Freestanding Bathtubs (1500-1800 mm)
Sculptural oval, egg, and slipper forms. The centerpiece choice for premium suites, villas, and showroom floors. 2026 design consensus: thin-edge profiles and matte finishes now define the luxury tier.
Factory-direct freestanding, alcove, back-to-wall, clawfoot, and whirlpool bathtubs in reinforced acrylic and solid surface — manufactured in Foshan since 1999, exported to 190+ countries, with OEM/ODM support from sample to container loading.
“Trusted by buyers from more than 190 countries since 1999.”
The global bathtub market is projected to grow from USD 11.5 billion in 2024 to USD 19.2 billion by 2033, with acrylic the dominant material at roughly 44% share — because it is lighter to ship, easier to form, and warmer to the touch than cast iron or steel. KJbath builds its range around that reality: six series that cover every room plan and price tier a distributor or project buyer needs.

The freestanding look against a wall — no dust gap behind the tub, faster housekeeping. Ideal for compact hotel bathrooms and renovation projects.
Three-wall installation with apron-front options; alcove formats hold the largest type share of the market (~46%). Built for volume residential programs and midscale hotel keys, and easy to pair with a bathtub shower screen.
Water-jet, air-jet, or combo hydrotherapy systems with inline heaters and LED control panels. A feature-driven margin builder for wellness-positioned projects.
Heritage silhouettes in lightweight reinforced acrylic — the cast-iron look at a fraction of the freight weight and floor load.
Mineral-and-resin composite (aluminum trihydrate + acrylic resin) with a matte stone touch. Non-porous, seamless, and repairable — the specification of choice for 4- and 5-star hotel bathrooms.
A bathtub in a hotel or rental property lives a harder life than one in a private home — daily occupancy turnover, aggressive housekeeping chemicals, and luggage-grade abuse. The difference between a tub that crazes in two years and one that lasts fifteen is in the sheet, the reinforcement, and the process discipline. Explore our manufacturing process for the full picture.
Vacuum-thermoformed sanitary acrylic, 3.2-4.0 mm before forming: non-porous so mold and bacteria have nothing to grip, color-fast through the full sheet thickness (not a surface coating), and warm to the touch. Scratches polish out instead of showing a substrate color.
Multiple sprayed layers of chopped fiberglass and resin stiffen the shell to a finished thickness of 5-8 mm at the rim and base. This is what stops flexing, creaking, and rim cracking under a 100+ kg bather plus 200 L of water. Base boards are resin-bonded, not glued foam.
Artificial stone composite poured and cured in molds, then CNC-trimmed and hand-finished to a matte or semi-gloss surface. Minor damage is sanded and re-polished on site — a real lifecycle argument for hotel operators.
The ranges below cover current production series. Project-specific dimensions, drain positions, and finishes are confirmed during quotation — custom tooling is available for volumes that justify a dedicated mold.

Sourcing tip: most distributors build a two-tier range — a high-rotation freestanding 1700 mm plus an alcove model as the volume core, and one whirlpool or solid-surface piece as the margin driver. Mixed-model and mixed-category loading with our shower enclosures and doors, shower trays and bases, and shower wall panels keeps per-unit freight low.
Quality is built into the workflow, not inspected in at the end. Every bathtub order — stock series or OEM — moves through the same documented chain:
Acrylic sheet thickness and gloss, resin and fiberglass batch verification, hardware and drain kits checked against the approved spec sheet before forming.
Shell thickness mapping after thermoforming, reinforcement coverage checks, surface defect review under inspection lighting at each production stage.
100% water-fill, drain, and overflow leak tests; pump, jet, and control-panel function tests on every whirlpool unit — not a sample, every unit.
Cosmetic, dimensional, and packaging checks with photo documentation shared before loading. Third-party inspections (SGS, BV, TÜV) are welcomed and coordinated by our team.
Certification & test documentation (scope varies by line and market): ISO 9001 quality management; CE for Europe; CUPC for North America; SGCC and EN 12150 for associated tempered-glass components such as bathtub screens; BS 6206; AS/NZS 2208 for Australia/New Zealand. Hardware corrosion resistance verified by salt-spray testing (up to 96-hour neutral salt spray on plated finishes). Tell us your destination market and we will confirm the exact applicable certificates before quotation — never assume a certificate covers a product line it was not issued for. More detail on our quality control page.
Whether you need our standard series with your branding or a fully custom shell, the program follows a documented flow — 2026’s winning OEM partnerships are built on customization depth, not catalogue discounts.

Plumbing-code and certification documentation matched to your destination market.
Typical production 30-45 days after sample approval; custom tooling projects quoted separately.
Commercial applications already account for the majority of bathtub market revenue — hotels, serviced apartments, and wellness facilities where durability and cleanability decide the spec. Four program types where our tubs are running today:
Freestanding and whirlpool tubs raise perceived room value and support premium rate positioning. Industry research counts 1,900+ searches per month from travelers specifically filtering for hotels with jetted or large bathtubs — a tub is a bookable feature, not just a fixture.
Reinforced-acrylic shells and easy-clean non-porous surfaces stand up to high-turnover units; back-to-wall and alcove formats keep floor plans efficient and housekeeping fast.
Ergonomic 1500-1700 mm freestanding and back-to-wall models fit standard renovation footprints — a spa-style upgrade without structural work, and 60-70% lighter than cast iron on upper floors.
Sculptural tubs anchor the showroom floor and pull cross-sell across shower enclosures, trays, and wall panels — turning a single category into a complete bathroom story.
Market signal: hospitality analysts tracking 2026 hotel bathroom trends report that guests increasingly filter for wellness-oriented bath features, and that operators favor durable, repairable materials such as stone resin to cut lifetime maintenance cost.

Bathtubs are bulky, fragile, and expensive to return. The delivery plan matters as much as the product:
Every series ships with dimensioned installation drawings, drain/overflow positioning diagrams, and leveling instructions. Project orders receive room-number or zone-based labeling on request.
Floor-mounted with adjustable feet; standard installs need no wall fixing, which keeps retrofit projects simple.
Apron-front and tiling-flange options; left/right-hand drain orientations matched to your waste-line layout — confirm orientation at quotation, not on site.
Reinforced export cartons with EPE foam and corner protection; wooden crates for solid-surface and premium models; palletized or loose-loaded per your receiving setup.
A 40HQ typically fits 80-120 acrylic tubs depending on the model mix; alcove shells nest to raise that count. We share the loading plan — with photos — before the container doors close.
Samples 7-15 days depending on series; mass production 30-45 days after sample approval; we flag peak-season capacity honestly at quotation.
Eight questions buyers ask when planning a bathtub range — organized by role, from project developers to compliance managers.
For the Developer / Project BuyerStart from the room plan, not the catalogue. Freestanding suits signature suites with floor space; alcove and back-to-wall formats serve standard keys where footprint and housekeeping speed matter. Standardize one or two shells across room types to simplify maintenance and spare-part stocking, and lock drain positions and overflow standards per market before pricing.
For the SpecifierStandard tubs use 3.2-4.0 mm sanitary-grade acrylic, thermoformed and reinforced with sprayed fiberglass and resin to a finished 5-8 mm shell — non-porous, color-fast through the full thickness, and repairable by polishing. An artificial stone solid-surface option (mineral + acrylic resin composite) serves luxury specifications with a matte, seamless, sand-and-repolish surface.
For the OEM Brand OwnerYes. Under OEM/ODM programs we customize dimensions, shape, drain and overflow position, exterior color (including matte black), and apron style. A physical sample is approved before mass production, and custom tooling is quoted separately for volumes that justify a dedicated mold.
For the Distributor / WholesalerMOQ is flexible by series. Mixed-model orders and mixed-category container loading with our shower enclosures, trays, and wall panels are standard practice — this is how most of our wholesale partners keep per-unit freight low while carrying a full range.
For the ImporterSamples typically ship in 7-15 days depending on series; mass production runs 30-45 days after sample approval. We confirm lead time in writing at quotation and flag peak-season capacity before you commit.
For the Logistics ManagerTubs ship in reinforced export cartons with foam and corner protection; wooden crates are standard for solid-surface and fragile premium models. You receive a container loading plan with photos before shipment, and a 40HQ typically fits 80-120 acrylic tubs depending on the model mix.
For the Installer / ContractorYes. Alcove and back-to-wall models pair directly with our bathtub shower screens in 6-8 mm tempered glass (SGCC / EN 12150 certified). Sourcing tub and screen from one factory means matched dimensions, matched finishes, and one loading plan.
For the Compliance ManagerScope varies by product line and market. We support documentation including CUPC for North America, CE for Europe, ISO 9001 quality management, SGCC/EN 12150 for glass components, and AS/NZS 2208 for Australia/New Zealand.
