Best Bathtubs for Small Bathrooms in Norristown, PA
By Hudson Home Improvement 4 min read

Small bathrooms, common in older Norristown homes, need careful choices. The right tub makes the room feel bigger and works better every day.
Alcove tubs
An alcove tub fits between three walls and is the standard choice. It pairs easily with a shower and a curtain or glass panel.
Compact soaking tubs
Deeper tubs in a short footprint give a good soak without more floor area. Check the filled weight and the floor framing.
Corner tubs
Corner tubs can use awkward space but often need more room than they look. Measure carefully before choosing one.
Freestanding tubs
Freestanding tubs make a statement but need clearance around them. They are usually better for larger rooms.
Or skip the tub
If you mostly shower, converting to a walk-in shower may make the room feel larger. See our tub-to-shower conversion guide for options.
Before you buy
- Measure the room, doorway and stairs for delivery.
- Confirm the drain location and floor framing.
- Plan the waterproofing for tub surrounds.
- Think about storage, lighting and ventilation.
Frequently asked questions
A standard alcove tub is about 60 inches long, which fits most small bathrooms.
