Bring it in through a window.

Build a tiled Roman tub.

Widen the door permanently.

Remove the casing to widen it temporarily.

Accede to reality and better resale and just build a nice big shower.

Any bathtub is wider than 22 inches, but is the kind you want higher than 22 inches? If there is a little maneuvering space once inside the bathroom, it might be possible to bring a tub in on its side, if we're talking about a typical alcove installation. If you mean freestanding, all bets are off.

It is the height of the tub not the width that needs to be considered and if at all possible look into having that doorway widened for just plain use. Maybe post a picture of the space too .

Small entry doorway

I can’t widen wondow

Thank you for answers/suggestions to all.

Would it be worth looking at sitting baths with step in doors?

sitting baths? like for handicapped? no.

You have a very, very small bathroom. have you even measured a soaking tub and how it would fit once you got it IN the room? Look at how close the toilet is to the tub. you can't bring in a wider one.

this is a soaking tub. there is no way this would fit in the room, let alone through the door.

If you bring in a taller one, do you plan on redoing all of the tile? (you can't just remove the old tub and plop in a new one without redoing the tile work. (It already looks like you need to re-caulk the joints between the tub and the bottom row of tiles. (100% silicone caulking It's not just for looks, it's to make sure water doesn't get in behind the tub/tiles and soak your wood studs in the walls).

How were you planning on installing this new soaking tub?

If it was mine, I'd look into getting a nicer vanity and repaint the walls. Touch up the white on the window, maybe get a nice shade. take away the dated light bar and medicine cab and do something w/a bit of style.

you have the gray tile. maybe do a darker gray on the walls, and a bright white trim and ceiling. you have the built in wall closet. maybe redo the door on that w/glass.

these medicine cab styles would be perfect in your room. do a double light, light fixture above it

or just do a regular type of mirror. Notice both of these vanity styles. find one in your size and get something like this, with the built in sink and countertop. they aren't that expensive.

some other ideas.

This wood cabinet would also fit your style. a single larger sconce type might and little decor elements finish the look. notice the paneled ceiling.

I found a vintage chest on craiglist, painted it, modified it to fit the plumbing, and got a remnant piece of marble to go on top. it was cheap and pretty easy.

As for the soaking tub, I just don't see how anything taller is going to make a difference. nothing wider is going to fit, and any change in pulling out the old tub for a new one, is going to require all new tile work.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply.
