    Bathtub Transformations

    Explore bathtub remodeling projects from Metropolitan Bath & Tile that help bathrooms feel cleaner, brighter, and more relaxing. Each bathtub is planned around the room’s layout, bathing preferences, design style, fixture selections, and long-term daily use.

    Bathtub Options We Install

    The right bathtub depends on how you use the bathroom, how much space you have, and the look you want to create. During your consultation, we’ll help you compare bathtub styles, placement options, materials, surrounds, fixtures, and design details.

    Alcove Bathtubs

    Alcove tubs are the most common bathtub style. They fit into a three-wall recessed space, save floor space, and often work well as a practical tub-and-shower combination for everyday use.

    Freestanding Bathtubs

    Freestanding tubs sit directly on the floor and can be placed where the room allows. They can serve as a visual centerpiece and include modern flat-bottom tubs and classic clawfoot styles.

    Drop-In Bathtubs

    Drop-in tubs are set into a custom-built deck, frame, or platform, creating a finished ledge around the tub for a more built-in look with added space for fixtures, tile, or design details.

    Corner Bathtubs

    Corner tubs are wedge-shaped or triangular tubs designed to fit into a bathroom corner. They can help maximize space while creating a more distinctive bathing area.

    Soaking Tubs

    Soaking tubs are deeper and often roomier than standard bathtubs, making it easier to fully relax and unwind. They are a strong choice for homeowners who want a more comfortable, spa-like bathing experience.

    Whirlpool & Air Tubs

    Whirlpool and air tubs include built-in jets for a spa-like experience. Whirlpool tubs use targeted water jets, while air tubs release tiny air bubbles for a gentler full-body massage.

    Tub-And-Shower Combinations

    Tub-and-shower combinations give homeowners the flexibility to bathe or shower in the same space. They are a practical choice for families, guest bathrooms, and shared bathrooms.

    Bathtub Surrounds

    Tile surrounds and wall surrounds help protect the walls around the tub while shaping the finished look of the space. Surrounds can be simple, decorative, modern, or fully custom.

    Why Choose Metropolitan Bath & Tile For Bathtub Installation?

    A bathtub should feel like it belongs in the room, not like it was simply swapped into place. The right installation considers comfort, plumbing, wall protection, tile, flooring, fixtures, clearances, and how the tub will be used every day.

    Metropolitan Bath & Tile brings decades of bathroom-specific experience to every project. Since 1979, our team has helped homeowners update bathrooms with better layouts, better materials, and more thoughtful design choices.

    Because we focus only on bathrooms, we can help you think beyond the tub itself. We look at how the bathtub connects to the shower, vanity, flooring, lighting, storage, and overall style so the finished space feels cohesive, comfortable, and built to last.

    Bathtub Installation Process

    Bathtub installation starts with understanding how the tub will fit the room, how it will be used, and what needs to happen around it. Our team looks at access, plumbing, wall protection, flooring transitions, fixture placement, and finishing details before installation begins.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The best bathtub depends on your bathroom size, available space, bathing habits, and design goals. Alcove tubs are common for everyday use, while soaking, freestanding, corner, drop-in, whirlpool, and air tubs offer more specialized options.

    Yes. In many cases, a bathtub can be replaced without remodeling the entire bathroom. If the surrounding tile, flooring, plumbing, or walls also need attention, we’ll review those details during your consultation.

    An alcove tub is installed into a three-wall space and often works as a tub-and-shower combination. A freestanding tub sits independently and is usually chosen as a design feature in a larger bathroom.

    Yes. Many bathtub installations include a showerhead, handheld shower, glass doors, curtain rod, or tile surround so the space can function as both a bathtub and shower.

    Yes. Soaking tubs are a good option for homeowners who want a deeper, more relaxing bathing experience. We can help determine whether your bathroom has the right space and layout for one.

    Whirlpool and air tub options may be available depending on your bathroom layout, electrical needs, plumbing requirements, and project scope. We can review these options during the design process.

    Yes. Bathtub installation often includes a new tile surround or wall surround. This helps protect the walls and gives the bathtub area a more finished, updated appearance.

    Our team will measure the space, review clearances, check plumbing locations, and evaluate the surrounding layout to determine whether a larger tub is realistic for your bathroom.

    The timeline depends on the tub style, plumbing needs, wall condition, surround material, tile work, and whether the project includes additional bathroom updates.

    Cost depends on the type of tub, removal needs, plumbing changes, surround materials, tile work, fixtures, flooring transitions, and overall project scope.

    We replaced an old bathtub that had definitely seen better days. The crew removed the existing tub, installed the new one, and made sure everything fit perfectly. The new tub looks great, feels much sturdier, and has made the whole bathroom feel much more modern.

    – Mitch W.

    Our old tub was stained, worn out, and far too small. The designer helped us choose a freestanding tub that fits the space perfectly and completely changed the look of the bathroom. The crew handled the tear out and installation, kept everything neat, and paid attention to the details. It looks amazing!

    – Sierra L.

    Had a new bathtub installed as part of a bathroom update and the process went smoothly from start to finish. The old tub was removed without any issues and the new one fits the space perfectly. The installation looks clean, the finish is flawless, and the entire room feels refreshed.
