From what we know, HERA Bathroom is a Singapore-born brand, with bathtubs specially created to fit HDBs. In fact, everything can be customised according to your home’s size and dimensions, so even those living in tiny 2-room flats can add a touch of luxury to their bathrooms.

One thing special about HERA Bathroom’s bathtubs is the fact that they are super easy to install - “plug and play”, they would say. Believe it or not, there’s no hacking, re-tiling, cement work, or any invasive renovation work involved, and because of this, no prior approval is required from HDB. This makes it possible for both new BTO/resale flat owners, as well as existing homeowners, to spruce up their toilets with minimal hassle.

The largest bathtub weighs between 30kg to 50kg, and when filled and occupied, can reach up to 250kg - which is still within the official loading weight limit allowed by HDB. No need to worry about unwittingly breaking any rules, or causing cracks in your floor. Ugly pipes won’t be an issue either, as these bathtubs are freestanding. In fact, having a bathtub in your shower can actually help hide away any unsightly piping or plumbing work!

While white is most popular, they also have a few selections in black for those who prefer a moodier colour palette. These are the only two colours available at the moment, but here's hoping they'll add some pastel shades to their collection in time to come!

Surprisingly, it doesn’t cost too much to have one of these luxurious bathtubs installed in your home. According to HERA, prices generally range between $1,245 to $1,800, and customisation, if any, would require a $500 top-up. Installation fees range from $80 to $150 depending on the extent of work required. All things considered, you’ll be spending less than $2.500 at the very most for a spa-like addition to your toilet.
