Hello everyone,

Our bathtub has just been installed, and in our opinion, it is too low. From the top of the screed to the top of the tub, it is only 45 cm (18 inches). Are we mistaken? Is there a standard height?

Good luck

What are the specified heights? I would take the opportunity to check all the heights in the bathroom.

The bathtub should be installed 600mm (24 inches) above the finished floor level.

These are approximate measurements... just search online, and you will quickly find many people complaining about bathtubs that are too high. In the end, it has to suit your taste.

Hello Alex,

thank you.

@BeHaElJa: What is your recommendation? Preferably lower?

When sitting on the edge of a 45 mm (1.8 inch) bathtub to bathe the children, it is not very comfortable.....

Good luck

Of course, it is not mandatory to build exactly according to these, but installers need some standards to follow, and these are the norms.

Good morning,

As far as I know, there is no mandatory standard stating whether the bathtub must be installed on the rough subfloor or the screed must.

Therefore, in my opinion, you have no claim to a change; unless the plumber agrees to raise the bathtub at your request.
