Hello! Do you think these sentences above sound natural? I was wondering "bath salts" has to be in the plural all the time?

These sentences sound natural! And yes you make bath salts plural every time you talk about them. The only unnatural thing here would be the separation of all these sentences. We’d likely say something along the lines of “I filled the bathtub with hot water and bath salts. After I took my bath, I drained the water.” But ignore that if you are supposed to write out each action like that for an assignment or something.

1. I filled the bathtub with hot water.
The rest of the sentences are fine.
Bath salts are plural all the time, so bath salts is the correct term.

@wtmlj Aha, "bathtub" is one word an "tub", not "tab"! Thank you! OK, I'll use "bath salts" in the plural all the time! Arigato!
