Bathtub

Choose the Right Bathtub with Melbourne Bathroom Shop

At Melbourne Bathroom Shop, we believe that a bathtub is more than just a place to soak. It's where you unwind after a long day, recharge, and enjoy moments of peace. That’s why we offer a wide range of bathtubs to suit every home, every lifestyle, and every bathroom layout. Whether you're renovating or building from scratch, our collection is designed with function, durability, and timeless design in mind.

Types of Bathtubs at Melbourne Bathroom Shop

We offer four main styles of bathtubs, each with its own benefits depending on your space and preferences:

Freestanding Bathtub

A freestanding bathtub is a bold statement piece. It can be placed anywhere in the bathroom, making it ideal for larger spaces. With no need to be connected to walls, it adds a luxurious and sculptural feel to your bathroom.

Back-to-Wall Bathtub

This design sits flush against the wall but offers the look of a freestanding tub. It’s perfect for bathrooms that want the sleek appeal of a standalone tub but need to save space and simplify cleaning.

Corner Bathtub

Designed to fit snugly into corners, this type of tub makes the most of your bathroom layout. It’s a practical option for smaller bathrooms or for those who want to maximise floor space without giving up comfort.

Insert Bathtub

Also called built-in or drop-in bathtubs, insert bathtubs are fitted into a frame or structure. They provide a clean, integrated look and are a great choice for family bathrooms due to their stability and accessibility.

Durable Materials, Better Performance

At Melbourne Bathroom Shop, we only use premium materials to manufacture our bathtubs. Our main materials are sanitary-grade acrylic and pressed steel, chosen for their proven performance and long-term reliability.

Sanitary-Grade Acrylic

Unlike standard acrylic, sanitary-grade acrylic is thicker, stronger, and more resistant to discolouration and scratches. It also maintains water temperature longer, providing a more comfortable soak. This material is smooth to the touch and easy to clean, making it one of the most hygienic options available. You won’t find the thin or brittle plastic feel you get from some lower-grade bathtubs.

Pressed Steel

Pressed steel is a surprising choice for a bathtub, but it's one of the most durable materials you can find. It resists chips, scratches, and warping even after years of daily use. The steel core is coated with enamel, giving the tub a smooth, glossy finish that’s both beautiful and built to last. It’s also an eco-friendly material and highly resistant to bacterial build-up.

Tips for Choosing the Right Bathtub

Before you decide on a bathtub, consider these simple tips to help you pick the one that works best for your bathroom:

• Measure your bathroom’s width and length before selecting a tub
• Choose a freestanding or back-to-wall tub for larger spaces
• Go for a corner or insert bathtub for tight or awkward layouts
• Make sure your flooring can support the bathtub’s weight, especially for freestanding or steel tubs
• Think about who’s using it – families often prefer insert bathtubs for safety and convenience
