1500mm Corner Baths: Right-Hand Corner Installations

A right-hand 1500mm corner bath mirrors the left-hand version, placing the tap and deeper end on the right as you look at the tub. It's the layout to choose when your plumbing wall sits on the right of the corner. Matching the bath's hand to the room is the key to a tidy install and comfortable everyday use.

Choosing the right hand

Orientation is read from the open side, looking toward the bath. A right-hand corner bath has its waste and tap on the right, so it fits a corner where the services come in on that side. Picking the correct hand keeps pipe runs short and puts the tap where your hand naturally falls, which is easy to overlook until the bath is in and the tap is on the wrong side.

Fitting a compact corner tub

At 1500mm the bath tucks into the corner and keeps the rest of the floor free, which often leaves room for a separate shower or an open, easy-to-move-through layout. A back-to-wall design meets both walls with no gap behind, so it stays clean and looks purpose-built rather than added on. It’s a practical way to keep a bath in a room that can’t spare much space.

Plumbing and finishing details

Set out the waste, overflow and tap to suit the right-hand configuration before the walls are tiled, and leave the trap accessible for maintenance. Running the tiles down to the rim gives a seamless, built-in finish. Confirm a safe step-over height and a clear approach on the open side so the bath is easy and comfortable to use.

Seeing the options together

Left- and right-hand baths and different sizes all suit different rooms. Have a look at the range of baths at Just Bathrooms, a showroom on the South Coast of NSW, to compare corner layouts in person.
