Where to find small bathtub?
I have a small bathroom that does not have a bathtub. Currently it has a very shallow shower basin. The bathroom is small and the space is only 58 inches long. I have been told that standard bathtubs are 60 inches long. Where can I find a shorter bathtub that can fit into my space?

With the walls open, you should be able to fit a 60″ tub, were you measuring from finish wall to finish wall?…if 60″ definitely won’t fit, there are a handful of 54″ tubs that you can get.
Not the most attractive, but Kohler also makes the seaforth tub at 54 x 30 in:

Muffin, I had to do this once too. You need a handyman/contractor to pull out the tub first.
Or, do it yourself with a strong person to help. Turn off the water line, then you cave in the old tub with a sledge so that you can remove it. Have you tried googling “japanese soaking tub”? They are small and deep.
We had the same problem in our old apt. Check out the Kohler website. We bought a tub from there called the Greek soaking tub. It is really short but deep.
Sally: Thanks for the offer. But I need more than just a tub. I also need a plumber to take out the old stuff and put in the new tub. I can’t find anyone since this is a relatively small job (compare to a total bathroom makeover.)
if you need a really small tub – you can use large sink instead 🙂
Muffin, I have a tub that is 48″ long and 28″ wide and 17″ deep. It is free standing and I would sell it for $100. It`s a very good looking tub.I just tried to upload a photo on the Forum but so far it`s not working.
I could email you a nice photo if you are interested. salross@verizon.net
