Supported on three sides by walls (two in the case of corner tubs), these recessed tubs can be very basic, or offer upgraded features such as soaking depths or whirlpool jets. Many also have molded armrests, backrests and shelves to add to your comfort level while bathing. Regardless of their features though, alcove tubs are still the most affordable type. Shower/tub combos are usually alcove-style.

They are deeper than conventional tubs, but may be wider or narrower, depending upon their purpose. Some soaking tubs are made to accommodate two adults, others are designed for sitting upright and soaking. Soaking tubs can be very heavy and might require a reinforced floor. They also require a lot of hot water, so a separate hot water heater or some other dedicated system to provide sufficient hot water may be necessary.

Walk-in tubs reduce that hurdle to about 4 inches, in addition to providing other features that prevent slipping and help the user stay comfortable and safe.
However, you need to get into the tub and close the watertight door before filling it with water, then let it drain before getting out, which may be a chilly wait. They're expensive too, both to purchase and to install. Bathtub Refinishing and Liners Cheaper than replacing a tubMany options for including walls, shelving, etc.Installation faster than replacing a tub Must use a similar tub in the same locationLiners feel like plasticInstallation sometimes tricky Because installation costs far exceed the price of most new bathtubs, you can save thousands of dollars by either having your old bathtub refinished or having an acrylic tub liner fitted over the old tub. While refinishing, or reglazing, an old tub may be doable for DIY-oriented homeowners, installing liners are generally not something most do-it-yourselfers can handle. Fortunately, there are plenty of companies out there who specialize in this type of project. Anyone can claim expertise, though, so be sure to get local reviews and/or references.
This stainless-steel corner tub from Diamond Spas fits a small bath. To avoid taking a bath when you're buying a tub, it's best to know what you're looking for first. This purchase may seem like a no-brainer, but there's more to consider than your color scheme before pulling out your wallet. First, decide if you really want a bathtub at all. Showers usually get a daily workout, versus a bathtub's occasional use. If a hot soak relieves stress, then keep reading. But if you aren't into baths, consider going without, especially if space is tight. You can put that saved space toward an extra large shower with a bench. Like real estate, location is the buzz word with bathtubs. If you're doing a remodel, you'll save a lot in plumbing costs by leaving the tub (and other fixtures) in its original location. Once you've decided where to put the tub, its location will dictate the kind of tub you need. The three-wall alcove or recessed bathtub is one of the most commonly installed styles.
These tubs have walls on three sides. Typically, only one side of the tub is finished, because only one side is visible. If the tub will double as a shower, the walls need to be waterproof. The Double Wall tub from Neo-Metro keeps water warm for hours. A corner tub is triangular and also usually has only one of its sides finished because the other two are against walls. The visible wall can be curved, like this stainless steel corner tub from Diamond Spas that can fit two people. A drop-in tub is supported on all sides by a frame. It may be up on a platform or — to go in the opposite direction — set below floor level. Many drop-in tubs are made of lightweight acrylic and as such can be deeper and larger than a tub made from heavier material. They also may come with molded seats, for a more comfortable bathing experience. A freestanding tub stands alone, sometimes on feet as a clawfoot tub and sometimes in a base. It tends to be a focal point of the bathroom, and can make a powerful design statement either for a period tub like Porcher's Epoque cast-iron clawfoot modelor Neo-Metro's modern, double-walled stainless steel soaking tub.
This boulder bathtub from Stone Forest is made of pure granite. Bathtubs come in all shapes, sizes and all manner of materials, such as metal, porcelain, acrylic, glass, cast iron and even stone or wood. For sheer beauty, it's hard to beat copper, but the Robert Kuo Wavelet copper tub also is double-walled to help retain heat. Go au naturel and bathe in a boulder with a granite bathtub from Stone Forest. An old-fashioned clawfoot or freestanding tub doesn't have to be made of cast iron — Victoria + Albert tubs, such as the Marlborough, are cast from a patented solid surface composite. Decide how big your bathtub should be, big enough for you (and for anyone else who may use it). but not so big that you waste water when you fill it. And do you want to bathe alone or with company? Also, if you're going to be bathing little ones in the tub, consider your back and avoid getting the largest model available. Speaking of tub users, if there is an elderly person in the household, look for tubs that are ADA compliant.
