If you would miss a bath in a house?

[FishersGate]

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.

Different strokes for different folks I guess

For as many people saying I would never buy a house without a bath, there will be the same number saying they wouldn’t buy for something else like a utility room or even a shower

A house is for living in and I would prefer to have a house I enjoyed living in now rather than worrying that someone may view it in 10 years time, if I decided to sell, and didn’t like it because there wasn’t a bath.

We'd miss ours but one of us has a skin condition that requires regular baths as platt of the treatment so perhaps we're not your average buyer

This is my gut feeling to be honest. I see many beautiful houses and I don't miss the bath in them 🤣. Besides the costs of ever filling one up

Well done you, but I have at various times had to try to clean a baby and toddler, then toddler and 4/5 year old in showers rather than baths and it has mostly been a shit show where I'm soaked and they're crying with soap in their eyes.
Or I'm in with them trying to manage it, and actually having a shower to myself is one of the few things you generally do get to have to yourself as the parent of a young child.

Fair enough 🙂 as a PP said, different strokes for different folks. I was quite chill about it, and never found it difficult but I do get that isn't like that for everyone. Plus I was only showering one child, I wouldn't have wanted to attempt it with two!
I often used to get her washed, then hubby would take her and I'd finish alone, which worked for us, but again, wouldn't be for everyone.

We don't have a bath in our 3 bed. DH sometimes misses one, but I don't, and clearly it did not stop us buying the house.
