath Necessities
In addition to solving cleaning challenges, the custom tub surround offers a practical solution for bath storage. The surround can double as a shelf for your bath essentials—think candles, bath oils, a glass of wine, or decorative items. This added functionality makes it easier to keep your bath products within reach while soaking in the tub and adds an extra layer of convenience to your bathing experience.
- Durable and Made to Last
Just like our bathtubs, our custom tub surrounds are made from our exclusive InspireStone® material. This stone composite is non-porous, stain-resistant, and mold- and mildew-resistant. It’s also highly durable and capable of withstanding the demands of everyday use, ensuring that your surround stays looking as beautiful as the day it was installed.
The same benefits you enjoy with our freestanding bathtubs carry over to the surround. The material feels warm to the touch, retains the heat of the water for longer, and requires minimal maintenance. You get to experience luxury and quality in every aspect of your bathroom.
Designed to Fit Each Bathtub Perfectly
Our custom tub surrounds are made to order and specifically designed to fit each of our freestanding bathtubs perfectly. Whether you have the elegant Slipper Bathtub or one of our other contemporary models, we ensure that your surround is a perfect match for your tub’s shape and dimensions.
This level of customization ensures a flawless fit, with no unsightly gaps or misalignments. The surround is integrated seamlessly with the bathtub, providing a cohesive and polished look that enhances the overall design of your bathroom.
Custom Tub Surround for the Slipper Bathtub
One of the first bathtubs to feature our custom tub surround is the Slipper Bathtub. Known for its graceful, ergonomic design, the Slipper Bathtub is a true statement piece. The addition of a custom surround enhances the bathtub’s visual appeal while adding the practicality of easy cleaning and a built-in shelf.
This surround is tailored specifically for the Slipper Bathtub, complementing its classic curves and adding a new level of luxury. Whether you choose a matte black finish for a bold, dramatic look or a glossy white finish for a clean, contemporary feel, the custom tub surround perfectly frames the Slipper Bathtub and elevates the bathroom’s overall design.
Available in Multiple Finishes
Customization is key when it comes to creating a luxurious bathroom, and we’ve ensured that our custom tub surrounds can be personalized to your preferences. The surrounds are available in the same finishes as our bathtubs, with options in matte or gloss and color choices of black or white.
This flexibility allows you to create a look that suits your style, whether you want a monochromatic aesthetic with matching bathtub and surround or prefer a contrasting finish to make the bathtub stand out.
How to Install the Custom Tub Surround
Just like our bathtubs, the custom tub surround needs to be siliconed to the floor during installation. This ensures a secure and watertight fit, preventing any water from seeping under the surround and keeping the area free from mold or mildew.
Our installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for attaching the surround, and we recommend hiring a professional installer for the best results. Once installed, you’ll immediately notice the difference in the appearance of your bathroom and the ease of maintenance.
Transform Your Bathroom with the Perfect Finishing Touch
The introduction of our custom tub surrounds provides a unique opportunity to enhance your freestanding bathtub experience. Not only do they solve the problem of cleaning behind the tub, but they also add extra functionality and style to your bathroom.
