What size do you need? And did you know there's a Bathrooms forum here?

Here is a link that might be useful: bathrooms forum

27" wide. (Bootz, Duravit, Kaldewei and Kohler Soissons: drop-in 28", $1100, and specifically not for alcove installation per Kohler)

The bathroom forum is rather slow, thanks though.

Have you considered a claw foot?? We found a 4.5' clawfoot on craigslist that was in near perfect condition. We removed the exterior paint, painted it all white (alabaster to match). Got it for $70!! The tub seems wider than a narrow drop in. Its cast iron which was something I was looking for.

I know this would be an option, but it's not really good for the situation, which is mostly going to be showers. There are a number of reasons why it can't be just a shower though.

I have noticed that many many houses in the neighborhood who have renovated the older bathrooms no longer have a bathtub anywhere in the house, because there is not enough room to put a 60 x 32 tub in most of them. These are small houses that had narrowish, 48"-54" long tubs or the square Princess or Mayflower tubs, most of which are no longer made, so they are replaced by showers. I am going to juggling space and taking a bit out of a bedroom to get at least one full sized tub space upstairs.

I am surprised that nobody really caters to the smallish urban house or apartment anymore, they still exist. Of course the New houses on my block are 3x the size and 4x the price of mine.
