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!

Love it concerned where did you get the tiles?

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.
