I don't think this would be a problem, but why even put in the tub at that point, and just do a shower pan instead?

If you're going to do this, I would at least make sure you add a glass door as the entrance, instead of a curtain or leaving it open.

This seems very weird to me. Plus, entering the tub from the rear presents a safety issue due to the slope of the back rest.

IMO this would be claustrophobic at best why not just some glass doors along the one side

Yeah, I think the claustrophobic feeling is why you don't see it (even your example is much shallower) -- my shower is the same width, but your arrangement would make you feel like you're in a tunnel, far from the rest of the bathroom. Most people would hate it.

hello! i would also like to do that in my appartement and i am curious to see how it worked for you

.... if you have any picture or any feedback about the bathtub....

Chad, I haven't done it yet, but am still considering it for my new build.

Dianne, I believe you are right about the faucet, it should be reachable without getting in the tub, but that wouldn't be too difficult to do. Personally, I have never been a fan of placing the controls directly under the head. I hadn't considered assisting someone in the tub, you may have a point if this is the only tub on property. I was planning on using this for the kids bathrooms.

I know this post is old. Do you have any pictures of a completed project? I'd like to see the finished tub. I'm considering this....

I’m trying to convince my builder its a good idea. If anymone has done this and can advise/ share pictures?

Where will you install faucet? How will you reach it to fill the tub before you climb in?

If you're doing a standard size tub, I suspect that'd you'd be bumping your elbows on the walls when you shower. That's not a big deal with the "wall" is a curtain. But when a wall is a wall...

Also, a tub configured like that won't be conducive to lounging. It will be akin to getting into a coffin. So if you're a tub person, find another space for it. And if you're a shower person, skip the tub.

I ended up doing this in my master, no regrets. The wall tile are 1’x2’

For residential application with healthy residents, this layout will work. For safety, the tub users should sit on the tub deck ledge and swing the body 180 degree facing the tub, put the legs into the tub first, and then slide the body into the tub. Use the same way to get out of the tub with the reversed steps. Directly step in or out of the tub can be dangerous if the tub is a deeper model with slippery tub bottom or shower floor.

I would really hate to get in and out of that tub/shower. Leaves a lot opportunity open for accidents and injuries. And if it does have a shower in it, that makes it even worse. I can just see your kids playing around in a tub like that and slipping and tumbling out. If you have to still give them baths, that's really awkward for you.

@psblackstone I know this an old post. And you said you loved it. Do you still? And what are the dimensions of your tub.
