Compact spa baths, made in Melbourne.

AQVA makes deep-soak spa baths 1140 mm and 1300 mm long, for one or two people, as an insert or freestanding. You sit upright in the water rather than lying back, so the bath takes less of the room.

Made to order in Melbourne since 1994.

02Freestanding or insert

Freestanding or insert spa bath?

An insert spa bath is built into a hob or surround and is the more economical option. A freestanding spa bath stands on its own on a solid flat base and is finished on all sides, so it can be seen from anywhere in the room. Every model above comes both ways.

  • Insert suits a renovation or new build where a hob or surround is being built anyway, or where cost matters most.
  • Freestanding suits a room where the bath stands clear of the walls as a finished piece, with no hob to build.

03Small bathrooms

Spa baths for small bathrooms.

A standard Australian bath is typically 1500–1800 mm long. AQVA spa baths are 1140 mm or 1300 mm long and built deep instead, with an integrated seat, so you sit upright with the water around you. Depth replaces length, and the floor you save goes back to the room.

  • Pastille 1140 is the most compact: suited to ensuites, apartments and renovations where floor length is the constraint.
  • Haiku Solo 1300 gives one person more room to stretch.
  • Haiku 1300 seats two in the same 1300 mm length, so a two-person spa bath doesn't need a longer room.

04Planning and installation

Planning a spa bath.

Every AQVA spa bath is made to order, so it is specified with your project. Full specifications and drawings, including the exact rough-in and waste position, are confirmed in writing with your quote.

What we need to advise you

  • Room dimensions, or a floor plan
  • Where the waste and water come in
  • Access — doorways, stairs, corners
  • Whether you're specifying for yourself, a builder or an architect

What to expect

  • Insert models are built into a hob or surround. Freestanding models sit on a solid flat base.
  • Baths and spas must be installed and connected by appropriately licensed tradespeople, including a licensed plumber.
  • Every pump and spa system is pressure-tested before it leaves the factory.
  • Pumps, jets and fittings are imported. The bath itself is made in Melbourne.
  • Lead time is confirmed in writing with your quote.
