I've always thought this is what I'd put in our boat if I was redoing the bathroom. Carron's is called a 'sit bath' (1200 x 700), Bette's is a 'seat bath' (1500 x 700) and there's also a Bette 'hip bath' which is a bit shorter. There's Trojan's Kent Sit In Bath (1200 x 700) which, at around £141 seems to be easily the most reasonably priced.

 

Is this what you meant??

I got my "sit-bath" from Midland Chandlers. It's about 4' x 2'. Much better thana shower base and you can use it for washing clothes as well.. Use it for 'navy showers' and you use very little water.

Ive used a number of these in past boats, made originally by Thompson Plastics and sold by Midland Chandlers.

There was a straight version at about 2 X 4 foot as mentioned above, also a corner model with a rounded front edge I seem to remember.

The Bette ones are steel if you don't like the plastic moulded Chandlery ones.

Ive got a brand new one still in the wrapping if anyone wants it cheap

They sell what they call small bird bathes in garden centres and pet shops,and much cheeper than the chandlers.

Someone mentioned one on Twitter. Hope this helps.

Omni Tub is what I have and love. Proper bath in a small tub - seat just means you get your feet wet and most of you cold!! Based on a Japanese bath.

Pricy, but I'd have one even in a house

We stock both the small bath with the seat in and a small plain bath. They are on special offer during March:

These can easily be made from a Quality Street toffee tin,a pleasing shape too,there's millions of them about after Christmas ''very useful''just make a hole for the waste and let it into your unit. The lids make a good tray for serving drinks on, so nothings wasted.

I was thinking more in terms of a plastic 5 ltr oil can with the side cut out. The screw cap end being utilised as an overflow, and the handle making it truly portable

Yes that has possibilities,it wouldn't go rusty either.

Morris's oil cans are a nicely appropriate dark aqua blue,the handle would be useful too if you wished to put it on the floor as a foot bath.

It's not for me, it's for the wife-it's got to be white, no other colour will do (that's why the cream hip bath has had to be replaced by a white shower). She wants something professional. Are there any bespoke porcelain or plastic craftsmen out there?

Soldthehouse is,with plastic oil cans anyway. Seriously though,why not adapt a white washing up bowl from Wilkinsons they're only a £ or so.

Hip bathes are very easy to make out of an old tea chest,just cut half of one side out,put a seat in it seal it with waterproofing and paint it white gloss and Bobs yer uncle.
