Bathroom Finishes
Freestanding Bathtub
A freestanding bathtub is a statement piece that transforms a bathroom from functional to luxurious. Whether it's included as standard or charged as a premium upgrade can add $1,500–$5,000+ to the bathroom cost — and it's one of the most eye-catching features in a display home.

What is it?
A freestanding bathtub is a bath that stands alone on the bathroom floor, not built into a wall or surrounded by a tiled hob. It's the centrepiece of a premium bathroom and comes in various shapes (oval, rectangular, slipper) and materials (acrylic, cast iron, stone composite). Most builders include a built-in bath as standard, with freestanding as a paid upgrade.
Why buyers compare it
- A freestanding bath is a visual centrepiece that elevates the entire bathroom
- Display home ensuites almost always feature freestanding baths, not built-in
- The upgrade can add $1,500–$5,000+ depending on material and brand
- Some builders include freestanding baths in upper-tier packages as standard

Compare My Build Tip
Check whether the freestanding bath upgrade includes the floor waste relocation and additional waterproofing. A freestanding bath often sits in a different position to a built-in bath, and relocating the waste pipe and reinforcing the floor can add hidden costs beyond the bath itself.
