Its a crazy idea having this combined, someone did that a while back and they said it's the worst decision they made.

Good luck

I agree but lot of the new modern styles have freestanding tub in the wet area. But in my case I was thinking aesthetics will look stunning.. and if I add a shower curtain separation between both that should protect the tub from everyday shower

Bad for resale, and a waste of money. .

Life doesn’t work that way

Just no.

Sorry, but Horrible idea. Splash and soap scum always on the tub. How do you clean the back corners behind the tub. I would never want to buy a house with that set up. Nix the tub and build a seat and add a hand held sprayer with volume and temperature control by the seat.

So it is better to keep the tub outside the wet area and build a shower enclosure to keep it separate.. ? our kids love the tub.. but would use it only once a week

Do you have a tub in the master bath you could use to bath the kids? Small kids grow quickly and since they only use it 1x per week, the guest bath tub may become unneeded real quick. Most people are tearing out their guest bath tubs and building freestanding showers, especially when they have another tub in the home, ie: in the master bath.

I wouldnt like it either. If you have another tub, elsewhere in the house, I would just put in the shower.

Based on your two posts, you need to put a stop to this project now. You need more qualified professional involvement. Starting with Design. And certainly with the Build portion. This is a very expensive project to have already gone so sideways.

"But in my case I was thinking aesthetics will look stunning.. and if I add a shower curtain separation between both"

So you think adding a jerry-rigged shower curtain will be aesthetically pleasing?

dianeskiI already have a large standing shower in Master with bench and this tub will be in the guest shower. I didn't want to have a drop in which is more permanent to have it knocked off.. If it is freestanding once my kids grow out i can get rid of the tub and make it a large guest shower. But based on you guys feedback.. i'm thinking about going with a tub outside shower enclosure.

Now that you got some feedback, check with your architect/ designer to help you with a layout that addresses your concerns and meets your family’s needs.

You wrote “ if it is freestanding, once my kids grow out i can get rid of the tub and make it a large guest shower.“

I would make my husband put that in writing so he would not forget his commitment. 🤣

If the kids are only using the tub 1x week, then they don’t need it anymore.
