P-Shaped Baths

What Is a P-Shaped Bath?

A P-shaped bath is a shower bath with a curved, rounded wider end — the shape that gives it its name, as the outline resembles the letter P. This distinguishes it from an L-shaped shower bath, which has a square-cornered wider end. The curved showering end typically measures around 850mm at its widest point, providing comfortable standing room for showering with a screen above. With 11 P-shaped baths in the range, Bathroom Republic stocks models at 1500mm and 1700mm lengths in both left-hand and right-hand configurations. For square-ended shower baths, see the Shower Baths collection.

Left-Hand vs Right-Hand, and What to Pair With a P-Shaped Bath

The hand refers to which side the curved showering end sits on when you stand at the foot of the bath and face the tap wall: left-hand means the curved end is on your left; right-hand means it is on your right. The curved profile requires a P-shaped bath shower screen rather than a standard L-shaped screen — P-shaped screens have a curved section that aligns with the rounded bath end and a flat section for the straight side. Ensure the screen hand matches the bath hand when ordering. To complete the installation, pair with a P-shaped bath shower screen and bath taps.
