Need Help finding a bath tub that's less than 59" in le This forum has been incredibly useful to me in the past but this is my first post here! My husband and I are trying to finish our small cabin, and don't have enough room for a standard sized bath tub. I have searched quite a bit, but have not had much luck. Can anyone give us names of manufacturers that make smaller sized tubs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do you definitely need a tub or would a shower stall work for you? Try googling custom bathtub manufacturer, you should find something there.
Hi, and welcome. My older home has very small bathrooms especially by today's standards, and the existing full sized tubs take up alot of space. When (and if) I am able to take on the job of remodeling, I plan to replace the standard tub in the master bath with a Japanese style soaking tub. Click to see. The measurements I've seen tend to be 40x40.
Check if you have one of those building supply places that markets to manufactured-home owners- they usually have a stock of shorter-than-average tubs. On the other hand, DH lived in China in his youth and still raves about those soaking tubs- apparently you tile the floor, put a drain in it, and have a good rinse-off before getting in the tub. Just another thought.
Here's a website that has reproduction tubs (clawfoot) etc. saw one 57" one 54" http://www.vintagetub.com/asp/claw_foot_bathtubs.asp
I found this one. It is a little pricey, but I bet you could find some antique dealer who has one for a song. I remember seeing a bunch of antique tubs while out driving a few years ago. The trouble is that I cannot remember where it was . . . either SC or Va, I think. http://www.tubking.com/catalog/item/208589/49540.htm I will keep looking . . .
I got one in the Artic if you want to come get it. only problem is its an ugly mint green color. Good luck to you, an i hope you find one.
Re:Need Help finding a bath tub that's less than 59" in Manufacturers only make things that they can sell. If they made a 58" tub they might only sell one, and that would be to your. If you cannot use a 60" tub, the next smaller commercial one is 54". Anything between the two measurements would have to be plastic and made locally.
You might try a travel trailer manufacture. I do beleive they make a three foot tub. The only thing is they are made to go over a wheel well so there is only about a foot and a half that holds water and the other half you can sit on.
I have this funky catalog called "Bathroom Machineries" and they advertise a "Maid's Tub" 48" cuter than all get out!! The email is : www.deabath.com I went to the website last night to order a new catalog and they informed me that they no longer have an actual catalog, on line only. I looked at this tub and it was on sale for less than 1/2 price in my catalog! Good Luck Deanna :-D
Thanks for the posts. I too need a shorter than normal tub if I want to remodel the bathroom. We have the "old farm house" from when they used to convert the pantry into the new indoor bathroom.
