Soaking Tub’s Features

A soaking tub is designed for full-body immersion. It is deeper and more spacious than a traditional bathtub, with an average height of 23 inches. It provides the ultimate in relaxation, allowing you to lie back and soak away the stress after a long day. It also provides the perfect blend of luxury and comfort, enhancing your bathroom’s appearance and utility.

Should You Install a Soaking Tub?

Choosing a soaking tub is a decision that involves careful thought and consideration. One of the factors to consider is the material it is made of. Popular choices include:

  • Acrylic. Its flexibility and non-porous surface makes it an affordable option. However, proper care is important to ensure it doesn’t accumulate scratches and stains over time.
  • Enameled Cast Iron. This durable option retains more heat and is easier to clean than acrylic. Structural considerations must be made prior to installation because of its weight.
  • Stone Resin. Another non-porous tub material choice, it can resist fading, last long and retain heat just like cast iron.

As with all types of bathtubs, the current bathroom space you have and its accessibility are also worth considering when determining whether to install a soaking tub. Check if there’s enough room for it and whether the ones who’ll be using it can access it safely and comfortably.

Three great projects!

We had three projects just completed in our home. A shower replacement, a bathtub/shower replacement and an oversized bathtub converted to a large shower. Our installer was Matt Collins who did an outstanding job!! He was very skilled in the whole demolition and reconstruction process. We highly recommend Bath Planet and especially Matt Collins for a beautiful bathroom upgrade!!

FANTASTIC WORK!!!

Robert M.
Joel David & Jackson did an Excellent professional job of installing New Acrylic Shower with bench & 3 Grab Bars. They lowered the entrance way by 4 inches and opened the doorway by 6 inches, making it much more “user friendly”. Both were very skilled and did an excellent job of high craftsmanship. Installed a new shower head and faucet to complete the job.
