Tub Types
Ella’s Bubbles offers various types of tubs. Sizes and features vary depending on the model you go for.
One-person walk-in tubs
A selection of options are available with both U-shaped and L-shaped doors. Some models have inswing doors, while other doors swing outward.
Two-seat walk-in tubs
Ella’s Bubbles’ two-seat tubs are perfect for those who like to share a bath with their spouse or romantic partner.
Wheelchair-accessible tubs
Ella’s Bubbles’ wheelchair-accessible tubs are similar to its one-person models but come with much larger L-shaped doors which can clear a standard 21” toilet, and additional safety features such as a rubberized handle located on the door and soft slide acrylic surfaces for an easy transition from a wheelchair or scooter.
Lay-down tubs
Ella’s Bubbles also offers a small range of lay-down tubs that are perfect for those who like to stretch out and relax. In addition, these tubs can be purchased with several different massage options. For extra safety, these tubs include an inward swing door and can be available with a glass shower screen.
Pricing
Ella’s Bubbles sells walk-in tubs direct to the public and through a network of third-party resellers. The exact prices you pay will depend on your location, the type of tub you require, and the extra features you choose. You will need to speak with the sales team for a custom quote.
Estimated prices are listed on the product page for many of Ella’s Bubbles’ tubs. In most cases, these sit in the range of $3,000 to $8,000, although you may pay slightly more or less for certain models and add-ons.
The price of a walk-in tub from Ella’s Bubbles doesn’t include installation. You will have to organize your own installers—with or without the help of the company’s sales team—and this can cost thousands of dollars.
This makes Ella’s Bubbles’ prices higher than some of its competitors. For example, prices for an American Standard tub start at $5,000 and include installation, making its products much cheaper than Ella’s Bubbles’.
We looked at a couple of Ella’s Bubbles’ popular models to give you a better idea of its exact prices. The price for the cheapest wheelchair-accessible tub ranges from $4,673 to $7,214. The cheapest two-person tub starts at $7,427, and the cheapest one-person tub starts at $3,889.

Walk-in Tub Installation
Ella’s Bubbles doesn’t provide direct installation services, but the team is available to help you organize an installer or guide you through the installation process. The company works alongside a US-wide installation network, enabling it to put you in contact with a local contractor.
Installation times vary, but the contractors can often install the tub within one day. You can speak with the Ella’s Bubbles team or your contractor about removing your old tub, if necessary.
Free in-home consultations are also available on request. Simply reach out to the Ella’s Bubbles team via phone or the online contact form to organize this. We’d suggest taking advantage of this to ensure you get the right tub for your bathroom.
Warranty
All walk-in tubs from Ella’s Bubbles come with a limited lifetime warranty. This applies for the duration of the owner's lifetime, but it’s only valid for tubs that remain at the original installation address. The warranty is void as soon as a new owner purchases the house where the tub was installed or the original owner moves the tub to another address.
The warranty covers free parts in the case of manufacturing defects or malfunctions. It doesn’t cover issues caused by improper use, including through a lack of maintenance. Shipping and labor aren’t covered by the warranty, so you will have to cover these.
Summary
Ella’s Bubbles offers an excellent selection of walk-in tubs. Its tubs are made in the USA and distributed worldwide, and you shouldn’t have any trouble obtaining one. Its base prices are excellent, but don’t forget that you will have to pay for installation.
There are loads of great features, including both air and hydro massage jets. Past customer reviews are generally positive, and there’s little not to like. If you’re looking for a walk-in tub, we’d recommend speaking with the Ella’s Bubbles team to see if they can help.
