When to choose a shower only
You never use the bath, and there is another bath elsewhere in the house.
Mobility is a factor and stepping over a bath side is becoming difficult.
You want the room to feel bigger. A single large shower usually reads more spacious than two squeezed fittings.
When to keep a bath
Young children, or you plan to sell to family buyers and it is the only bathroom.
You genuinely use it. Baths removed on principle are the most common thing people say they miss.
A 1500mm or 1600mm bath fits many rooms where a 1700mm will not.
Making both fit
A shower bath with a fixed screen gives a wider showering end without a separate enclosure.
Wall-hung basins and short projection toilets free up floor space that makes both possible.
A sliding or bi-fold door removes the swing arc that often blocks the layout.
Frequently asked questions
Will removing the bath hurt resale?
Only if it leaves the property with no bath at all and the likely buyers are families.
Do shower baths actually work?
The wider P or L shaped ones do. Straight baths with a curtain rail are the version people regret.
Can you design the layout for me?
Yes. We measure and set out options at the free survey, with no obligation.
