Bath v Shower (or both)
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | I'm looking at renovating a bathroom in an apartment. At present there is a bath as well as a shower, but in seven years the bath has never been used. I would like to remove the bath, leaving more room for a decent sized shower and vanity, however wondering whether this would be a disadvantage when we eventually sell the apartment. What would you do, and do you ever use a bath? Thanks. nanalu - 2021-08-16 10:34:00 |
| 2 | We have a new (4 year old house) and the bath has been used about 3 times. captaingraham - 2021-08-16 11:10:00 |

| 4 | Shub, so you or future users can bath small children and dogs in it. Bath are uneconomical and frowned upon these days while we are trying to save the world lilyfield - 2021-08-16 12:00:00 |

It would not be suitable for kids, so just singles or couples. Thinking just a decent sized shower and vanity. nanalu - 2021-08-16 14:00:00 |
| 7 | I much prefer a bath and wouldn't buy a place if there wasn't at least room to put one in if only a shower. kacy5 - 2021-08-16 15:04:00 |
| 8 | I like a bath as well. lythande1 - 2021-08-16 15:27:00 |
| 9 | I can’t live without a bath. We have two. lakeview3 - 2021-08-16 15:43:00 |
| 10 | In an apartment I think a decent shower and vanity would be far preferable to a squished in shower and bath. We don't have a bath (3 bedroom house) and are redoing our bathroom soon, and won't be adding one. You don't need a bath for a baby, we have survived perfectly well without (as have our friends with twins). blands70 - 2021-08-16 17:12:00 |
| 11 | If you arent planning on selling within the next 5-10 years then have it how YOU want it. No point compromising for the sake of what somebody else might or might not want in 10 years time, when it will all probably need to be ripped out and replaced anyway. nzmax - 2021-08-16 18:18:00 |

| 13 | One of our baths has LED lights, spa jets and a port hole! ???????????? Hubby is in there right now - something you just CANNOT unsee! ???????????? And NO we did not put it in!!!!! It’s hilarious actually!!! Ok the upside it’s very big and we can get 2 of us in there at once easy. Edited by lakeview3 at 6:58 pm, Mon 16 Aug lakeview3 - 2021-08-16 18:46:00 |

If they are used to them. We've never had one and our kid is not bothered by them (if we stay somewhere with a bath). blands70 - 2021-08-16 20:31:00 |

| 17 | Family live in retirement village,upper price bracket. Not a bath in the place and when ever a unit comes on the market it is snapped up fast so I guess a lack of a shower hasn't put anyone off. Put your money into a decent sized shower,1200 x 900 and a bidet heated toilet seat, that'll get everyone excited. hammer23 - 2021-08-16 23:24:00 |

Of course there won't be a bath in a retirement village, too hard for the elderly, especially those with health problems or crook joints, to get in and out of and staff would be running around to help too often. There comes a time when even we bath lovers might have to adapt to showers, old age/illness causes many problems. Many villages do have a gym and our local one, a massive new place, does have a pool as well for the fitter residents. I think there is also a spa pool from what I was told.

| 19 | I'd much rather have a decent shower and vanity (especially in an apartment which is unlikely to be housing a family). scarlettnz - 2021-08-18 12:56:00 |
| 20 | Bath with shower over it for me. And a shower curtain so don't have to faf around with cleaning the glass. I hate being cooped up in a shower cubicle. I also couldn't live without a bath. People don't know how to relax these days. mndy1 - 2021-09-13 14:14:00 |

| 22 | But whats the cost in removing a bath and installing a standard shower as my friend should have it done? boby11 - 2021-09-13 16:14:00 |
| 23 | As it is not a family home by all means go ahead and do a shower and vanity. I have to admit the first thing I would do is put a bath in a place however I love my relaxing baths complete with bubbles, glass of wine etc. strathview - 2021-09-13 18:26:00 |
| 24 | I love a bath if I stay somewhere with one but never use the one in my own house - takes too long, too much water - waste of time, etc. Baths are handy if you’re trying to bath kids especially if more than one. If my dog hates the bath so he gets showered too. sarahb5 - 2021-09-26 22:24:00 |

| 28 | In an apartment I'd just go for a luxurious large tiled shower. In our house we have a separate shower and bath and I've hardly ever used the bath. I hate showers over baths and the fact they are separate is one of the reasons we bought this house. pipdg - 2021-09-29 20:07:00 |
| 29 | Keep the bath. People may move in that have young children, they usually prefer a bath. It also gives more options when you go to sell. I only have a shower but would like to have a bath as well. meme6 - 2021-09-29 20:23:00 |
