Does anyone regret having a bath replaced with walk in shower

When we redid our small bathroom we got rid of the bath in favour of a walk in shower. DH has never liked showers so we kept the bath in his en suite and have a bath lift which lowers him into the water in a very stately fashion. We bought this after he got stuck in the bath and getting him out gave me a bad back for weeks. As Charleygirl says, if it knocks a bit off the value of the house hard luck - we have a set up which works for us, much more important.

My Aunt does regret it,it also devalued the house price too.

I have a bath and a walk in shower in the ensuite. I only use the bath for hanging washing!

No problems with running off a combi boiler at all.

My mil got stuck in the bath -twice! Once the neighbour had to come and help and the second time he refused, so it was the fire brigade?.

Baths do have important place in homes where there are young children. Also, for many older people who need to be able to actually soak in the hot water.
I had my ileostomy over thirty years ago, occasionally do have blockage and then one of my ways of coping with this is good soak in hot bath. And, again if I get home in the winter feeling chilled , nothing like a warm bath to deal with that.
I love my shower also, have this in my en-suite. But when I had my bathroom redone recently insisted on a bath with a shower over.
All of these run from my combi-boiler. Only time ever any problems is if I am actually in the shower when the heating switches itself on in the morning. I just keep clear of that few minutes.
Cannot understand people saying they are unable to use their baths due to medical conditions. There are so many wonderful aids that can be used to assist this.
Yes, it definitely does lower the price of property if there is no bath installed.
There are baths out there with small doorways at the shower end, to allow easy and safe entry.

I had little choice- I could no longer get in and out of a bath safely so I had to get rid of my bath and I have had a superb shower for 11+ years. There may well be problems selling the house but it will not be my problem! I had no choice.

I have solar panels which heat my water and on a few consecutive dull days I would switch the water on for under 30 minutes,

Make sure you buy a shower large enough for your requirements, some are really dinky.

We had a bath with a shower, bathroom needed a re vamp . Had enough room for a walk in shower, still have a bath - never used! Love the walk in shower , no regrets at all . Walk in quick shower , out and dressed . Perfect , don't think you will regret it.

We decided to have a walk in shower because when my mum stayed, she couldn’t cope with the bath. Best thing we ever did. The bath’s still there for a luxury soak.

I replaced bath with walk-in shower 8 yrs ago as I had two hip-replacements, never regretted it for a moment it’s much safer than struggling to get get in or out of a bath.

I have a shower over my bath but keep it only because I ve been told it takes money of selling price to not have one
I haven’t taken a bath for about 40 years ?

I find a soak in the bath soothes the pain of rheumatoid arthritis for a time. I’ve only had this condition for 3 months. I am planning to move home and will definitely give preference to a property with a bath and shower.
I only used to have a bath occasionally before this.

We have a shower that runs from the combi boiler, but it comes with a control that adjusts the temperature so that it suits the individual. I like my shower hotter than Mr Lois, and we are both happy. Any good plumber can sort that out.

No, mum could not use a bath so we converted the bathroom into a wet room that a wheelchair can be wheeled into, a plastic chair under the shower, a sealed heated floor as well.
It’s not the same as a bath but it’s much safer and much easier for any carers.

I had my bath with shower over replaced with a walk in shower five years ago when I needed a hip replacement as I knew I wouldn’t manage to get in and out of it, especially in the early weeks post op. No regrets at all and no problem with the temperature of the water coming straight from my combi boiler either. Hope that helps!
