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?

    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks 
    • Without doubt a busy road with constant traffic - but can always put in double glazing. If you have a car, don’t expect to park right outside - prob further away but with walking distance. Agree with PeckhamNicola re train times and freight but at least not wizzing by every few minutes! Sorry but little experience in state schools - obviously you have plenty of private - Jags Dulwich College, Alleyns. Judith Kerr on Half Moon Lane - good rep - no idea whether secondary or primary  - think primary. Also Charter School North - good reputation and Ark Evelyn - no idea! You might also look at West Dulwichand Crystal Palace Schools. Try Harris Academy as well. All the best.
