IMO a tub with built in apron is IMO a nicer look than a tiled one so maybe a bit more info .If you want to tile the front what you need is a drop in tub with the edge tiled all the wayaround and on the front .

A drop in tub can not be used in a tub shower situation without high risk of water damage. Change your parameters to a standard 60” width and you will have multiple choices. Kohler Archer will be top among them.

I never thought of reducing the length of the tub down to 60". I know that there are quite a few options in that length. Specifically, I do like the Kohler Archer and Underscore. I was just hoping that I could easily do a like for like replacement in size. Is there a structural reason why a 66" alcove tub would not have an option to tile the face?

Most tub MFG offer a retrofit tile flange . Now honestly i usually toss them out and do my own but it is best to have an integral flange.

I am in the EXACT same spot. Contractor is concerned about water sealing with a drop in, but I can't find any alcove options with integrated flange (without the front apron). Our space is 80 inches, so a 60" tub would leave quite a gap. Anyone have a product that would fit the 66" spec?? I feel like I have seen pictures of this look, and I am surprised that it's not an easier problem to solve.

Meghan - after doing a bit more research I did find the following MAAX tubs.

All the above are a 32" width.

I noticed a lot of companies do offer a 66" tub with what we are both looking for, but then you need to go into a 36" width. Hope that helps!

So helpful! Thank you!!! I am not restricted by width (36" is fine). But I am super struggling to find 66" inch tubs that have an integrated flange, but no front apron. I have found exactly 1 that I think would work in Kohler Mariposa 66x36- but I am not crazy about the hourglass style. Do you happen to recall which companies offer 66x36 with those options? I am checking out the MAAX line now and it looks like they might have some options. Whew!!

I know the MAAX line had the one's I mention above in 36".

Along with the Mariposa, I believe Kohler also has the Tea-for-Two:

Awesome, thank you! This also lines up with what I have seen.

Just in case anyone else comes across this looking for the same thing:

-The Kohler "tea for two" tub works, but is pricier.- However, note the depth is at 24" . Might be a challenge to step over all the time if you are using as a shower most often.

-Kohler Mariposa works! Has some different size choices, but the hourglass shape is a little less sleek than the MAAX line. So it will depend on your aesthetic preferences

-MAAX models have a short depth at 18", and a more minimalist look

Years ago I was looking for a 66x32 tub and found the Hydro Systems Lacey. Offered in a variety of sizes and I believe tile flange options.

I was very happy with the tub and would still be enjoying it if we hadn't sold the house.

Milan and Megan - Did you ever complete your tub installs? Which tub did you go with? Have any photos? We are going to be using the 66x36 Kohler Mariposa but need to decide whether to get it with or without the apron.
