Is a bathtub considered a fixture? Yes, a bathtub is considered a fixture in a home, specifically a plumbing fixture, because it is permanently installed and connected to plumbing system with water supply and drain pipes, requires tools and plumbing work to remove, and is intended to remain with house. In real estate terms, bathtub is part of real property, not personal property, so when house sold, bathtub stays. It meets legal test for fixture as it is attached to floor and walls, often with caulking and screws, adapted to bathroom use, and intended to be permanent. Even freestanding soaking tubs with plumbing connections are considered fixtures if plumbed in. Only portable inflatable tubs would be personal property. So bathtub is classic example of plumbing fixture along with toilet, sink, and shower, all considered fixtures that stay with home, unlike movable furniture. Plumbers refer to bathtub as fixture that provides water and drainage.
