Soaking Bathtubs

Soaking tubs offer an elegant take on everyday bathing. Much deeper than standard bathtubs, they allow you to fully submerge your body for the ultimate in relaxation. At Aquatica, our luxury tubs are inspired by Japanese soaking baths, with some designs respecting traditional forms and others pushing the boundaries with modern curves and materials.

From the far east to the UK and beyond, deep soak baths are increasingly popular. With a freestanding design aesthetic based on minimal ideals, a deep soaking tub is the ideal product for contemporary homes. These baths are also very practical, as they're easy to clean and able to fit into the smallest of spaces.

If you want a stylish and indulgent deep soak bath in the UK, a deep soaking tub from Aquatica is the perfect solution.

Soaking bathtub UK materials

A deep soaking tub is the perfect choice for any home. These products are made from beautiful materials and available in a wide range of sizes and styles. From stone resin and cultured marble to acrylic, fibreglass, and timber, soaking bath tubs from Aquatica will match your decor and lifestyle.

If you want a deep soaking tub in the UK, the following materials are common:

Stone resin

Also known as stone composite or solid surface baths, stone resin products offer numerous advantages. They have outstanding heat retention and durability, along with limitless design possibilities. While stone resin soaking baths can be expensive compared to other materials, the longevity of this beautiful material is also much higher.

Cultured marble

Also known as cast stone, cultured marble is a practical and stylish choice for deep bath soaking. Cultured marble bathtubs are highly durable and relatively affordable to purchase, and they're also very easy to clean. Marble designs are available in a variety of styles and colours. If you want a luxurious soaking tub in the UK, cast stone is a great choice.

Acrylic

Acrylic soaking tubs are lightweight and hard-wearing, and they can be easily bought online. This versatile plastic material offers warmth to the touch and longevity, which makes it ideal for bathroom products. A well-crafted acrylic soaker tub is a sleek and stylish addition to any bathroom.

Fibreglass composite

A number of fibreglass composite soaking tubs are available in the UK. Fibreglass is flexible and easy to sculpt, so headrests and other features are often included. Modern fibreglass formulations provide fantastic design and construction quality. The price of these baths is approximately equal to cast stone baths. 

Wood

If you want something truly special, our timber soaking baths are a fantastic choice. These elegantly designed tubs are made from American walnut, oak, teak, iroko, maple, sapele, padauk, and ash, so you can expect many decades of trouble-free bathing.

Setup and installation for deep soaking bath tubs

Installing a deep tub is easy, as long as you have professional support. Once the bath has arrived on-site, it's important to ensure access to the bathroom space. Stone soaking baths can be very heavy, so it's important to use proper equipment to move the bath safely. Once the tub is inside the bathroom, remove all protective film and tiling beads prior to installation.

To ensure the bathtub remains stable during installation, and to prevent potential damage to the drain, faucet, or pipes, please use plumber's caulk. Once in place, you can install tapware and connect plumbing. We have products with centre or reversible drain placement, so you'll always find the ideal solution for your bathroom. Working with a professional builder is the best way to ensure safe and effective installation for your soaking bath.
