Has anyone on here had a bathroom revamp and decided against having a bath?


I'm really undecided, but never take a bath! (the waste of water mainly)

If you have done this and regretted it tell me why?


The room is small with no window and I think it could look great with the right builder, but I want opinions

I redid my bathroom 5yrs ago, to provide my first ever shower !

I also made provision for a Bath, a lovely roll top claw feet number.

Thing is, I haven?t plumbed the Bath in yet, and that?s after being a Bath-fiend all my life 🤣

Would only take a day or so (need to get through 9? wall and fit the waste pipes etc).

So baths not essential IMO.

We are lucky to have a downstairs shower room and loo, upstairs bathroom has a bath which has not been used for about 10 years plus. Hubby and I have difficulty with arthritis in legs and hips to actually get in bath We have a bath seat which has never been used. I was advised many years ago by my GP to avoid baths as they aggregated my skin which was prone to rashes. Since having a shower, I have not had a repeat of this skin condition - I tell people that I have not had a bath for over 30 years!

We?ve got a ?bathless? shower room. It?s got a loo, and a basin + a nice walk in shower. It?s great!


The other bathroom has a bath, but I only ever use it to shower in. However, baby boy is only 10 months, so it?s great for him. Other than that, no bath? No problemo!


Are you thinking of selling anytime in the future?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
