You may be in a dilemma when you wish to install a bath tub in your bathroom which may be quite small compared to the rest of your room. Small bath tubs are the preferred choice for small bathrooms.

A bath tub of normal size has length of nearly 5feet. Small bathrooms cannot accommodate such bath tubs. Small bath tubs, on the other hand, will fit into these and you have a bath relaxing and getting relieved to tired muscles.

There is also a popular perception that is not possible to have complete relaxation in a small bath tub. They think that it is cramped and it will not be possible to, stretch one's legs. But, a small bathtub compensates for its shortfall in length by increase in height. That means more depth of water.

The increase in depth allows you to get fully submerged in the tub for a full soaking of the body and all your extremities. It is very comfortable and relaxing to use. These tubs are very popular in countries like Japan where mini bathrooms are common due to the want of space.

Small tubs give you a very wide choice to choose from, as they come in different colors and styles. A notable model is walk in tub. Tubs for installation in a corner are also available. There is a model called claw foot. Literally, thousands of variations of those types are available to purchase either in stores or online.

Handicap and old people and others who have difficulty in getting over to tub will all find walk-in feature helpful. The facility consists of a door which is water-tight provided on the tub side. After the bather gets in, the door can be shut water tight and the tub will remain leak proof.

Some tubs come with a whirlpool feature. It also comes as an extra fitting and can be fixed to existing tub. The whirlpool consists of many water jets in to the tub at the person talking the bath. The jets have the effect of relieving pain and muscles, tension reduction and increase in blood circulation.

Therefore, you will realize a small bath tub is also enjoyable. It is what you make with the type of tub that you have that will make it worthwhile to own.
