Kohler 20202-LA-0 Underscore Bathtub, White

This was delivered today, wasn't supposed to be here until next Tuesday, so bonus. ---- We risked getting one from the manufacturer that had been returned, undamaged. It was a substantial savings. Very glad we risked it, came completely fine and hopefully will be installed soon. Will give an update in future. So far, so good.

I spent a lot of time researching deep tubs, looking for the one with largest interior dimensions with a standard-sized footprint, and this fit the bill. I love the sleek, modern look of the tub (perfect for our master bath remodel design), and the soaking depth is 15" to the bottom of the overflow, which is great! (Standard tub depth to overflow is about 10".) The price was very reasonable compared to other deeper tubs. We are very happy with this purchase.

This is a beautiful tub but, unfortunately, it has a common defect. I ordered this tub twice, from two separate suppliers, and it came the same way both times. The plywood under the face of the alcove where the tub meets the floor splits wide open. This prevents the face of the tub from laying totally flush. Our contractor advised against installing this. I wish this issue wasn’t present because, otherwise, it’s a very roomy tub and, I imagine, a great soaker.

Installed this for a DIY bathroom remodel. Very high quality tub for the 60” alcove space limitation if you want to feel like you’re in a claw foot. Looked at tons of types/makes and thought acrylic would feel cheap compared to cast iron/steel but feels great and solid. Putting down a mortar bed below the tub is a must to get good rigidity under the tub considering it’s acrylic. Don’t just do adhesive—mortar Is barely more effort and much easier than I thought it would be.
