Bathtubs

It’s unfortunate that the act of bathing or soaking in the bathtub has become luxury rather than a ritual. As life tends to speed up, it seems that the only ones who ever get to use the bathtub are the children and that’s simply as a means to get clean. In fact, for some, taking a daily soak would be frowned upon as a waste of water. Nope, it’s a 4-minute shower, in-out, quick as can be. Slooooooow down.

Plumbing companies are constantly redesigning products to make them more appealing to the public. Whether it’s bathtubs that come in different shapes or colors, the shift from the chilly cast iron to acrylic or fiberglass, which holds the heat longer, or the ability to combine therapeutic massage, whirlpool jets and other stress relieving options to turn your bathtub soak into a welcoming ritual.

If your bathtub’s heyday was 20 years ago and you’ve been eyeing that claw foot bathtub at the home store, but your spouse wants something a bit more practical for his size, instead of replacing your current bathtub, consider refinishing the bathtub and retiling the surround. Another option is to lie in a new bathtub liner over your existing tub.

For ideas, visit plumbing fixture showrooms to see their premier bathtubs. They can help you create the bathtub spa of your dreams, create a wet room enclosure for your shower-tub area or show you the latest in small, walk-in bathtubs for when the grandparents come to visit. They can also assist you with all the ordering and installation, but keep in mind; they do tend to be pricey. If you are just going there for ideas, don’t forget to write down model numbers, take measurements and if your cell phone has a camera option, take a few pictures. It will help as you continue to price out bathtubs.

Your bathtub should not be just a place to rest your tub caddy. It’s a place where you can take a break from the rest of the world. Hide out from the kids, relax from the long commute, read a book or review the day. So, whether you have a claw foot tub, a Roman tub, a whirlpool tub or just a bathtub, set the plug, fill it with hot water (less than 125 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent scalding) and add some bath salts, bath oils, lavender water, rose petals, or whatever smells good and soothing to you. Step in, adjust temperature as needed, sit down and enjoy until the water cools or the outside world demands your attention, whichever comes first.
