Mini Bathtub for HDB : Dec-09

During one of my lunch talk when we were discussing about how Koreans maintained their health by soaking themselves in hot-bath, I was wondering if there was any portable, small and cheap bathtub suitable for our little bathroom. Thus, I started surfing around, but after many hours of 'drilling', the success rate was actually pretty low. Most bathtubs are not portable or if they were, their length were rather long. The closest i got to was a wooden bathtub, which was small but pricey ($900), and it may not be good to have wood inside a Singapore's bathroom where humity was extremely high. I was about to give up my crazy idea when my last attempt to google the images of a HDB bathtub got a result of a list of small fibreglass SPA tubs. And even to my pleasant surprise it was a shop in Singapore selling this. Without much hestation, I rang the shop to quote for the price and it was $200! Hahaha... so here we got; a small, portable and cheap bathtub. The kids are close to disbelief when i told them that i got a bathtub, nevertheless, they were the ones who enjoyed the tub the most!

  3. Hi Victor,

    Do you just leave it in the bathroom or do you store it elsewhere when not in use? Cause it looks quite big to me =)

    Thanks for the info though, it's really something I am thinking about too.

  4. Hi Jen,

    That's a good question actually 'coz u're right, that bathtub is not that small.

    We did not leave it in the bath room and luckily, we are able to find a place next to our washing machine where we put our 2 laundry baskets. So now, the 2 laundry baskets are in the tub and we'll empty it when the kids want to have some fun in the water... :)

  9. Hi Lawrence,

    Width is about 65cm.

    The material is hard, not sure if it's plastic or fibre-glass.

    Thanks and regards,
    Victor
