Take that thing out of the corner and change the curtain. Depending on how long the thing has been there you may need to redo the ceiling and wall where it has been standing.

Perhaps it I me but having two ceiling lights next to each other which you would have when the wall is removed would look a little strange. Think about having one long light or two similar lights when you remove the wall.

Agree with Lars.

Freshen up the bath - don't remove the tub or remove the wall. Changing the vanity and lighting, fresh paint, remove the shower/tub caddy, are all worthwhile changes to update the bathroom at very little expense. If you remove the tub and install a shower you begin down the road of throwing away $$ you won't get back in your sale. Let the buyer make the changes they want to make for their new home. If you freshen up the bath, then the buyer can take their time with changes and you end up netting more.

BTW, I'm a fan of just showers and no tub but replacing the tub just before selling is going to cost you more than you make on the change (eg if it cost $20k to replace the tub with a shower you might get back 50% to 70% of what you spent). https://www.cheatsheet.com/money-career/these-15-home-renovations-have-the-highest-return-on-investment.html/

Agree with Lars and Denita

Would you rehang doors there or leave the openings?

Door for the w/c. Not all that important for the shower area if there are too many doors for the space.

I assume you have a door for the whole bath, right? So if someone is using the shower the spouse can use the w/c if absolutely necessary.

Clean like you have never cleaned before, after you fix it up.

We had our tub pulled out and had a walk in shower put in. We love it! But, we are in our 70's and planning to live here as long as possible.

I kept telling DH when we bought this place that I wanted to rip out the tub, but his excuse was that he likes to take a bath sometimes! So, for 20 years we have had a tub. Finally he decided that we needed the walk in shower. It cost us $10,000 and worth every penny. The bathroom had white 4" x 4" tiles 3/4 of the way up the wall. They had to replace all that dry wall and did a great job. Replaced everything except the toilet.

BTW, the only people to use that tub in 20 years were grand babies! Never DH!

Do you know if the wall between the tub and toilette is a structural wall? Would you have to relocate any venting, wiring, etc that’s In that wall? Although separate toilette rooms are often put into LARGE bathrooms, and some people like them, I find them somewhat claustrophobic - so, I would like the wall removed if I was the buyer. Is this the only bathroom in the house so that somebody may have to use this toilet even if someone else is in the shower? Our RE agent recently told us that we had to put a bathtub in our new build for resale value — so if this is the only tub, I suggest you leave it. What colors are you putting in for the new vanity and floors? Can you inexpensively change the tub surround to put in something more up to date?

mtpo, did your agent specify that you needed a tub somewhere in the house or did s/he say it needs to be in the Master bath only?

She only said there needs to be one in the house. Typically, I think young families use the tub to bathe kids. Our architect’s design had the tub in our Jack and Jill Bathroom. We’re long past raising kids and thought a shower would be more useful there for occasional guests. Instead, I put a soaking tub (no jets) in another bathroom (the one adjoining the bedroom I plan to use when DH’s snoring drives me crazy...my escape room!) (we have 4 BRs and 3 bathrooms on the 2d floor — overkill, but that’s a story for another day). . Our situation is a bit out of the ordinary as this is our aging in place home and we put a 8’ x 5’ wheelchair accessible shower in the master bathroom. That left no room for a tub there too.

The trend here in my area is to do away with tubs as only a small portion of the market uses them (typically small/young children). That's why I asked if she specified where the tub should be located. I think you put it in the right spot based on your description above. Putting in a wheelchair accessible shower in the master bath was genius.

I lived in Japan for a while when ex-DH was in the military. We lived off base in a wonderful house (could have been in a movie — tatami mats, paper screens) that had a little room that was completely tiled — the shower part was next to the tub rather than in the tub. That way, you shower first and then, when you are all clean, you get into a nice hot tub to soak. It’s nice that someone that wants to shower can do so without getting into the tub (a safety issue for some). The bathroom suite was set up a little like yours with a separate toilette room, separate bath/shower room and separate vanity area. It was the only bathroom in the house.

I think having to climb into a tub to take a shower is a safety issue. It’s also harder on the back to scrub down a tub than to clean a shower that has a nice long spray arm..

A few other ideas... perhaps just leave a 42” high capped wall next to the toilet that only extends about 36” or so from the back wall? Semi-privacy?

Light colors and lots of light. Bulbs are usually better if in the 3000K x 3500K range in the bathroom to make people look healthier.

(blue (“daylight “) in the higher K numbers makes me look gray and sick). I put 2 recessed wet-rated lights in our big Master shower and lots of other light in the room. Better to have too much light with a dimmer switch than not enough light. Bathrooms are almost always under-lit. Lighting and paint color make a big difference on a buyer’s first impression and have relatively little cost. Whatever color you pick for the walls can also impact the light color that is reflected on the skin and hair. IMHO — no green walls! 🤮
