What is a Double Ended Bath? (with pictures)

@minthybear19 - My house came with a double ended bathtub, but it had a very bad frame that creaked whenever you climbed into it. I remade it to have the side open for easy plumbing. We used a full box frame too, which worked great for the side door.

Plumbing wise, I just had all of the plumbing redone to match the bathtub. It cost me quite a bit, but I'm fairly clueless about plumbing. At least this way, I know it's done professionally.

The double ended bathtub is a great invention. I always didn't like the faucet on one side – just like you said, it's har4d to relax when you have a facet against your back.

@tanner182 - You'll love a double ended bath if you decide to put it in.

We built a full box around it. I thought about building just the top frame and side, but I figured it would be easier on us -- and safer to sit on -- if we just built the complete box. It would have been hard to arrange the plumbing if we could move the box around.

It really wouldn't be hard to imitate the Japanese style of wood around the edge if you wanted to. There are plenty of books available on it. Good luck with the installation!

@minthybear19 - I have a corner bath in my bathroom and I've considered putting in a double ended bathtub on and off for awhile. I thought it might be neat to have a free standing bath, but I really like your box idea.

I've always had a thing for the Japanese style bathtubs that are built into a wooden frame. They look very peaceful and relaxing. I don't think they are double ended though. Maybe they could be. I don't have very good wood working skills, but did you just build a big box or did you just build the top and side? Can you sit on the edge?

My husband and I recently installed a double ended bathtub in our bathroom again. We had a double ended bathtub at our last place and we missed it when we moved. Now we can enjoy our baths together again with out one of us having a faucet against our backs.

The plumbing was the biggest issue. We ended up building a wide box around the bathtub so that we could run the plumbing under it without having to move the pipes in the wall. It worked out really nicely, but it's a good thing our bathroom is so big – otherwise there wouldn't be space to reach the toilet!
