Abstract: An improved bathtub, having a wall form and an adjoining base form, both of which are an integral part and made from the same material as the bathtub. The wall form extends lengthwise the full extent of the upper back bathtub planar surface and at right angles along the end planar surfaces, then at right angles down both ends of the bathtub front wall to the floor level, where, at right angles, the base form is joined at each end of the bathtub. The bathtub wall form provides the following: a secure means of attaching the bathtub to the structural wall members, an improved tapering wall or flange that eliminates the bulge where drywall and the upper flange of the bathtub meet, a means of holding the drywall edge away from the planar surface of the bathtub, and a wall tile groove. The base form provides a unique method of sliding the floor covering up and into the lower portion of the front bathtub wall, thus eliminating the normal cut or abutted joint found at the base of the bathtub front wall.
