Planning a bathroom remodel? One of the biggest (and most expensive) decisions you’ll make is choosing the right bathtub. But here’s the truth: many people get it wrong—and it ends up costing them time, money, and frustration.
At SoCal Bathtubs, we help you avoid these common mistakes. Here are the top 7 we see—and how we make sure our customers get it right the first time.
1. Choosing the Wrong Size
Tubs that are too big don’t fit. Tubs that are too small disappoint.
✔ We help you measure your space and find the perfect size.
2. Not Understanding Drain Placement
Left-drain, right-drain, center-drain—it matters.
✔ We check this for you based on your current plumbing.
3. Picking the Wrong Tub Type
Freestanding tubs look great but don’t work in every space. Drop-in tubs need custom surrounds.
✔ We explain the pros and cons of each type.
4. Ignoring Jet Type and Placement
Some people want gentle bubbles. Others want deep-tissue massage jets.
✔ We help you choose between air jets, water jets, or both.
5. Not Thinking About Electrical Needs
You can’t plug just any tub into a standard outlet.
✔ We review power requirements and help you plan ahead.
6. Forgetting About Delivery & Access
Stairs, narrow doors, and small hallways can ruin delivery day.
✔ We prep you for smooth delivery and give tips before your tub ships.
7. No Warranty Support After Purchase
Buying from a random website can leave you stuck when something breaks.
✔ We support all manufacturer warranties and help with replacements if needed.
