Should replace your bath with a shower?

Should replace your bath with a shower?

By Benjamin Clarke | Published on 24th August 2021

If you are renovating or upgrading your bathroom, then one of the key decisions you could well be thinking about is whether to remove the bath, install a shower or have both. It's a big decision with things like water usage, comfort, space and speed all needing to be factored in to the equation.

In this article we'll look at the pros and cons of the bath vs shower debate to help you make an informed decision and get the most out of your bathroom.

Bath only

There's not many things in this world than having a nice relaxing soak in the tub. Many will attest to the fact that laying back in a warm bath de-stresses them physically, mentally and emotionally.

From an aesthetic point of view, a stunning freestanding bath in a traditional bathroom is one of the most fantastic sights in interior design. If you look through any magazine, Instagram feed or design website, some of the most amazing and popular photos include bathrooms with freestanding tubs.

If you are redoing your bathroom with an eye on selling your home in the future, ensuring you continue to have a bath will be an extra attraction for any future buyers. While it might have minimal impact on the value of your home, potential buyers will always prefer to have a bathroom with a bath rather than without.

Shower only

It could be the case that your main family bathroom is fairly small and would benefit from the extra space gained from only having a shower cubicle.

People who convert their bathrooms to a wet-room will usually have a shower rather than a bath and enjoy the extra space and lower maintenance it brings.

For many people who have busy lives, there simply isn't time to spend ages in a bath, so a shower is a quick and effective way of washing yourself without the lengthy wait of filling up a bath.

Showers can also be very luxurious and you don't have miss out on pampering yourself just because you don't have a bath. Body jets and cascading showers are just two of the options that allow showers to give you that feeling of indulgence.

Best of both

Ultimately, the ideal situation would to have a bath and a shower in your bathroom, so you've got the choice of exactly what you want when you feel like it.

If you don't have space for a separate bath and shower cubicle, then you should consider P and L shaped baths that combine the two.

P shaped whirlpool baths are ideal when you are looking to be pampered but need to keep an eye on practicality. The unique shape allows you to stretch out in comfort but provides the perfect amount of room for a shower too. 

Likewise, all of the L shaped whirlpool baths in our range come with a jet system in the tub as standard (the number of jets varies dependant on the size and type of tub you want).

This is a great bath for a family home, especially one where everyone loves having the versatility of a shower and bath (and it can become a bit of a jungle trying to get in there first thing in the morning).

The reason for the unique L cubed end is to afford yourself a little more room when having a shower. Many people don’t realise that they’re giving up space (width-wise) when they have a shower installed in their bath. That’s why even just the extra few inches makes all the difference.

These bathtubs also have a deluxe shower screen included so you don’t have to worry about unnecessary splashing on the bathroom floor.
