A soaking tub turns your bathroom into a personal retreat. These tubs are deeper than standard bathtubs, letting you submerge up to your shoulders for a truly relaxing experience.
DeCicco Property Group installs freestanding, alcove, drop-in, and Japanese-style soaking tubs as part of our full bathroom remodeling services in Hammonton. We handle the plumbing, structural support, and finish work for every installation.
Whether you want a statement freestanding tub or a built-in alcove option, our team installs it to look and function perfectly in your South Jersey home.
You can see the full scope of our bathroom work on our main category page at https://deciccopropertygroupllc.com/bathroom-remodeling/ or call us to walk through what your project will involve.
Soaking tubs come in several styles. Each one works differently in terms of installation, space requirements, and overall design.
Alcove models fit between three walls, similar to a standard bathtub. They are a good option when space is limited but you still want the deeper soaking depth. These tubs are the easiest to install because they use existing plumbing locations.
Drop-in tubs are set into a framed deck or platform. The rim of the tub rests on the deck surface. This style works well in larger bathrooms where you want a built-in, finished look.
Japanese soaking tubs are deeper and shorter than Western models. You sit upright rather than reclining. They are ideal for smaller bathrooms because they have a smaller footprint while still providing full-body immersion.
Most soaking tub installation projects we take on in Hammonton follow the same rhythm – an in-home visit, a written scope, a scheduled start date, and a walkthrough at the end so nothing is left open.
Every project starts with a site measurement and a quick conversation about how you use the room. We only order materials after we have confirmed dimensions and walked through the plan with you.
Soaking tubs hold significantly more water than standard bathtubs. That means the plumbing needs to handle both a higher volume of water and a heavier overall weight.
Most soaking tubs hold between 60 and 100 gallons of water when full. A standard bathtub holds about 30 to 50 gallons. Your hot water heater needs enough capacity to fill the tub without running cold. We evaluate your water heater before installation.
The drain is another consideration. Soaking tubs need a larger drain or a faster-flowing drain line to empty in a reasonable time. We upgrade the drain plumbing as needed during installation.
For freestanding tubs, the water supply lines and drain need to come up through the floor or out of the wall at the correct location. We plan this routing before any demolition begins to ensure clean, hidden connections.
Hammonton has a good mix of older homes and newer construction. The work we do adapts to the house in front of us, whether that is a 1950s bungalow off the White Horse Pike or a newer build in the Egg Harbor Township subdivisions.
We protect the rest of your home during the work. Plastic sheeting keeps dust out of adjacent rooms, floor runners protect hallways and stairs, and we break down debris at the end of every day so the site stays clean.
The right tub size depends on your bathroom dimensions, how you plan to use it, and how many people will use it at a time.
For one person, a 60-inch tub is the most common size in Hammonton. It fits comfortably in most bathrooms and provides enough depth and length for a full soak. For two people or for taller homeowners, 66-inch and 72-inch models are available.
Before choosing a tub, we measure your bathroom and map out the placement. We account for clearance around the tub, door swing, and proximity to other fixtures. A freestanding tub needs at least 6 inches of open space on all sides for cleaning access.
Weight is also a factor. A soaking tub filled with water and a person in it can weigh over 1,000 pounds. We inspect the floor structure to confirm it can support the load. If reinforcement is needed, we handle that as part of the project.
We bring the same attention to detail to every job, large or small. You should get the same clean job site, the same clear communication, and the same level of finish work whether the project is a single vanity swap or a full remodel.
If something changes mid-project, we stop and talk about it before we spend money. No surprise invoices, no unauthorized substitutions. You sign off on any change before it happens.

Deciding between a freestanding and built-in soaking tub comes down to your bathroom layout, design goals, and budget.
Freestanding tubs create a dramatic visual statement. They work best in larger bathrooms where the tub can sit in the center of the room or in front of a window. The tub itself becomes the centerpiece of the design.
Built-in options, including alcove and drop-in styles, integrate with the surrounding surfaces. You can tile the deck, add storage niches, and create a seamless look. Built-in tubs are generally less expensive to install because they use standard plumbing configurations.
Freestanding tubs are more expensive to install because they require floor-mounted plumbing and sometimes structural floor reinforcement. Many Hammonton homeowners find the visual impact is worth the added investment.
We do not subcontract the core work. Our crew handles demo, rough-in, and finish on every soaking tub installation project in Hammonton, Egg Harbor Township, and Vineland. That keeps quality consistent and avoids the miscommunication that happens between separate crews.
Permits and inspections are handled on our end. We know the Hammonton and Egg Harbor Township inspectors, we know what they look for, and we schedule inspections at the right points in the build so the job keeps moving.
We inspect your floor structure before installation to confirm it can support the weight of a filled soaking tub. If reinforcement is needed, we include it in the project scope.
We help you choose the right tub style, size, and placement for your bathroom. Our goal is a finished result that looks intentional and works perfectly for your daily routine.

Most freestanding tubs need at least 6 inches of open clearance on every side for cleaning access. A 60-inch tub typically requires a bathroom with at least 7 by 8 feet of open floor area once the other fixtures are placed.
