Ella's Bubbles walk-in tub models
Ella’s Bubbles offers over 25 proprietary walk-in tub models. All Ella's walk-in tub models come with exclusive features. These include Ella’s patented dual drain technology that allows water to drain in as few as 80 seconds, push controls, leakproof doors and slip-resistant floors.
You can customize your tub with a soaking option, hydrotherapy, air massage, Infusion Microbubble therapy or dual and triple massage systems. All models include removable access panels for easy maintenance and repair. The company also offers optional features, including heated seats, heated backrests and aromatherapy.
Higher-end models, like the fully loaded Ultimate walk-in tub, include an independent foot massage and luxury features such as a patented 360-degree swivel tray, chromotherapy and a triple combination of hydro, air and foot/calf jets.
Ella’s Bubbles sells many types of walk-in tubs, including:
Inward-swinging door walk-in tubs
Ella’s inward-swinging door walk-in tubs include five models:
- Petite (30” x 52”): Starts at $3,888
- Elite (32” x 52”): Starts at $4,002
- Royal (28” x 52”): Starts at $4,033
- Deluxe (30” x 55”): Starts at $5,923
- Ultimate (30” x 60”): Starts at $6,566
All come with stainless steel doors that include a frosted, tempered glass door for a more modern look. The Elite model is the most popular choice among customers and features a removable 360-degree swivel tray and add-ons like LED chromotherapy.
For smaller spaces, Ella created the Petite model, which includes the same 20-inch seat as the longer Deluxe model but is designed for average or petite body types.
The inward-swinging line also has roomier models, such as the Royal (which is designed for larger individuals) and the Deluxe and Ultimate (which are designed for taller and/or larger individuals).
Outward-swinging door walk-in tubs
Ella’s outward-swinging door walk-in tubs include seven models:
- Front Entry (32” x 40”): Starts at $3,870
- Mobile (26” x 45”): Starts at $3,973
- Capri (30” x 52”): Starts at $4,357

- ShaK (36” x 72”): Starts at $8,302
The Monaco, Capri, Lounger, Mobile and Front Entry outward-swinging models come with plastic composite doors but have a tempered glass window in the door, giving them the same sleek look of Ella’s Inward Swing tubs.
The most popular, Capri, is designed for average-size bathrooms and spaces. Those with smaller bathing areas should look at the space-saving Mobile, Front Entry or Lounger models, while bathers who prefer a roomier experience may prefer the Monaco. Select models, like the narrower Lounger, can be built with an anti-scald thermostatic control valve.
Wheelchair accessible walk-in tubs
Ella’s wheelchair accessible door walk-in tubs include five models:
- Transfer26 (26” x 52”): Starts at $4,673
- Transfer30 (30” x 52”): Starts at $4,691
- Transfer32 (32” x 52”): Starts at $4,709
- Transfer60 (30” x 60”): Starts at $4,839
- TransferXXXL (36” x 55”): Starts at $4,999
Ella's Bubbles designed this line of walk-in tubs with accessibility in mind. The TransferXXXL, Transfer60, Transfer32, Transfer30 and Transfer 26 all come with aluminum L-shaped doors, foot and shin massage hydro jets and two grab bars to provide bathers with safe and easy entry.
The Transfer30, the company's most popular standard-size model, has air and hydro jets for those interested in dual massage, while the Transfer26 is great for smaller bathrooms. For those shopping for wider models, Ella’s Bubbles suggests the Transfer32, Transfer60 or TransferXXXL, which include wider seats and/or longer frames.
Lay-down acrylic walk-in tubs
Ella’s Bubbles’ lay-down acrylic walk-in tubs are ideal for anyone whose disability or mobility challenges keep them off their feet. These walk-in tubs come with many options, including soaking features, Ella’s Infusion Microbubble therapy system and optional glass shower screens.

All two-seat walk-in tubs include a center door and drain as well as Ella’s standard adjustable leveling legs.
Ella's Bubbles walk-in tub accessories and other products
In addition to its walk-in tubs, Ella’s Bubbles offers accessories and products for your bathroom and home, including cultured marble shower bases and seats, free-standing tubs, alcove bathtubs, vanities and accessories.
The company's accessories include a four-fold glass shower screen that can be opened and closed during bathing and an adjustable shower column kit that adds an oversized rain showerhead that eliminates the need for a wall-mounted showerhead.
Anyone looking to upgrade their bath to a spa-like experience can find an installation kit for the Ella Infusion Microbubble therapy system, which is a process of infusing pressurized water with billions of micro-sized, oxygen-rich bubbles. These bubbles can help exfoliate, detoxify, moisturize and relieve skin-related issues.
In addition, you can choose to include a two- or five-piece fast-fill faucet on all tubs. The faucet comes with a hand shower that is available with five different water pressures.
How much do Ella's Bubbles walk-in bathtubs cost?
Ella's walk-in tubs typically range from $3,500 to $10,000. High-end tubs, such as the two-seat Big4Two for couples, begin at over $10,000 because of the numerous luxury features, such as triple-massage with microbubble therapy, heated seats and two fast-fill faucets.
Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs can be purchased with or without installation. Local technicians tend to install the tub for $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the walk-in tub's model and size, the bathroom layout and the amount of work that needs to be done.
Ella’s Bubbles FAQ
Do Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs come with a warranty?
Yes, Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs come with a warranty. The bathtub shell, frame, door, door seal and finish are covered by a limited lifetime warranty under normal use and conditions. All supporting equipment, motors, pumps, fixtures, electronic controls, faucet, waste, overflow and plated finishes are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The thermostatic control valve comes with a one-year limited warranty.
Who installs my Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tub?
Ella’s Bubbles has a network of dealers and contractors. Customers can find a local dealer to install and service a walk-in tub through the company's website.
What’s the difference between a gel coat or acrylic Ella's walk-in tub?
Both gel coat and acrylic walk-in tubs are made with fiberglass reinforcements. The main difference is the material used for the surface. Gel coat walk-in tubs are made from fiberglass with plywood backing and are just as durable and long-lasting as acrylic tubs. Acrylic tubs, on the other hand, are made from one material that allows for surface resistance to mold and mildew, which makes them easier to maintain.
Is financing available with Ella’s Bubbles?
Yes. Ella's Bubbles offers financing through Klarna or PayPal.
Are Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs worth it?
Ella's Bubbles' customer and installation network make purchasing a walk-in tub simple, and the company's wide variety of tubs helps ensure you can find one that fits your needs. Ella's Bubbles also provides accessories and products for a safer and more enjoyable bathing experience. If you need a walk-in tub for safety or convenience, a walk-in tub from Ella's Bubbles is worth the investment.
