A stand alone tub is supposed to feel like a retreat, not something you work around. But in many San Diego homes, tubs are undersized, boxed in, or placed without much thought to how the bathroom is actually used.
We install stand alone tubs that turn bathing into a real experience, not an afterthought. No awkward placement, no rushed installations, no long renovation timelines. Just a properly installed tub that fits the space, the plumbing, and how you want your bathroom to feel, completed in days—not months.
Why San Diego Homeowners Choose Nulux
Here’s what we’ve learned after 65+ years of San Diego bathroom projects: stand alone tubs only work when the structure and plumbing are handled correctly. These tubs are heavier, require precise drain placement, and need proper floor support to perform safely long term.
Homes in older neighborhoods like North Park and Clairemont often need floor reinforcement, while newer builds in Carmel Valley present different plumbing alignment challenges. We’ve seen tubs fail because contractors treated them like decorative fixtures instead of functional systems.
We’ve solved these problems hundreds of times. Our full-time installers know how to reinforce floors, align plumbing accurately, and install stand alone tubs so they remain stable, level, and leak-free. We handle permits ourselves, show up when we say we will, and back every installation with a lifetime warranty because we’re not going anywhere.
The remodeling of our bathroom was a very good experience we didn't anticipate. The never used bathtub provided a space where we now enjoy nature & birds we watch through the windows.
We replaced our tub shower combination with a new quartz shower and it looks great. Jesse did a great job in explaining the entire process so that there wasn't any surprises. Israel, who did the majority of the installation, was courteous, meticulous and kept our bathroom very clean. Jim reviewed the overall work and was available by phone to answer any construction questions. I recommend Nulux for any of your bathroom remodeling needs.
Sean, the rep I met with, was informative and nice. His presentation helped me make my choice to go with Nulux. Jim, the project organizer, called to schedule a start date only after I called after waiting a number of weeks. By chance, the materials for the shower had arrived that day and he simply hadn't got to me yet.
The perk of the project was Israel, the installer. Super friendly, caring, good sense of humor, (loved his music), worked hard and long to demolish the old and install the new shower in three days. My significant said to me as Israel left, "He is a perfect representative for any company." He is a keeper! I would ask for Israel to do any future work I might have.

I used Nulux to remodel three bathroom In my investment property that were circa 1977.
I was looking for a company that did the acrylic inserts and I really liked the selections that they had. Everything was seamless from quote to execution to completion.
I live in another state so managing this project was a little more complicated than the normal project. Their construction manager, Jim, kept me informed at every milestone and they finished on time which was very important to me.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the North County San Diego area who is looking for bathroom remodeling.

We had our bath tub remodeled into a walk in shower a month ago by Nulux Baths. These guys did an amazing job. The process was very smooth from start to finish and only took 3 days. I mostly interacted with 3 employees namely Sean, Jim and Israel. All 3 of them were kind, professional, skilled and knowledgeable. They executed my plan exactly as I wanted. I am very happy and satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend them. Thank you Nulux for a job well done.

Is It Worth Remodeling My San Diego Bathroom?
The real question isn’t whether you can install a stand alone tub—it’s whether it fits how you plan to use the bathroom.
If you want a true soaking experience or are creating a spa-like primary bathroom, a stand alone tub makes sense. They’re ideal for homeowners who value relaxation and want the tub to be a focal point, not an afterthought.
But if space is limited or the tub would replace your only shower, you may want to think twice. Stand alone tubs require room to breathe and are best used as part of a balanced bathroom layout.
The homes where we see the biggest transformation are those where the tub becomes part of the overall design, not something squeezed into the corner. These installations don’t just change the look of the bathroom; they change how the space is used.
