Many people want a corner bathtub or garden tub, but don't know what sizes they come in. It is important to get an accurate measurement of the space where you wish to install a corner bathtub, and in this collection, we show many corner bathtub sizes, so you can pick the right corner bathtub for you. Take a look, and don't get stuck buying a tub that is too big, or too small.

Buying Guide

Corner baths offer the best alternative to regular straight baths. If you want to give your bathroom a bit of luxe similar to that of hotel suite bathrooms, then you definitely need a corner bathtub as a stylish feature. Since corner bathtubs differ in size from regular tubs, check out our guide on corner bathtub sizes below.

What are the common corner bathtub sizes?

The standard dimensions of corner bathtubs are the following:

5 ft x 5 ft or 60 in x 60 in with 20 in. or 1.6 ft as water depth.
A small size measures 48 in x 48 in with 18 in. or 1.5 ft as water depth.
The large size runs at 72 in x 72 in or 6 ft x 6 ft with 20 in. or 1.6 ft as water depth.

How to select the right size corner bathtub?

It’s crucial for you to know that size is the most important consideration that needs to be taken into account when choosing corner bathtubs. If you will be adding a corner tub into a bathroom that's already been designed, you will find it a lot of easier to just go with the tub that fits the dimensions of the spot allocated for this specific type of bathroom fixture.

In most cases, standard bathtubs can only be accommodated. The regular tub is 30 inches wide, five feet long, and 15 inches high. However, don't assume that all tubs have standard measurements. As much as possible, get the exact measurements of your space so you can determine the size of the tub that can be reasonably installed in your bathroom.

If you are building a brand-new bathroom or you'll be undertaking a bathroom remodeling project in the near future, then you can be picky regarding your bathtub's size. When you check out your options online, you can be certain that you'll find a tub that matches your needs. We suggest you spend time browsing through the available selection online and work alongside a reputable contractor in determining which tub makes the most sense within the space you are designing.

What are the most durable materials for corner bathtubs?

Most corner bathtubs you'll encounter are made using fiberglass and acrylic as they're affordable options. Acrylic is the most popular choice as it is lightweight, durable, and capable of holding heat in well. As for fiberglass, it is conveniently lightweight and especially affordable, but it is prone to scratching. It also doesn’t hold heat. Although these two options are common, they're not the most durable. What's more, they aren't known for bringing anything extra in terms of aesthetics. If you are prepared to invest in a tub that’s heavy duty and beautiful at the same time, then consider materials like cast iron, steel, marble, and copper.

Bonus tip: The installation of a corner bathtub is a massive job, but it will only occur once throughout the entire lifespan of your tub. By having a good warranty, you'll be confident that this will be your case and you have ample protection for your investment.
