DH keeps banging on about getting rid of the bath.

Ok not a third world issue here.

Have a 4 bed house (4th bed is attic conversion with en suite shower room and toilet).

Have tiny main bathroom (Victorian house semi) where most of us shower none of us have baths on a regular basis.

OH gets quite worked up and anxious about stuff and the bathroom gets really steamed up we have tried various things to overcome this but OH is paranoid the ceiling is going to come down (the paint keeps peeling off).

He wants to get rid of the bath and I guess turn it into a wet room with the extractor directly above the shower.

I don’t have baths but I just think this is a really bad idea as it’s handy for washing things out by hand, will devalue the house and in the past I have had back problems (major surgery) where baths helped, and occasionally people (we have 3 kids living here and two have partners regularly staying and 3 step kids stay a lot) just want a bath.

OH reckons we’ll be here at least another 10 years (I do not) and I just feel especially from a resale POV this is a really shit idea?

Sounds like there is up to 10 people using the bathroom, definitely needs a more powerful extractor fan, the air will be very wet, open the window more frequently., it is cheaper to heat dry cold air than hot wet air.

If you only use it a few times a year it's worth keeping. Especially as it's a rubbish reason to get rid.
