Stupidest idea ever. Why do you want to wipe down the tub everytime you have a shower along with all the walls. Wet room showers make some sense to me but adding a tub is just plain silly.

I don't want to think about what might be growing underneath that tub.

That looks really impractical.

Looks like a linear drain right down the middle

You didnt answer the question...

It’s a 20K shower. That has a high chance of leaking. And a sure chance of being high maintenance moldy and spotty.

That looks like an awesome shower room. I seen a few of these tubs and they do have feet that adjust underneath, just like a dishwasher.

Adding this comment late to help others: That is a linear drain in the middle. Unless they were idiots, there is likely a gentle slope toward the drain under the bath, and another gentle slope from the shower side to the drain. ie, a very flat, almost imperceptible "V" shape to the drain in the middle. The tile they chose made doing that pretty easy.

Pignolia, I think you asked some great questions, but you didn't get any answers. I wish some one with one if these rooms would give a review on it.

The tub will have a normal drain connected to the waste plumbing. The wet room floor probably has a very slight slant toward a low side where a horizontal slot drain would be located. The slant of the floor will probably not be noticeable when you are in the tub.

This is a funny conversation. I've had a wetroom for 15 years. It was located on the 2nd floor, a totally tiled room with double shower heads and has a sloping floor leading to a central drain for the shower. The tub has a totally separate drain and enclosed in a tiled deck. There was a single 8" tiled step off the shower floor to enter the tub. I squeegeed the shower glass door & above the pony wall after showering but never squeegeed the interior of the tub or tile walls surrounding the tub except during regular cleaning. I'm in the process of renovating my master bath and intend to have a freestanding water jetted tub in my new 9x6' shower room. I liked the step to enter the tub in my previous shower room for its accessibility and it provided a ledge for shampoos, soaps, candles, etc. so I'm rethinking how to add that convenience to my renovation. I'll try to dig up a photo.

Sculpin, would be great to see pics (old and new reno). Thanks!

Here is an older Houzz thread with 365 comments on a story about putting the tub in the shower. You will find lots of strong opinions and some people reporting on their experiences with this set-up.

Can anybody tell me why you never see pics like the one at the top of this thread where the glass wall is right beside the tub so that you shower while inside (not next to) the tub. If that could be done, it would all fit into a regular 3 x 5 bathtub/shower space, except the tub would be freestanding instead of built-in. Debra

Debra, if you have a freestanding tub with its own tub drain, then have a glass wall that does not keep the water enclosed inside the tub, you must slope the floor under the tub to a drain in the floor. The floor and walls must be shower walls - waterproofed. You are building a shower to put the tub in that you cannot shower in without climbing into a tub - over usually quite high walls that slope down to a smallish floor area. For the same money, you could have a shower with a 40” x 65+” floor space and a separate free-standing tub. Why would you ever do that when built-in tubs with showers already exist?

I want to add a clawfoot tub to my large existing shower. i live in an historic home. my master bath is over my basement gym. my basment is all living space ( family room, gym, bathroom with pump, waterheater closet, seperate furnace closet). my top story bathroom has a bath. but my teens use that bathroom. i want to add a small acrylic clawfoot tub inside of my large glass enclosed and tiled floor to ceciling master shower. in the future i will down size my very large vanity and move the tub under the 3 windows. I MISS MY BATHS now tho! lol can i just add a tub? let it drain down the shower drain? and use mybhand held shower head to fill… just until we remodel a little? ( maybe 2 years most)??

Our freestanding tub has feet to adjust to floors that are not flat and level. The caulk fills in the gaps…but I would think there is a limit to how much change in elevation you could handle and fill with caulk.
