Our new home came with a pre-installed freestanding bathtub in the master bathroom. Fits an adult easily. But I don’t think you can fit one through the door - it would have to be taken apart for sure. It’ll be a big reno project.
- cwalv 3y agoMy house built in 2017 is the same. I still don't really use the tub. I asked my wife why she never uses it, and she said "it takes forever to fill."
- pests 3y agoJapan has the solution to this. Tubs are connected to a smart system and you can start your bath from, say, the living room via a panel. You can specify what time you want it filled up at and at what temp and it does the rest.
- kalleboo 3y agoSome tubs even support re-heating the existing water, so you can re-use the same bathwater the next day or later in the evening for other family members. (in Japan it's assumed you're going to shower and clean your body throughly before entering the bath, like in a hot spring/public pool, so the water doesn't get so gross)
- bombcar 3y agoMeasure the height. They often just barely fit if coming in sideways. But the large “one piece” bathtub/shower combos you see at the hardware stores definitely are installed early and won’t fit in the door. They are more leakproof but they sell remodel versions that come in multiple parts.
