When renovating a bath, do you need to
have a tub or is a shower good?When renovating a bathroom, whether to include a tub or just a shower depends on various factors including your personal preferences, the needs of potential future buyers, and the space available. Here are some considerations:
Personal Preference: If you or your family prefer showers and rarely use a bathtub, then installing a shower might be the best choice.
Resale Value: In terms of resale value, having at least one bathtub in the home can be important for potential buyers, especially families with young children. If the home has multiple bathrooms, it’s common to have at least one tub and the rest can be showers.
Space: The size and layout of the bathroom can influence this decision. In smaller bathrooms, a shower might be more space-efficient and make the room feel larger.
Accessibility: Showers can be more accessible than tubs, especially for older adults or people with mobility issues. Walk-in showers or those with no threshold are particularly useful in these cases.
Usage: Consider how the bathroom will be used. If it’s a master bathroom, a luxurious shower might be more desirable. For a guest or children’s bathroom, a tub might be more practical.
Trends: Current trends in bathroom design can also influence your decision. While standalone showers are popular, especially in modern and minimalist designs, having a bathtub can be a luxurious feature, particularly if it’s a freestanding tub.
Ultimately, the best choice will depend on your specific situation and priorities. If resale value is a concern, maintaining at least one bathtub in the house is generally advisable.
