Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs and shower bases come in a range of standard sizes, from compact 26x45 inch tubs to full 32x72 inch laid-down models, with custom shower base dimensions and cut-to-fit extension panels available for spaces that need a closer fit. Knowing your bathroom's exact measurements before you order helps make sure the unit you choose fits the space where your old tub or shower currently sits.

Standard Walk-In Tub Sizes

The most common walk-in tub size is 30 inches wide by 52 inches long, and this footprint fits many standard tub alcoves. Ella's Bubbles also offers walk-in tubs in 32x52, 38x52, 30x60, 30x55, 28x52, 27x60, and 26x45 inch sizes, so there is usually a close match for most existing openings. The Monaco model is available in a 32 by 53 inch or 32 by 52 inch size, and larger laid-down soaking tubs are commonly sized at 32 by 72 inches. For a full breakdown of dimensions, seat widths, and door types by model, see the walk-in tub dimensions by model guide.

Transfer Tub Sizes

A transfer-style tub is available in a 60 by 30 inch size. Because tub and door configurations vary by model, it is worth confirming the exact size and layout with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 before finalizing your order.

Shower Base Sizes

Custom shower bases can be ordered to specific dimensions, such as a 36 by 36 inch corner base, with the drain placed to your exact measurements, for example 9 and 5/8 inches from each of two adjacent walls. Barrier-free, roll-in shower bases with a low threshold are available in a 32 by 60 inch size, and a 3-inch step-in threshold base is also offered for those who prefer a slightly raised edge. Because the online drain-placement tool can round measurements up to the nearest inch, it is a good idea to confirm your exact drain location with the team at (800) 480-6850 before your base is built.

Fitting Tight Spaces with Extension Panels

If there is a gap between your new tub and the surrounding wall, Ella's Bubbles offers extension panels that can be cut down to size to close that space cleanly. This makes it possible to fit a standard tub size into an alcove that is slightly larger than the tub itself, without needing a fully custom unit. Learn more about matching a tub to your alcove in the extension panels and alcove fit guide.

Measuring Your Space and Choosing a Seat Width

Before choosing a size, measure the width, length, and height of your existing tub or shower alcove, as well as your doorway width if the tub needs to travel through it to reach the bathroom; see the doorway measurement guide for that process. Seat width should be chosen based on your height and weight for a comfortable, secure fit, and Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs are built to accommodate users up to 200 pounds. For guidance on matching seat width and soaking depth to your body size, see the seat sizes and soaking depth guide.
