Short Bathtubs

The standard tub is 5' (60"). We are redoing a basement bathroom. We removed the homemade shower stall from the 50's (don't ask) and I would love to put a tub in instead but there is only about 55 or 54" to work with. Is this an impossible dream to have a tub? Should I stick with a new shower stall?

You might try checking with a dealer of Class A motorhomes - upscale models. My husband and I were looking at some the other day (no I can't afford one but they're pretty). Not only were they lovely and classy they also had under 5' tubs and tub/shower combinations. Just might be a source for what you need.

There is a local hardware store that specializes in having darn near everything for mobile home supplies, plumbing, appliances, electrical, towing... I do mean everything. Motorhomes/mobile homes probably use similar stuff, and they carry a variety of tubs/surrounds that are shorter than the normal house size. Perhaps even the warehouse supply places may carry them.

American Standard, Eljer, and Kohler make 54" bathtubs. Amerian Standard even makes a 48" bathtub. The 54" tub is not uncommon. Many trailers and modular homes have them. Lowes and Home Depot usually keep them in stock, or they can order one for you. Cost starts at $100.00 for an enamel on steel 54" tub.

This is just the kind of infor I was looking for. Thanks ever so much. I will have to start my hunt for the short bathtub this weekend. Thanks again.
