If you would miss a bath in a house?

We are redoing our downstairs bathroom currently has a standing separate shower cubicle and a small _not full size adult bath. It's not a big bathroom, we have a shower room upstairs.

I was thinking of removing the bath and putting in a larger walk in shower. We don't use the bath and environmentally i think the shower is better but conscious if we sell the house it would put people off there being no bath.

I wouldn't be without a bath, but as long as there was space for one it wouldn't put me off a house I liked.

We did this a couple of years ago (also had tiny bathroom with not full sized bath) and I don’t regret it at all!

Are you thinking of selling the house? Lack of bath would put me off, but if you have no imminent plans to move then plan the space how it works best for you to live in and figure out selling if and when you do it.

And ime a bath is much easier with children than just a shower with a fixed shower head!

I had a bath in my last house that I never used, so when I bought my current house (with a bath) I ripped out the bath and put in a massive walk in shower which I bloody love!

do what works for you. The next owner can always out a bath back in.

Yes, I used mine a lot for bathing, watering my plants, soaking laundry, or hand washing things.
