Deep soaking and drop-in garden tubs with tile decks, supported frames and deck-mount fillers for a spa-style bath.
A deep soaking tub is built for exactly that: long, quiet soaks. Drop-in and garden tubs are set into a frame and finished with a tile or stone deck, giving a built-in, spa-like look. Building the deck is where the craftsmanship shows. The framing must support the tub and the deck weight, the waterproofing must protect the platform, the deck must slope slightly and the filler and drain need access for future service. In Nashville, many homes from the nineties and two-thousands have large garden tubs that are due for an update, and replacing one is an opportunity to make the bathroom feel new.
We measure the tub and deck area, discuss layout and choose a tub and filler. A sturdy frame is built around the tub, with an access panel for the plumbing. The platform is waterproofed, sloped and tiled or finished with solid surface or stone. The filler is mounted on the deck or wall, the drain and overflow are connected and tested and the tub rim is caulked. If you are replacing an old garden tub with a smaller tub or a shower, we can plan the transformation of the space as part of a remodel.
A garden tub deck holds a filled tub and a person, so framing must be strong and well supported.
The deck and surrounding walls are waterproofed because water will land there.
