You don\u2019t need to make big changes to get the bathroom you\u2019ve always wanted\u2014sometimes, simply upgrading your tub can create a whole new feel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But with so many options, picking the right mobile home bathtub can feel like a challenge. Don\u2019t worry\u2014Mobile Home Parts Store is here to help! We\u2019ve got everything you need to make this project a success, no matter how big or small. After all, with the right guidance, no project is too big!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore some of the best mobile home bathtub options available and what you should consider before making a decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of Mobile Home Bathtubs<\/h2>\n

There are plenty of tub styles designed to make the most of your mobile home bathroom\u2019s space. Here\u2019s a quick look at some popular options:<\/span><\/p>\n

Alcove Tubs<\/h3>\n

Alcove tubs<\/span><\/a> \u00a0are a great choice if you\u2019re looking to maximize space. These tubs fit snugly between three walls, making them perfect for smaller mobile home bathrooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, alcove bathtubs in mobile homes are different from your standard site-built home. <\/span>Most mobile home alcove tubs measure around 54 inches by 27 inches\u2014ideal for fitting into tight spaces without compromising comfort.<\/span>Finding an additional 6 inches in an already small bathroom is much more challenging. So, the most practical solution is opting for a bathtub explicitly designed for mobile homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Garden Tubs<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re hoping for a more luxurious upgrade, a <\/span>garden tub<\/span><\/a> \u00a0might be just what you need. These tubs are deeper and wider than standard options, giving you more room to soak and relax. They add a spa-like feel to your mobile home bathroom, making it a peaceful retreat after a long day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corner Tubs<\/h3>\n

Corner tubs<\/span><\/a> are designed to fit neatly into a bathroom corner, making them a smart choice for tight spaces. They offer more bathing space than a traditional tub and were especially popular in mobile homes from the 1970s to 2010s. <\/span>Most corner tubs are 54\u201d x 54\u201dand run between $700-750 to replace. However, site-built homes have corner tubs that are usually 60\u201d x 60\u201d. This recurring 6\u2033 difference is starting to be a noticeable trend, isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Bath and Shower Combos<\/h3>\n

Short on space but want both a bathtub and shower? A<\/span> bath and shower combo is a great choice. It\u2019s perfect for smaller mobile home bathrooms where space is at a premium. You can enjoy a quick shower when you\u2019re in a rush or a relaxing bath when you have more time.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to Consider Before Buying a Mobile Home Bathtub<\/h2>\n

Before making your final choice, here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure the perfect fit:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Measure Your Space<\/h3>\n

Make sure to measure the opening in your mobile home bathroom where the new tub will go. <\/span>While the National Kitchen and Bath Association states that the average bathtub size in the United States is 60\u201d x 30\/32\u201d, that\u2019s not the case with mobile homes. <\/span>Most mobile home bathtubs are 54 inches by 27 inches, so having accurate measurements will make your search easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

When replacing your mobile home bathtub, it is strongly recommended to use your current bathroom layout as a guiding factor. Altering the plumbing and reworking the bathroom layout can significantly escalate the financial burden and the stress of the project. Therefore, it\u2019s wiser to opt for a bathtub that seamlessly integrates into your existing setup.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Check the Drain Location<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a small detail that can save you time and effort! Make sure the tub\u2019s drain matches your existing plumbing. Tubs can have a left, right, or center drain. Look at your tub as if you are about to step into it. A \u2018left-hand bathtub\u2019 has a drain on the left. A right-hand tub has a drain on the right. Center drains are, obviously, in the center closest to the back wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

If it doesn\u2019t, you may need to make adjustments or hire a professional plumber.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Think About Accessibility<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re planning for the long term, consider a tub that\u2019s easy to step into and out of. Some models have built-in steps or handrails for added safety, making your mobile home bathroom more accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Find Your Style<\/h3>\n

Your mobile home bathroom should reflect your style. Whether you prefer a modern look or a more classic feel, there\u2019s a mobile home bathtub that matches your taste. From clean, white finishes to more decorative designs, the choice is yours!<\/span><\/p>\n
