Bath Tubs?

So I have to pick a bath tub for my master bathroom ASAP. The plumbers showed up with one the other day and I didn't like it. I am making them take it back (serves them right for showing up with a bath tub without going through me first!) and I am racing to try to find one to install in its place. This is what I am working with. It needs to be 6 feet long and 42 inches wide. I am looking for a drop in style in white. I want a soaker tub because I don't want jets. This tub will also be where our shower is, kind of the two birds with one stone thing plus I don't have unlimited space. We will be having shower heads at both ends so the bath tub will have to accommodate that.

I really love this tub. I love the sleek lines, that it has a ton of space, and that it will be easy to clean. I don't know how I feel about the drain in the center. If I drop it down to 5 1/2 ft. it moves the drain to the end but I think I would love a 6 foot tub.



This is another option I am looking at. I think it would be more comfortable for one person because it has arm rests but it doesn't give you as much space inside and will probably be harder for the shower.



The only other options that I have found so far in that size in our price range are oval tubs similar to this one which is like the one the plumbers brought in. I just don't think they are as smart where we are using it for a shower as well. Plus they kind of look grandmaish to me. Sorry if you are a fan. I just think I am looking for something a little more sleek.



Please tell me what you think. Or if you have any idea on where I can find more info on the tub I liked. I can't find reviews from anyone who has used on. Am I just looking in the wrong place. Please HELP!!!

  1. I like the one that you like best as well. I don't think it's that big of a deal to have the drain in the middle of the tub. If you have two shower heads it might be good because someone will have tons of dirty water at their feet if it's on one side because I bet it won't drain as fast. Plus think how deep it is..... if it's deep then when you walk by you will probably rarely walk right be the side and look down in which probably is the only way you could see the drain.... maybe not but what do ya do

  2. I also like the one that you like best. Drain in the middle is different though and if you want a bigger tub- then I guess you still will have to look. I do like it though!
    Good luck- I can't wait to see inside and outside pictures of your new house! Where are you building?
