All You Need to Know About Soaking Tubs
Incorporating a soaking tub into your bathroom remodel is a great way to elevate the aesthetics and functionality of the space. Bath Planet of Boston explains everything you need to know about it, including its common features and important considerations to keep in mind.

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.
