What Are The Different Kinds of Bathtubs?
Types of Bathtubs
Bathtubs usually consist of three main parts: The tub, the water supply line, and the drain. Drains are connected to your drain line, while valves are connected to hot and cold-water supply lines. In general, water comes out through taps, stays in the tub, and exits down the drain. While bathtubs are all similar in overall concept, there are many different kinds of bathtub styles and types.
Some of the most common types of bathtubs include:
- Clawfoot baths
- Pedestal bathtubs
- Baby baths
- Whirlpool baths
- Freestanding bathtubs
- Soft bathtubs

Things To Consider When Choosing A Bathtub
Key Things To Think About
When choosing a bathtub, aesthetics is not the only thing one should consider. Here are some of the key things to remember when selecting the right bathtub:
Size and shape of the bathroom
In addition to the size and shape of the bathroom, it’s important to check where the tub will be placed. If it’s going to be placed in corners, one should find a bathtub that fits well in corners. If the bathtub were to be placed in the middle of the room, there would be more freedom in choosing the tub’s shape and size.
Size of the tub
There’s no one-size-fits-all measurement for bathtubs. When choosing a tub, take note of the space in the bathroom and the number of people who will be using it. Most standard bathtubs are 60 inches long and about 30 inches wide with a height of about 14-16 inches. However, there are larger tubs available on the market as well as deeper soaking tubs.
Inset tubs or elevated tubs
You can choose how to install the bathtub, depending on your comfort preference. An inset tub (low height) might be preferable, however, most bathtubs today are elevated.
Main material of the tub
Depending on your budget, preferences, and aesthetic goals, several core materials are available in modern bathtubs. The most common materials are fiberglass, acrylic, porcelain, ceramic, and some are even metal. Balancing the budget with the quality and looks of the tub can determine which core material is best.
Drains and pipe positions
Drain and pipe placement are necessary when installing a new bathtub. It’s more cost-effective to find a tub with matching drain placement but moving already-existing drains can also be an option and Aspen Plumbing Services can help. Call today for your appointment.

Plumbing Tips From The Experts
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do I Need a Plumber to Clear a Clogged Drain?
Chemical drain cleaners can be dangerous and we do not recommend their use in household drains for several reasons. The heat generated by the caustic and acidic cleaners can damage your pipes, especially older pipes, and they can become weakened and crack over time. Regular use can lead to expensive repairs down the line because damaged pipes are more susceptible to leaking or even bursting. Our expert plumbers in Jackson have the proper equipment and knowledge to assess your clog and get your pipes running smoothly quickly! Call us today at (517) 750-9913!
What Are The Signs Of A Plumbing Leak?
Some plumbing leaks can be hard to detect, especially if they are behind your walls or in the ceiling. While small leaks may not necessarily indicate a large issue, over time they can cause a lot of damage, far beyond just your plumbing by causing mold and damage to your drywall and subflooring. Below are just a few indications that you might have a plumbing leak:
- Your water bills are increasing but your water usage is staying the same
- You are seeing discoloration or staining on the walls or on your ceiling
- Reduced water pressure unexpectedly
- Strange sounds in your walls near where pipes run
If you’re experiencing any of these call the experts at Aspen Pluming Services today for a full plumbing inspection!
How Can I Prevent Frozen Water Pipes?
What Shouldn’t I Put Down My Sink?
Whether it’s your kitchen, bathroom or laundry sink, it’s important to be mindful of what you put down the drain. Substances such as grease, flour, oils, caustic chemicals and other sticky substances should not go down your drain. Over time, they may cause a clog which will slow down your drains and could cause serious plumbing complications. Be sure to dispose of these liquids properly to ensure your drains and pipes are running smooth for years to come.
How Do Roots Get Into My Pipes?
Over time, roots can enter your in-ground pipes either through a cracked pipe or broken pipe connection. The roots follow water the water and oxygen and they can cause extensive pipe damage and clogs. Our expert plumbers and drain cleaning and jetting experts at Aspen Plumbing Services have the knowledge and equipment to remove the roots and repair or replace the pipe. If you expect your pipes may have roots, call us today at (517) 750-9913.
Why Won't My Toilet Stop Running?
Have you flushed the toilet just to come back later and find it still running? This is a common occurrence especially in homes with older toilets because over time the flapper loses its water-tight seal around the flush-valve opening allowing water to continue to flow into the toilet bowl from the tank. This can be very costly and cause your water meter or well-pump to run excessively. If your toilet looks to be in need of repair or replacement, call Aspen Plumbing Services today.
