Bathroom refurb-shower cubicle or not?

[Polkadot1974]

We have quite a small bathroom but could “just” fit a cubicle in. Had a decent plan from the bath store but outrageous fitting cost. Well maybe not outrageous but I can’t afford 7.8k!!
Anyway I digress - if I can get a separate shower, should I? Will I regret sticking with current shower over bath ?
Anyone done a bathroom lately and willing to share their dos and don’ts?
Thank you!

I love that Ginny! Husband really wants shower over but as we can’t really do s bigger bath - most are as long as our bathroom and the space to either side of door is a bath width - I would think bath will look bigger without the shower shizzle over it. The shape of that enclosure looks fab

I am really happy I chose that enclosure. If I had to do it again, I'd go for a narrower sink unit- that one is 600mm as I was worried about having enough storage, but it just looks a tad too big, especially with the loo opposite not being as wide. I should have gone for a 400!

Who uses your bath and how often??

Is it worth getting a short bath and moving everything around to fit in cubicle?

We all love a bath!

I’m in process of doing my ensuite.

Main bathroom will have stand alone shower quite honestly, I would be happy with this as my main.

It’s not finished yet I hasten to add!

I am about to move house and the main thing I will miss about this house is the separate shower cubicle. I love baths and showers, it’s a nice big cubicle and it does make a difference. If I could have it I would, and I think you have the space.

Ha!

Here it is a day later.

I’m so happy with it!

Depends on who is going to be using your bathroom, and if that is for a long time, or if you are likely to be moving soon enough to think of "sell on appeal".

Pros of having a sep shower :
FAntastic when your dc are more than babies but pre puberty, and you can get them clean all at once - having a sep shower cubicle and bath was wonderful when mine were that age
If you have anyone likely to be using the bathroom with any sort of mobility issues - maybe elderly or maybe an injury or illness or condition - then climbing over the side of the bath to have a shower can be really difficult.

Pros of not - only one I can see is that your bathroom looks more spacious on a show round

I'd go for having both shower and bath if you can fit them in.
