Oval design bathtub – can it be moved slightly due to dirt behind it?

Apart from that, "impossible" does not exist.

But do you really want it that way?

You will hardly find an installer who will implement that for you. Mainly because of liability and warranty.

My tub is 1.65 m, so either the knees or the shoulders always stick out of the water. I am 1.80 m.

My bathroom planning program starts with freestanding tubs at 1.8 m.

For example, I would replace the window on the left with a 90 cm door and glaze the rest fixed on the right.

If the pipes are still free to be planned, which I rather don't believe in existing conditions, then the whole bathroom should be redesigned. You will surely find help here for that.

Here is my first suggestion. A version with a rotated shower will follow.

Here is the second variant with a walk-in shower.



The bathtub in this program is only 1.8 m.

The right window is fixed glazed.

The swivel mechanism has been omitted. Cleaning is easy.

The view out of the window is unobstructed. ;)

I would definitely try such a bathtub. My wife is 162 cm tall and she can hardly get in and out of most freestanding bathtubs because of the high walls. In the end, we decided on a regular bathtub.

With a corner bathtub, it works too, but not as chic.

So you want to use an adult bathtub like an infant bathtub, fill it with the shower hose and empty it through its bottom drain placed over a drain ;-(

Even a hippopotamus with its big mouth has to swallow when drinking. Emptying the tub by pulling the plug will release a surge that exceeds the capacity of the drain. So your plan only works if the plug is lifted in a controlled way.

Even if the tub is not to be maneuvered while filled, the casters will have to be able to carry (and drain) its weight when empty. For this, the tub will not have suitable support points but will expect an installation situation where a larger support surface is available to carry the full weight. I do not expect point loads in the product’s statics. For empty maneuvering, possibly chair casters may suffice - for heavy-duty casters, we would be talking about at least 8 cm installation height - small casters like those for an under-bed box would certainly not suffice.


Well, as described this construction would probably never be seen by any plumber.

Try your antics - but do dare not to fail to report back to us about the success!
After all, a little monkey and a horse belong to every good [Villa Kunterbunt] :)
