A laundry tub apparatus with an overflow drain comprising an aperture located along an upper portion of a side wall and an overflow assembly is herein disclosed. The apparatus comprises a basin assembly, an overflow drain assembly, and a bottom drain assembly. The basin assembly comprises a tub, a bottom drain, and a faucet assembly. An overflow aperture is located in a side wall of the tub, further comprising an elbow which directs overflow water to the bottom drain assembly below the tub, thereby providing normal drainage into a waste system rather than completely filling the tub and spilling out.
