Bath or Shower

Bath with a shower, if you just get a shower you'll put potentially buyers. Especially those with a young family

Yep fully agree:D

If i was going to buy a house i'd want a shower and bath.

My biggest regret in renting my current flat is the lack of bath...so much so i keep having occasional nights in hotels just to use the bath (well for gigs too..but i've turned down nights out so i could go back to my hotel and have a bath!)

My parents had a new bathroom in and it irks the hell out of me that they won't let me use the bath. The other year the excuse was it leaked (??) and last years excuse was it uses too much water.:wall:

i hardly use the bath, even the kids (3 and 6) love having a shower, but now my boiler is broke and cant get much hot water out of it before it goes cold again, i proper miss having a nice hot soak in the bath

We stayed in a nice hotel over the weekend and after checking out the pool, i jumped straight into a gorgeous hot bubbly bath

It depends on the size of the room - have been looking at property recently and a lot of have tiny bathrooms with a bath crammed in & taking up too much space for something that might get used once or twice a year. In an ideal world - both is nice but I'd have no problems with a place that had a good shower and no bath.

Similar issue althought slightly different - both myself and my partner only take showers, and if it was only up to us, we would definitely get rid of the bath. However we have a baby arriving in July, and all the advise we get is that you need a bath for children. What are your thoughts?

Probably depends on the size of your child! We have no choice, we rent a house where the bath has been stripped out and the bathroom converted to a wet-room. Our son is 3.5 years old but only the size of a 2-year-old, and he still sits in a baby bath on the floor of the wet-room; I use the shower head to fill the baby bath. I'm slowly getting him used to the idea of water coming from the shower head so that he can transition to having showers in the next six months. (PS. I used a moses basket stand for the baby bath so it stood higher up until he got mobile.)

I wouldn't buy a house without a bath, I even try to choose chalets with a bath over caravans with a shower when we go on holiday. If we end up with one with a shower I take a plug and fill the tray and sit in it :eek:

A shower is for a quick all over wash at any time. A bath is great with your latest book, candles lit, glass of wine and some music playing in the other room.

Obviously being sensible with the candles and not have them near blinds, towels etc...

I am the only person who could never have a bath in a hotel because of my OCD type thoughts about the amount of people who've been in that bath & how clean it might be?

I don't even like standing in showers in hotels because I don't like my feet touching the tray or bath because of that reason. I think I have a problem :rotfl:

I take flash wipes to clean the toilet and shower.. and strip the bed to check how clean it is.. I don't even do this at home!!!

I don't go swimming because you wouldn't get in the bath with strangers and the thought of being in water with old men and their wrinkly todgers makes me want to be sick.. what if they 'leak'? then there are the body hair, bogies, and other functions which are perfectly normal, we all do it.. I just don't want to wallow in other peoples thank you!

I know I have a problem
