Need help deciding between free-standing and deck-mounted bathtub
Comments (18)The WetStyle f/s tub has a removable tray that sits across the tub. I like numberjunkie's idea of a shelf or ledge behind the tub for placing items and also like the idea of having the shower wall next to the tub tiled half-way up to have a space for installing a grab bar. WetStyle has an optional shelf that surrounds the tub, but I think it would make it more challenging to get in and out of the tub - would need to hop over the shelf. The drop-in tub I was initially considering was 72"x42" but that would likely not fit, so would need to be 72"x36". This weekend I looked at an open house (new construction) in my area that had a drop-in tub with a narrow space for the deck surround (see attached photo). The deck was tiled on the top and on the apron with white subway tile. I noticed that with the narrow deck space (about 2") and the tub overhang, it would be awkward to sit on the edge of the tub and swing my legs in or out of the tub. Wiithout space for a deck that is wide enough to comfortably sit on, ease of entry or exit may come down to depth of the tub and options for placement of grab bars. The Wetstyle tub is 22" deep; the drop-in tubs are generally deeper, more like 26"...See Morewet room with free-standing tub
Comments (1)Well, the pictures didn't load.. And, disclosure, I don't have a wet room...but I think they're a great way to have a tub and shower in a space that otherwise wouldn't allow for them (if you don't want the shower in the tub). From what I understand, it will feel cold...both because of the size of the space, and also because you will only have a panel....so I would do lots of research on the best heating for that kind of room.....See MoreFree-standing soaking tub inside shower.

Comments (2)I was just searching for the same thing! Did you ever get a tub that works? We are having our master bath remodeled and have been searching for a good freestanding tub. We have had a great jacuzzi for 33 years and figure we should replace it when we do this remodel. I hope you found what works for you....See Morekaljr82
