In simple terms, a soaking tub corner is a bathtub designed specifically to fit into a corner of a bathroom, maximising space while offering a deep, relaxing soak. Unlike freestanding tubs, corner soaking tubs are space-efficient and ideal for bathrooms where floor area is limited but luxury and comfort are still desired.
The main reason Australians love corner soaking tubs is that they combine ergonomic comfort, space optimisation, and a premium bathing experience, making them perfect for both small and large bathrooms.
Corner soaking tubs come in a variety of designs, materials, and shapes to suit different bathroom layouts:
Acrylic Corner Tubs – Lightweight, durable, and easy to maintain, popular in modern bathrooms.
Cast Iron Corner Tubs – Traditional, heavy-duty tubs that retain heat for long, relaxing baths.
Stone or Marble Resin Tubs – Premium, sculptural designs that make a statement.
Jetted Corner Tubs – Feature whirlpool or spa jets for a therapeutic soak.
Drop-In Corner Tubs – Designed to sit within a built-in frame or tiled surround for custom styling.
L-Shaped or Triangular Designs – Maximise bathroom corner space while providing deep soaking capacity.
Materials typically include acrylic, cast iron, stone resin, or composite materials, often with ergonomic backrests and wide edges for seating or décor.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to selecting the right corner soaking tub:
Measure Your Bathroom Corner – Ensure the tub fits comfortably with clearance for faucets and access.
Select Material & Finish – Acrylic for practicality, stone or cast iron for luxury.
Consider Depth & Capacity – Deeper tubs provide more immersive soaking experiences.
Check Installation Requirements – Plumbing, floor strength, and drainage must accommodate the tub.
Additional Features – Look for built-in seating, ergonomic contours, or whirlpool jets.
Pro Tip: Pair a corner soaking tub with House of Isabella bath accessories such as bath mats, towel racks, and trays for a complete, spa-like bathroom experience.
