About Pedestal Tubs
Presence without the feet
A pedestal tub gives you the raised, sculptural presence of a freestanding centerpiece, but on a solid base rather than four feet. The result reads a little more architectural and a little less vintage than a clawfoot, and it conceals the drain plumbing inside the plinth.
Our pedestal range is led by Barclay bateau and roll-top models in cast iron and copper, from single-soak sizes up to a generous 78-inch double.

Pedestal Tub FAQ
Common questions
What is the difference between a pedestal tub and a clawfoot tub?
Both are raised freestanding tubs. A clawfoot sits on four individual feet for a vintage look; a pedestal sits on one solid plinth base, which reads cleaner and hides the drain plumbing.
Are pedestal tubs freestanding?
Yes. A pedestal tub is a freestanding tub finished on all sides. The pedestal refers to the solid base it stands on rather than how it mounts.
How heavy is a cast iron pedestal tub?
Cast iron models are heavy enough to require floor support planning and help during installation. Confirm your subfloor and settle the final location before delivery.
Can I get a pedestal tub as a complete kit?
Yes. Several pedestal models, like the Barclay Duet, come as kits that include the matching faucet and drain, so you order one coordinated package.
