Where Ella Tubs Come from
Ella's Bubbles has been in business since 2005 and is based in Chicago. It is an OEM manufacturer of acrylic walk-in tubs with partner production facilities, and each tub is assembled, jetted and tested to order at the Chicago facility before it ships by freight carrier, whatever the destination. Tubs travel fully assembled in a crate, with the panels packed separately.
Seeing a Tub Before You Order
Because there is no Canadian showroom, the team offers live video calls from the Chicago facility, Monday through Friday. On a call you can see the models, the facility and how each therapy works, and ask questions about fit and options for your bathroom. To arrange one, open a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support or call (800) 480-6850 with the model you have in mind.
How to Order from Canada
Purchases in Canada go through Ella's partner, Walk-In Tubs Canada, which serves the whole country from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. Ella has customers across Canada, including Ontario, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. If you would rather be routed, call the team at (800) 480-6850 with your postal code and the model you have in mind and they will point you to the right partner for your province. Some models are also carried by Home Depot Canada, though not every configuration.
Certification and Electrical
Every Ella tub is built to conform to UL STD 1795 and CSA C22.2 No. 218.2, the standards that apply to hydromassage bathtubs in the United States and Canada. Tubs are built for North American 120 volt electrical service, so ask your electrician to review the electrical requirements before installation.
Installation and Support
Ella does not perform installation anywhere, including Canada, and does not send technicians. Walk-In Tubs Canada can arrange installation, or you hire a local licensed plumber and electrician. Wherever you are, the same Lifetime Limited Warranty and free lifetime technical support by phone, email and live video come with the tub, and replacement parts ship under the warranty.
Customs, Duties and Taxes
Ella's published shipping policy states that Ella's Bubbles is not responsible for any customs and taxes applied to an order shipped outside the United States. All fees imposed during or after shipping, including tariffs, taxes, storage and related costs, are the customer's responsibility. Check with your local customs authority before ordering so these costs do not come as a surprise, and ask how they are handled for your order.
