New Bathroom design
Discussion
I run a building company and I specialise in the accessible market. Eg extensions Ramps wet rooms etc.
In yr case keep a bath. Everyone needs a bath because if yr a family you need to bathe children. I say this because you mention selling it. Women love baths. Fact !
My personal view to the shower picture posted is its a lazy job because it's a terribly high tray. Thus you limit that showers use to a massive spectrum of potential users. Unless it had a horribly high int stack and the customer didn't want to pay for pumping the waste.
I'd avoid bath store etc. I've looked at their gear and it's poor quality.
Use a website like check a trade . Com and get some free surveys , quotes etc from a professional.
Kids etc at b & q are not the way forward for bathrooms.
I spend a lot of time pulling fairly new bathrooms apart done via chains and appalling sub contractors.

I've managed without one for 8 years. And I bought from a deceased pensioner.The only time a bath would be useful to me is when the boiler (and therefore shower) breaks and I can't get it fixed same day. All the hot water runs from the boiler so if it's down it's kettles in the basin time. A bath would be slightly easier. But it's happened twice in 8 years so I think I'll stick with the extra space.

I could see me moving on in the next few years so I dont want to spend a fortune and I dont want a design that is undesirable to a potential buyer,
Likewise us but it's £500 to get a bath put in so we went with what we want, not what a buyer will want. If needs be we will put it in m before we sell.EOD how much do you do now for a possible future problem? Whereas you might get a buyer like me who will go - awesome, amazing shower

Perhaps not as high as it looks. There's a lot of shadow there, the plinth is just 90mm high and there was no way of getting the waste out within the budget.In yr case keep a bath.

Interestingly too, this was upstairs in a recently retired persons house. Their plan is to get carried out in a box, and therefore looking ahead, chose to not have a bath. Different people want different things I suppose, but as I said earlier, I'm seeing a lot of people doing exactly what this client did for themselves irrespective of resale. We always intend to get a tray on the floor where possible, but it's not always a viable option.
