Bathroom Renovation Dilemma
So we have just ripped out our old dated family bathroom. It isn't the biggest room in the world and we have limited options.
Option 1 Replace like for like. 1500 bath, 800 square shower and 1200 vanity. Option 2 To get a bigger bath, 1800 shower bath with shower over and keep 1200 vanity. Option 3 Move shower cubicle to other side of room which means bigger shower, keep 1500 bath in same place which only leaves 750/800 max for a vanity. If you were buying a house would a small vanity put you off in the family bathroom or would the larger shower and bath be the more attractive options. Views and opinions would be much appreciated. Really struggling with this and we are on a limited timescale as my Dad arrives in 9 weeks :eek::eek::eek: |
Re: Bathroom Renovation Dilemma
I like the shower over the bath option. Just my humble opinion though.

Re: Bathroom Renovation Dilemma
Personally, I'd go for the bigger shower - shower over a bath is shite.
We recently put a huge shower in our en-suite and got rid of the bath. Love it. |

Re: Bathroom Renovation Dilemma
So obviously the smaller vanity wouldn't bother you both.

Re: Bathroom Renovation Dilemma
Option 1 or 3 - definitely not 2. I hate a shower over a bath

We have a bath in the downstairs bathroom. I hate taking a bath, my wife uses it a lot though.
I'm with you wife. Nothing like a good bath, with a book and a glass of wine ( or a bottle lol) |

Re: Bathroom Renovation Dilemma
Wouldn't worry about the vanity. Showers over baths are bleugh. Large shower, reasonable sized bath.

Re: Bathroom Renovation Dilemma
If vanity = sink , then I reckon the answer is definitely spend less on the sink, more on the other items.
As a bloke, I have practically zero inclination to take a bath. I don't find it "relaxing" at all. Instead I'd rather have a quick shower, then get out of the bathroom and then relax elsewhere. option 3 all the way I reckon. |
Re: Bathroom Renovation Dilemma
Definitely option 3 for me.
Would love a huge shower and only need a vanity to wash hands/face and brush teeth. |
Re: Bathroom Renovation Dilemma
Personally, I would quite happily do without a bath. Don't like them and don't understand the 'relaxing' thing:blink:
You can do sooooooo much more in a double shower:sneaky::o But I would have 2 types of shower head. he big over head one for the relaxing rainfall effect and the moveable hand-held type for the practical cleaning stuff. Those moveable heads are so handy:blink::D But I understand if you want to keep your bath, so I would go with option 3. Is there a way you can utilise more corners to maximise the space? |
