MAAX Bathtubs

MAAX bathtubs on this page cover the main ways a tub can be installed: alcove tubs that sit between three walls, drop-in tubs that rest in a built deck, and freestanding tubs that stand on their own. Examples include the Delsia 6032 AcrylX Freestanding Center Drain Bathtub in White with White Skirt, the Eterne 7242 Acrylic Drop-in Center Drain Bathtub in White and the Rubix 6030 Acrylic Alcove Left-Hand Drain Bathtub in White. Series names you will see here include Exhibit, ModulR, Vichy and Nomad, and colour options offered include White, Thunder Grey, Sterling Silver and Black.

Start by deciding how the tub will be installed, since that sets what you need to measure. An alcove tub needs the wall-to-wall opening and the drain location checked against your plumbing. A drop-in tub needs a deck built to suit its outer dimensions. A freestanding tub needs clear floor space around it and a plan for the drain and supply lines in an exposed location. Read the product name closely: it tells you the installation type, the material and the drain position, which helps you shortlist quickly before comparing the details on each product page.

What to check before you buy

• Measure the opening before choosing a size. For an alcove tub, measure the finished wall-to-wall distance and the depth from the back wall. Compare those against the dimensions on each product page rather than relying on the model number alone.
• Match the drain position to your plumbing. The product name shows where the drain sits, so check it against where your existing drain and overflow are located. Moving a drain is possible but adds plumbing work.
• Confirm the installation type suits your bathroom. Alcove, drop-in and freestanding tubs are installed very differently, and switching between them usually means changes to walls, decking or flooring.
• Check the route into the bathroom. Measure doorways, hallways and stairs on the way to the bathroom so the tub can be carried in without trouble.
• Choose a colour that fits the room. Colour options offered include White, Thunder Grey, Sterling Silver and Black. Check the colour listed on the specific product you choose.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an alcove, drop-in and freestanding bathtub?

An alcove tub fits between three walls with one finished front edge, a drop-in tub sits inside a deck or surround that you build, and a freestanding tub stands on its own with finished sides all around. Each one needs a different amount of framing, finishing and floor space.

What does Left-Hand Drain mean on a bathtub?

It describes which end the drain sits on when you stand facing the tub from the open side. Check where your current drain is before choosing so the new tub lines up with your plumbing.

Do MAAX bathtubs come in colours other than white?
