Complete Guide to Japanese Soaking Tubs
Explore japanese soaking tubs — materials, sizing, and Australian installation costs explained. Plan your bathroom renovation with confidence.
Japanese soak tubs are designed for deep, immersive bathing in a compact space, bringing calm, warmth and comfort into everyday routines. Rather than lying back in a long, shallow bath, you sit upright and let the water rise around your shoulders. At MyHomeware, our Japanese soaking bath is built for exactly that — a genuinely deep soak that fits a real Australian bathroom.
Depth is what makes a soaking tub a soaking tub. A standard Australian bath holds roughly 330–400mm of water and asks you to lie down; our Japanese soaking bath stands 635mm tall and is built for a seated, full-body soak — so the water sits at your shoulders, not your waist.
That depth comes without taking over the room. Both sizes share the same slim 675mm width:

Most baths have an overflow outlet, and that outlet quietly sets your maximum water level — usually 60–100mm below the rim. Our Japanese soaking bath has no overflow, so you can fill much closer to its full depth and get the soak the shape was designed for. It also leaves a clean, uninterrupted interior with no visible opening.
A matched chrome pop-up waste and hose are included, so the setup is coordinated out of the box. Please note that original bathtub pop-up wastes may not be permitted in certain VIC and QLD regions — confirm the required waste with your licensed plumber before purchase.
A well-designed Japanese bath should work with your space, not against it. This is a multi-fit bath: the same tub installs freestanding, back-to-wall or into a corner, giving you room to move when planning an ensuite or renovation where every centimetre and every plumbing decision matters. (Back-to-wall installation should only be carried out after waterproofing and tiling.)
Daily bathing calls for a material that feels comfortable and stays reliable. Our Japanese soaking bath is made from sanitary-grade acrylic with a gloss white finish that resists staining and cleans up with regular care.
Acrylic also holds heat far better than steel or cast iron, and the deep, compact shape exposes less water surface to the air — so your bath stays warm longer, whether that's after work or on a cold evening. It's lighter than stone or cast iron too, which makes installation more practical in a typical residential bathroom.
Backed by a 5-year warranty on the bath shell and waste, plus a 1-year guarantee on the finish.
The bath comes in a gloss white finish with a simple rectangular profile — square-set lines that suit modern Australian bathrooms and sit comfortably against tile, timber or stone. Pair it with bath tapware and bathtub accessories to finish the look.
Whether you are upgrading a compact ensuite or creating a calming retreat at home, our Japanese soaker bathtub brings together real depth, a small footprint and modern design — and you're welcome to see it in person at our Sydney showroom before you buy.
