You have to decide if you’re gutting or not, before we can offer design ideas.

If you resell,
You probably want to ask a local realtor if it’ll add enough value to gut.
You also want to consider the rest of the home.
I personally wouldn’t need a brand new, fully glammed bathroom if the rest of the house was in the same era/ condition as the bathroom is right now.
I’d prefer a cohesive home rather than an updated bathroom and an older kitchen…
Does that make sense?

I do like the floor tile, and think it’s workable. But it’s your decision if you want to start over or not.

It’s probably a full gut job. Find out what it will cost you and assess the money/time/aggravation of redoing a bathroom if you are thinking of selling.

As stated already, decision depends on budget, what the rest of home looks like update wise & your current plan for length of time you’ll stay in this home. You could change the look & feel of this bath with a frameless glass shower surround, new drop in tub - skip the jacuzzi, new counter top, mirror, lighting, cabinet hardware & fixtures. This leaves current cabinets & all tile in place & they do appear to be in good shape.

I agree with KW^^^

That’s assuming the shower tile is in good shape.

@Lois
If you think you may be moving in a couple years, just leave it for the next person. They'll enjoy thinking they are so smart by replacing the shower and tub. Meanwhile, you can focus on remodeling your new place...much more fun!
If you decide to stay, I'm looking at your "bathrooms" idea book, and it looks to me like you are heading towards gutting yours. You like a different cabinet style now, and it looks like you are drawn towards some changes around function too. I suggest adding a bathroom floorplan to your original post to get real creativity going. And then tell us about your overall home design to ensure cohesiveness.

Regarding the free-standing bathtub vs the alcove bathtub, you like the function of the alcove. To get that same function in a freestanding, you'll be told to add little tables/stools or a narrow shelf on the back wall. Those will add to the already increased cleaning challenge. I vote function before form and keeping the alcove tub, maybe even adding to the privacy by building out walls. When you are enjoying your tub, is the bathroom yours or can someone walk in to use the toilet? Break the mood?

No problem, cliffordhome! Thanks for your comments and suggestions everyone. We have gotten a professional itemized quote and waiting on another. It was more $$ than we thought, and IF we sell within 2 years it might not make sense. At the very least, I feel like we need to spruce up the shower tile and pan just to sell. It’s a 27 year old home and the shower pan doesn’t even come clean anymore it is stained. Your comments have confirmed keeping a drop in/alcove tub. Function over form is better than what’s trendy for me anyway. Who wants to clean more floor around tight spots? In response to HU-187528210, I do understand what you’re saying. Our kitchen has original cabinets, has updated granite countertops, but overall, kitchen is dated. Your comment really makes sense.

@Lois Might be $$ to ”spruce up tile & shower pan…” too. If you replace shower tile it won’t match the rest of tile in bath & the wall / waterproofing will need replacing. My bet is a shower pan can’t be replaced without damage to wall waterproofing either but I could be wrong. Is that a fiberglass pan? You could have it refinished to improve the appearance & extend the life a few years. The shower tile could be regrouted too with matching grout. That would make it worth replacing the shower glass - take it off before regrouting tile & refinishing pan. Replace hardware, counter & sinks on cabinet & you have medium cost face lift to enjoy for yourselves until you sell in a couple of years.

I wouldn't fix a thing for just style. Focus on anything that's not functioning instead.
