This illustrative bath drops into a tiled surround so that only its flat rim lip shows. Choose a colour and a 1500 mm or 1700 mm length, and the configuration is ready to send.
A bath is the largest fixed item in most bathrooms, and its length is usually set by the room before anyone looks at colours. The shorter length suits a tight end wall; the longer one gives room to stretch out but needs the space. Colour is the more emotional choice. Pale blue and biscuit are a deliberate step away from white, and buyers want to see them in a real setting first.

What you can configure
The demo offers gloss white, biscuit, stone grey and pale blue, four of six colours, in 1500 mm or 1700 mm. Once the bath is set into a deck, its colour is seen mainly on the inner surfaces, framed by whatever tile surrounds it. Length is held in the summary and does not alter the image in this version.

Why a configurator suits baths
A bath is expensive to deliver and very expensive to return. It usually travels on a pallet or with a two-person crew, and once the surround is built around it, it is staying. Certainty before the order matters more here than for almost any other bathroom product. That is why many coloured baths are still bought only after a showroom visit.
A configurator can carry more of the showroom online. Six colours in two lengths give twelve baths, and each could be rendered into a tiled surround like the buyer's own. Adding the tile or deck finish as an option shows pale blue against travertine rather than on white. That is what the buyer is actually trying to picture.
The length choice also links to the rest of the room. Given the space available, the configurator can confirm which length fits and add the waste, filler or taps in a chosen finish. The retailer then receives a complete specification with delivery details captured, rather than a bath alone and a list of follow-up questions.
How a production version would be built
I would render the shell into a tiled deck from a raised corner angle, so the interior and rim lip both show. A second view comes from above. Rendering is the practical route, because photographing twelve baths in a built surround is a set-building exercise. Lengths, widths, depth, SKUs and lead times by colour come from the retailer. Orders go to a quote with delivery questions such as access and floor level, or to a basket. That rendering work is covered under 3D product visualisation.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Length choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if lengths can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about bath configurators
Can the configurator show the bath inside a tiled surround?
Yes. Rendering the bath into a deck lets the tile or surround finish become its own option. Buyers then see the colour as it will appear, framed by tile, rather than as a loose shell. A few surround finishes, such as stone, white tile and timber, usually cover most tastes without overwhelming the choice.
Can it check whether a 1700 mm bath will fit?
As a guide, yes. The customer enters the length of the wall or alcove. The configurator compares it with each bath, allowing for the deck and any tiling tolerance you specify. It cannot replace a site survey, but it stops clear mismatches before the quote stage.
Can we capture delivery details for a bath order?
We can. Baths often need delivery questions answered before dispatch: floor level, stair access, door widths and whether a two-person crew is needed. These form a short step after configuration, saved with the order or quote. The delivery team can then plan the drop without phoning the customer.
Does a coloured bath need a showroom visit, or can it sell online?
Both channels work best together. Calibrated images and a realistic surround give many buyers enough confidence to order online. Others will still want to see it, so the configurator can save the specification and book a showroom appointment with it attached. The showroom team then starts from the customer's exact choice.
