Choose a shell colour and a length for this illustrative sloped-back bath, and the summary records the build ready for a quote. Many single-ended baths like this end up set into a tiled platform or deck.
The person buying a single-ended bath is really choosing where they will lie back. The backrest angle and lumbar curve decide whether a long soak is comfortable. The length decides whether a taller bather can stretch out or ends up with raised knees. Colour comes next. Once the bath is boxed into a platform, the inside of the shell is almost all anyone sees. The finish has to sit well against the tiles around it.

What you can configure
Four of the six finishes are in the demo: gloss white, biscuit, pale blue and stone grey. Sage and matte black would follow in a full build. Length is the second choice, at 1500 or 1650 mm. That 150 mm can be the difference between reusing an existing space and moving a stud wall, so it deserves the same weight as colour. The length is recorded in the summary but does not change the image here.

Why a configurator suits baths
Bath showrooms rarely have floor space for more than one or two colours of each model. A coloured bath is a large thing to buy from a small swatch. Customers who cannot picture biscuit or pale blue at full size tend to default to white, or leave to think about it and do not come back.
Six finishes across two lengths gives twelve versions of one bath. A configurator shows each finish on the actual shape, so the conversation moves on from how it looks to whether it fits. The length then arrives on the order as a selected option, not a figure scribbled on an enquiry form and interpreted by whoever processes it.
Coloured baths are often ordered in after the sale, which raises the stakes. A configured order states shell colour, length and any fitting notes in one place, which is what the supplier needs to confirm a lead time. Getting it right first time avoids collecting a wrong-coloured bath that cannot easily be resold.
How a production version would be built
An image-based build suits a bath, because the camera can stay fixed while only the shell finish changes. Each finish is rendered or photographed at both lengths, or one length is shown with a dimension overlay. For a bath sold inset, a view from above earns its place, as that is the angle most people will see it from. I would need finish names, lengths, overflow and waste options, and lead times by colour. The configured bath can go to a quote, or to the basket as a variant through Shopify or WooCommerce.
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 how the bath looks once it is tiled into a platform?
A second camera angle can show exactly that: the shell set into a deck or tiled surround, with the finish changing inside it. That view matters for inset baths because the outer sides are never seen. The surround can be a neutral tile, or one of a short list of tile choices in a fuller build.
How do customers know whether 1500 or 1650 mm will fit their room?
The configurator can ask for the space available and flag a length that will not fit, allowing for wall tolerances and tiling. It cannot replace a survey, but it catches the obvious mistakes before an order is placed. I show the external dimensions beside each length so the figure the customer reads matches the one the fitter uses.
Can a sloped backrest be shown from more than one angle?
It can. Most bath images are taken from the tap end or straight above, which flattens the backrest. A side elevation or three-quarter view lets buyers judge the recline. Those views can be added per finish without reshooting the range, provided the camera positions are fixed from the start.
How long does it take to build a bath configurator?
It depends mostly on the images. If you already have consistent renders of each finish, configuring a single bath is a modest job. If photography or 3D models are needed first, that sets the timeline. I agree the scope before starting, and I reply to enquiries within two UK working days.
