Bathtub - yes or no??

11 years ago

We are planning on remodeling our daughters' bathroom. Their bathroom has a tub/shower combo. We are debating on whether or not to get rid of their tub, and install a walk in shower instead. Our master bath only has a walk in shower. We never really use the tub anymore, since our kids are older and we don't have any plans of ever moving from this home. We're not sure if getting rid of the only bathtub in the house would be a good idea? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Keep the tub

Get rid of the tub and install a walk in shower

Hate my tub. Unless you have small children get rid of it.

If you think you might sell in the future, keep the tub.

If this will be your forever home then design it how you want it. Just know that if you do have to sell it then that will be a factor for resell value. If this is your forever home don't worry about it and do what is best for your family not for someone that will have the house after you are long gone.
