Getting our master bath remodeled. Home built in early 90's has one of those corner drop in garden tubs. I think that's what they're called. Our contractor suggested we consider a free standing tub. He admitted it can be tough to clean the area behind the tub but a free standing tub opens up that corner. He also was quick to say he'll do whatever we want.

Wife is leaning towards another drop in. I tend to agree with our contractor and there's some nice looking free standing tubs available. I know "happy wife, happy life" but are there other considerations I'm not thinking about?

I think this is the key part of your post. For me, personally, corner garden tubs always look dated and I would ask if you want your bathroom to be fully remodeled and still look like it was built in the 1990s. Is there a particular functional reason she wants a garden tub?

She is concerned about being able to get behind a free standing tub to clean. Also is concerned it would be harder to get into and out of a free standing tub.

I agree with your comments. Free standing tub seems to provide a cleaner look, more open and some tubs actually add to the visual look of the space.

Jacuzzi corner that WIFE selects will be heaven ,,, even if only a Lowes/HD low-end model but consider higher end and thus make it the last one.

Only the best for the Best!
