Bath Caddies

A bath caddy is a flat tray that sits across the rim of your bath and keeps a book, phone, soap, candle or glass of wine within reach. You'll also see them called bath trays, bathtub caddies or bath bridges. Same product, different name. This collection covers bamboo, stainless steel, solid surface and timber options, with features like book holders, device slots, wine glass cut-outs and extendable arms. They suit freestanding and built-in baths, as long as you check the fit before ordering.

Materials and features: what each one's good for

Material is the biggest decision you'll make. Each one handles bathroom moisture differently and asks for a different level of upkeep.

Features worth thinking about: a book or tablet stand, a wine glass slot, a small dish for soap, and extendable arms if your bath sits outside standard widths.

Will it fit your bath? Here's what to check

Most Australian baths have an internal width between 700mm and 800mm, but rim profiles vary more than you'd expect. Measure across the outside of the rim, edge to edge. That's the span your caddy needs to cover, not the internal water area.

A few quick checks before you order:

- Rim-to-rim width across the outside of the bath
- Rim thickness, so the caddy sits flat and doesn't rock
- Whether your bath is freestanding or built-in. Some freestanding baths have thinner, curved rims that suit caddies with rubber grips or adjustable arms

If you're between sizes or unsure, an extendable bath caddy is the safer pick. The arms slide out to span a range of widths and grip the outside of the rim.

Keeping your caddy in good nick

Care depends on the material. None of it's hard.

Bamboo: Wipe dry after each use. Re-oil every few months with food-safe mineral or bamboo oil so it doesn't dry out or split.

Stainless steel: Wipe down with a soft cloth. Skip abrasive scourers and harsh cleaners so the finish stays sharp.

Solid surface: Soap and warm water is enough. Avoid bleach or strong chemical cleaners.

Timber: Keep it out of standing water. Dry it off and store it somewhere ventilated between baths.
