Q: My husband and I are planning to remodel our bathroom by changing all the fixtures, but basically we're leaving the existing floor plan the same. My question is about choosing the new bathtub. Do they make heated bathtubs? I enjoy taking long baths, but do not like to keep adding hot water to the tub. We would need this tub to fit our existing space and we plan to install a tile-wall enclosure. Is this possible to have all these features in one tub? -- Jean, Ohio

A: Not only should that be possible, you should also be able to add another feature to your list. But, I'll save that surprise for last.

First, let's talk about the heating question. Yes, new-style bathtubs should be available in your area with heated surface options. You will need to check your local codes and work with a licensed electrician and plumber to have this type of tub installed, since it does have a built-in heating element.

When soaking in the tub, the heated surface can warm your back and neck with adjustable temperature settings. These tubs are usually made from acrylic materials and are available in different styles and sizes, along with different installation features.

For instance, in your case, you would want a tub with a built in "tile flange" so you can use wall tiles for the tub enclosure.

Some heated tubs are even available with a "curved apron" feature that will fit the space of a standard tub, but will give you a little more soaking area.

When you add up all these features, I bet that a lot of people reading this will "warm up" to the idea of installing a heated bathtub!

Plumber : New bathtub technology is not 'cool'

The emergency plumbers at Plumber 24 Hours have shown their support for World Plumbing Day, taking place on 11th March.

(PRWEB UK) 9 March 2013

A number of awareness raising events are taking place across the globe to mark the occasion including an attempt to break the record for the longest human towel chain in Australia as well as a specially commissioned song in Singapore. Talks will also be given at a number of primary schools by local World Plumbing Council representatives.

They specialise in providing UK residents with a fast response to all their plumbing issues.

Its good to see the work conducted by the plumbing industry being recognised. Human advancement is closely linked to plumbing technology and it is thanks to the progression of this that we can start to make conditions better.

In this country especially, it is easy to take for granted clean water and sufficient sanitation systems, however this is a major concern elsewhere in the world, something that better plumbing can help to alleviate.
