FAQ

What exactly is a drop-in bath?

A drop-in bathtub is a type of bath designed to be installed inside a custom-built raised platform, often finished with materials like ceramic tile, wood, quartz, or natural stone. Unlike a freestanding tub, a drop-in bathtub is fully or partially enclosed, with only the top rim exposed, creating a seamless and integrated look.

This bathtub installation style is ideal for a wide range of bathroom designs—from modern minimalist to timeless classic—thanks to its high level of customization. It allows you to tailor the surrounding deck to match your interior style and layout needs.

A drop-in acrylic bathtub is a great option for those looking to combine elegant aesthetics, installation flexibility, and comfort in their bathing space. It's especially popular where clean lines and cohesive finishes are essential.

Do I need an existing structure (or deck) to install a drop-in bath?

Yes, drop-in baths require the construction of a custom-built platform or deck to properly accommodate the tub. This base—often called a bathtub podium or deck—is typically constructed from wood framing, then finished with durable materials like ceramic tile, quartz, natural stone, or other water-resistant surfaces.

The structure must be solid, level, and built to fit the dimensions of the selected drop-in tub. While it does not need to support the full weight of the water-filled tub (since the feet of the tub rests on the floor), it plays a key role in hiding plumbing components and achieving a clean, integrated look.

Before purchasing your acrylic drop-in bathtub, make sure to plan enough space for the deck and review the product’s technical specifications to guide your contractor in building a platform that meets installation requirements and matches your bathroom layout.

Can your drop-in baths be installed undermount?

Yes, many Oceania drop-in bathtubs are fully compatible with undermount installation. This installation method involves completely covering the bathtub rim with a deck surface—such as quartz, natural stone, or ceramic tile—creating a smooth, seamless transition between the bathtub and the surrounding platform.

An undermount drop-in tub offers a clean, modern aesthetic and is especially popular in luxury bathroom renovations and minimalist interiors. In addition to its refined look, undermount installation also makes cleaning easier by eliminating exposed edges where debris can accumulate.

To ensure the acrylic drop-in tub you’ve selected supports undermount installation, refer to the product’s technical specifications or consult with your bathroom design professional before beginning your project.

Can the drop-in bath be installed in an alcove, in a corner or against a wall?

Yes, many Oceania rectangular drop-in bathtubs can be equipped with optional aluminum tile flanges, allowing for installation in an alcove (between three walls), a corner (between two walls), or against a single wall, depending on your bathroom layout.

This flexible configuration makes drop-in tubs a great choice for small bathrooms, tight spaces, or custom layouts where optimizing every inch is essential. No matter the installation type, Oceania bathtubs retain their core benefits: high-end materials, ergonomic comfort, refined design, and trusted North-American craftsmanship.

Before installation, make sure the drop-in bathtub model you’ve selected is compatible with the intended placement. We recommend reviewing the product’s technical specifications or speaking with a qualified installer to ensure proper fit.

What products are recommended for cleaning an acrylic drop-in bath?

The longevity of your acrylic drop-in bathtub depends in part on regular, proper maintenance. Every Oceania bathtub is designed for easy cleaning without compromising its gloss or long-term durability.

To clean your tub, we recommend using non-abrasive cleaning products, such as a soft cloth or sponge paired with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid abrasive scrubs, ammonia-based cleaners, or any solvents that could damage the acrylic surface finish.

Establishing a consistent bathtub cleaning routine will help preserve the bright white shine, prevent buildup, and extend the life of your bathroom fixture. The entire Oceania drop-in bath collection is engineered to make bathroom maintenance simple and stress-free—while maintaining a sleek, like-new appearance for years to come.

What is the warranty on the baths?

All Oceania drop-in bathtubs are backed by a 20-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. This warranty covers both the structural integrity and the white surface finish of the tub, provided that the installation and usage follow the guidelines outlined in our product documentation.

Whether you're purchasing a bathtub for a new build or replacing an existing one during a bathroom renovation, this long-term warranty gives you the peace of mind you deserve.

A well-designed bathroom starts with reliable, high-quality products—and a brand committed to long-term performance and customer satisfaction across North-America.

How do I install a podium bath?

The installation of a drop-in bathtub should always be performed by a qualified bathroom professional. This process includes building the custom deck, connecting the plumbing lines, ensuring proper water drainage, and precisely leveling the bathtub for optimal function and long-term stability.

A properly installed drop-in tub enhances the overall functionality and design of your bathroom—whether you live in a sleek modern condo or a heritage home. Precise installation ensures that your tub not only looks beautiful, but also performs reliably for years to come.
