Having a shower is how most of us begin our mornings, as it’s the fastest way to get clean when you’re on the go. But for many people, unwinding after a long day with a book and a warm bath offers more of an experience, especially during those long winter months.

What Bathtub Basics Do I Need to Know?

Bathtubs come in a variety of shapes, materials, and colours. Before making a decision, consider:

Do you have physical space constraints for your new tub?
When replacing an existing tub, assess the condition of the existing tile. If the existing tile is in good shape, it can be preserved for durability and aesthetics, but damaged tile may need to be replaced as part of the renovation. For example, when replacing an existing tub during a remodel, the new tub must be placed where the old tub and plumbing are situated. You have the freedom to choose any style only when building a new home, adding a bathroom, or doing a full remodel that moves walls and plumbing. During a remodel, you may also need to replace old fixtures or tiles to update the space and improve functionality.
Be clear on your goals. Are you looking for a simple everyday “working” bathtub for washing kids, pets, and more, or do you want your own in-home spa? Since tubs aren’t replaced often, knowing your long-term needs will guide your design choices and budget.

When considering bathtub shapes, materials, and colours, think about which material best suits your needs for durability, maintenance, and style.

When placing a new tub, a professional install is important to ensure the tub fits properly, functions safely, and meets all plumbing requirements.

Different Types of Bathtubs

3-Wall Alcove: Common tub-shower combination, designed to maximize space with walls on three sides. Tiles are often used for finishing and design in this installation.
Drop-In: Tub shell installed into a framed enclosure finished to match your décor. Custom tiling can be added around the tub for a seamless look.
Undermount: Similar to drop-in but installed at floor level with the lip covered by flooring. This style also allows for custom tiling around the tub.
Corner Tub: Designed for corner placement, offering a unique look.
Soaking Tub: Deeper than standard tubs, allowing full-body immersion; includes claw-foot and freestanding styles.
Walk-In Bathtub: Features a door for easy access, ideal for those with limited mobility. The tub is designed to fill and drain quickly, improving convenience and safety. Choosing the right faucet is important for ease of use and safety, especially for seniors.
Whirlpool: Equipped with jets for a therapeutic massage experience.

What Are Bathtubs Made Of?

Fiberglass: Lightweight, affordable, but prone to scratching; acrylic-coated versions last longer.
Porcelain-Enameled Steel: Durable, glossy finish at a low cost.
Enamel-Coated Cast Iron: Extremely durable but very heavy—best for smaller tubs.
Acrylic: Durable, mid-range pricing, with solid colour throughout to hide scratches.

Certain materials, such as acrylic or fiberglass, are often chosen for new construction or shower conversion projects due to their ease of installation and versatility.
