Woodbridge B-0012 67" Freestanding Acrylic Bathtub
Woodbridge B-0012 67" Freestanding Acrylic Bathtub Review
Woodbridge B-0012 -- modern freestanding at accessible pricing
The Woodbridge B-0012 is the flagship freestanding soaking tub in Woodbridge's bathtub lineup -- a 67-inch oval freestanding acrylic shell that delivers the visual centerpiece of a luxury bathroom at a price point well below cast iron alternatives from Kohler or TOTO. Woodbridge occupies a specific and valuable niche in the US market: freestanding aesthetics at $700-$1,100, versus $1,800-$2,600 for cast iron and $3,000-$8,000 for stone resin.
The B-0012 uses a double-walled acrylic construction -- the exterior wall gives the tub its sculptural oval form, while the interior wall defines the bathing basin. This double-wall technique is standard for higher-quality acrylic freestanding tubs and provides better thermal retention than single-wall construction (though still well below cast iron). The acrylic is approximately 8mm thick at the basin floor and walls, reinforced with fiberglass matting on the outer surface for rigidity. The result is a shell that doesn't flex noticeably when filled and occupied -- a common complaint about thinner-wall acrylic tubs in the sub-$500 range.
Dimensions and bathing depth
At 67 inches long, 31.5 inches wide, and 23.5 inches tall, the B-0012 is physically larger than most alcove tubs. The interior basin is approximately 54"x28"x15" -- a 54-inch bathing length that comfortably accommodates adults up to 5'10" and an effective soaking depth of 15 inches. The sculptural sides of the oval add visual bulk without adding to the usable interior dimension, so bathers accustomed to a 60" alcove may find the usable interior width similar despite the tub's dramatic exterior.
Installation planning for freestanding
Freestanding tubs require a floor drain rough-in at the tub's planned center position -- the B-0012's drain is at the foot end of the basin. Critical planning step: rough in the drain before flooring installation, as accessing it afterward requires removing either the tub or the finished floor. The B-0012 ships with a pop-up drain and overflow assembly in chrome; the filler faucet is not included and is the primary additional cost (floor-mount fillers range from $250 for entry-level chrome to $1,400 for premium brushed gold).
Woodbridge B-0012 vs Kohler Greek
The Woodbridge B-0012 at $700-$1,100 versus the Kohler Greek at $1,800-$2,600 -- the difference is acrylic versus cast iron. Acrylic loses heat faster (30-minute comfort window vs 45-60 minutes for cast iron), but it's 300+ pounds lighter, easier to install without structural reinforcement, available in more finish options, and carries dramatically lower upfront cost. For buyers who take 15-20 minute baths, the acrylic B-0012 is the right call at $1,000+ savings. For 45-minute soakers who fill once and stay, the Kohler Greek's thermal advantage compounds over years of use.
