How to Turn Your Normal Bath into a Jacuzzi: Everything You Need to Know

Have you ever dreamed of pampering yourself with a spa-like experience from home? A day at the spa doesn’t come cheap, and while it’s a lovely experience, in many cases, it’s just not justifiable on a regular basis. Luckily, if you’ve been looking for a way to make your regular bath time more luxurious and relaxing, as a result, we’ve come up with some key tips today to help you find out more about transforming your regular bath into a jacuzzi experience. From the benefits of creating a jacuzzi bath through to the key things to watch out for when making the switch, we’ve covered a few crucial things you should know to help inform this decision.

How to Turn Your Normal Bath into a Jacuzzi 

Ready to turn your normal bath into a jacuzzi? Perhaps unsurprisingly, this can often seem like a complex process – and, let’s face it, a jacuzzi is very different compared to a standard bathtub. Still, it’s actually surprisingly simple to turn your bath into a jacuzzi-like experience. All you’ll need is a few simple pieces of equipment and a little creativity and imagination, and we promise that you’ll be in for the soak of a lifetime.

The Things You’ll Need to Make This Transformation 

If you’re ready to begin learning how to turn your normal bath into a jacuzzi-like experience, you’ll need a few pieces of equipment to get started. Fortunately, these are often easy to source, so don’t worry too much if you’ve been feeling a little unsure about how to pull this transformation off.

When making the switch from a regular, plain bathtub to a luxurious bathtub, you’ll need the following:

  • An overflow drain cover to ensure you can fill your bathtub up as much as possible. After all, part of the luxury of a jacuzzi is the delightfully deep water, is it not? 
  • Color-changing lights for both under the water and outside of the bath. These lights can help add a little extra magic to your bathroom, especially when you turn off the lights for a long, hot soak in your jacuzzi-inspired bathtub!
  • A portable jet bath spa is ideal for recreating the lovely water movement that we’re so accustomed to with a regular jacuzzi. It can’t recreate the power of a full jacuzzi, of course, but at around $100 for each jet, they’re so much cheaper than buying a full jacuzzi – or even paying for a whole day at the spa.
  • Invest in a massaging bathmat to add a little extra luxury to any soak. Massaging bath mats are roughly the same price as a portable jet bath spa, so it may be worth considering whether you’d like to invest in both or just one. They’re simply heavenly, though, making any bathtime more luxurious overall.

You can transform any soak into a relaxing spa-like experience with the above equipment. However, if you have a little more cash (and time) to invest in the transformation, you could even purchase a DIY bath transformation kit to install permanent whirlpool jets into your bathtub. However, this is often in the region of around $500 to $1000 – still much cheaper than a real jacuzzi, but potentially out of the realms of most budgets.

What to Watch Out For When Making the Switch 

When making the switch from a regular bath to a jacuzzi bathtub, we’d recommend taking the utmost care to ensure you’ve invested in top-quality equipment. For example, not all jet bath spas or portable massage mats are created equally, and so choosing one that’s not well-reputed for quality could end in disappointment. 

Similarly, you should also ensure that you won’t be risking your bath’s structural strength by making the transformation. For example, make sure you remember to take the overflow plug out and keep an eye on the water level carefully to prevent flooding your bathroom.

Additional Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Jacuzzi Bath

At this point, we’ve considered some basic tips you could implement to transform your bath into a jacuzzi bathtub. However, to get the most from your new soak, we’d highly recommend investing in some spa-quality shampoo, conditioner, and body washes, and to really add a touch of extra luxury, why not bring out the bath bombs or bubble bars for a truly luxurious experience overall?  

Final Thoughts

Treat yourself to a spa-day experience from the comfort of your own home by transforming your bath into a Jacuzzi experience. Indeed, this is something that many people often overlook, but for a relatively low price, you can recreate the magic and wonder of the spa in your own home simply by taking a few steps. Hopefully, this is actually surprisingly easy to accomplish, so if you’ve got a little time on your hands to make the transformation, it could work wonders!
