A bathtub turns a bathroom into a place to unwind. At Big Bath we stock one of Malaysia's widest bathtub ranges — freestanding, built-in (drop-in), corner and massage (jacuzzi) designs, all in lightweight, durable acrylic. Whether you are fitting a compact condominium bathroom or a spacious family home, our team across 10 showrooms nationwide can help you choose the right tub, and our in-house installers handle delivery and fitting.
Types of Bathtubs We Stock
Freestanding Bathtubs
Stand-alone tubs with all four sides visible — oval, slipper, rectangular and sculptural shapes. They sit anywhere in the bathroom and work as a design centrepiece. Best where you have floor space around the tub.
Built-In (Drop-In) Bathtubs
The tub sits inside a tiled or panelled surround, with only the rim showing. Space-efficient and often cheaper than freestanding, and the most practical choice for standard Malaysian bathrooms.
Corner Bathtubs
Shaped to fit into a corner, making good use of awkward bathroom layouts. Many corner tubs are also massage tubs, with room to stretch out.
Massage / Jacuzzi Bathtubs
Tubs fitted with whirlpool water jets or air bubbles for hydrotherapy — a home spa experience. Available in corner and rectangular layouts, with options like LED lighting, a hand shower and a built-in heater.
How to Choose the Right Bathtub (Quick Checklist)
- Measure your space and door access. Tubs are typically around 1500–1700mm long. Check the bathroom footprint AND that the tub can get through your door and hallway before ordering.
- Pick the install type. Freestanding for a statement look and flexible placement; built-in for space efficiency and lower cost; corner to use an awkward layout.
- Choose acrylic. All our tubs are acrylic — lighter than cast iron, warmer to the touch, and easier to clean. A stainless-steel frame adds rigidity.
- Check faucet and waste. Many of our tubs come complete with waste (c/w waste) and some include a faucet set — confirm what is included so you can order the rest at once.
- Think about who uses it. A deeper tub suits soaking; a massage tub suits relaxation; a built-in tub suits busy family bathrooms.
Bathtub Materials & Sizes
Our bathtubs are made from high-gloss acrylic, which is lightweight, keeps bath water warm for longer than steel or cast iron, and resists scratching and staining. Lengths typically range from 1500mm up to 1700mm+, with compact options for smaller bathrooms. Most come ready with a waste outlet and many with a matching faucet set.
Bathtub Features to Look For
- Acrylic body — lightweight, warm, easy to clean.
- Stainless-steel frame — adds strength and a long service life.
- Included waste (c/w) — less to buy separately.
- Matching faucet set — some tubs ship with a coordinated tap.
- Left or right-hand layout — pick the handedness that suits your bathroom.
- Massage jets option — upgrade to a whirlpool/jacuzzi tub for hydrotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bathtubs are available?
Four main types: freestanding (stand-alone, all sides visible), built-in or drop-in (set into a surround), corner (fits into a corner), and massage or jacuzzi tubs (fitted with hydrotherapy jets). We stock all four in acrylic.
What are your bathtubs made of?
High-gloss acrylic. Acrylic is lighter than cast iron or enameled steel, keeps the water warm for longer, and is resistant to scratches and stains. Many models add a stainless-steel frame for rigidity and a longer life.
What size bathtub do I need?
Most of our tubs are around 1500–1700mm long. Measure your bathroom footprint, but also check that the tub can pass through your door and hallway — a 1700mm tub is no use if it cannot reach the bathroom. We stock compact sizes for smaller bathrooms too.
Freestanding or built-in bathtub — which is better?
A freestanding tub is a statement piece you can place anywhere, but it needs floor space around it. A built-in (drop-in) tub is more space-efficient, usually cheaper, and the practical choice for most standard bathrooms. Choose freestanding for design impact, built-in for everyday practicality.
Do the bathtubs come with a faucet and waste?
Many of our tubs ship complete with waste (marked 'c/w waste'), and some include a matching faucet set. Check each product listing for what is included, and order any extra taps or fittings at the same time so installation goes smoothly.
Do you install bathtubs?
Yes. Big Bath has in-house installation technicians across Peninsular Malaysia. Because a bathtub also needs the waste and (for massage tubs) power connecting, we recommend booking our team to fit it rather than going DIY.
Do you deliver bathtubs across Malaysia?
Yes. We have 10 showrooms nationwide and dedicated ready stock in Kota Kinabalu (Sabah) and Kuching (Sarawak). WhatsApp your nearest branch for stock, delivery lead times and installation pricing.
