In your residence, do you have a bathtub, and if so, do you shower more often than you bathe?

    We have a bath tub, but I shower only. Here are our shower and bath tub.

    I have a bathtub, but I only shower.  When I redid my bathroom, I put in a new tub, but it isn't as high as the old one and when it's full, I am not completely submerged like I was.  As a result, I no longer enjoy relaxing in a warm tub because too much of me is not under water.

    The water will be all over the floor before you know it.

  • Yep, there is a bathtub here. I rarely use it, but sometimes I am in the mood for something a bit more relaxing and luxurious than a shower.

    This residence has a walk-in bathtub.  I had it installed for my dad when he was having trouble using the other shower (pain from cancer).  He never got the chance to use it, and I prefer showers.

    You can add a shower to a walk-in tub.  When I renovated I thought about putting a walk-in tub in the back bathroom but then I learned that a bathtub can easily be converted to a walk-in shower by cutting a step-through on the side of the tub.  There is a vinyl product to use to finish the cut to make it look nice.  I decided that, along with a hand shower and seat should be fine for us as we age.

    It's a shower as well (even has sauna jets).  I'm not to the point where I need to sit to shower or bathe (maybe in 20 years or so).

    I'm not either but bathrooms are expensive and when I did these I kept in mind that I might live here the rest of my life.

    I have only one bathroom and when I remodeled it, I removed the tub and have a big walk-in shower instead.

      Randall D, ever the stickler for detail, copiously jotted down this new bit of information in his ‘Operation Tame Jane’ dossier . . .

    I have two full baths with tub/showers.  I was thinking about a walk-in tub when I remodeled but didn't go there.  Now I learned about converting tub to walk-in shower and will do that when we need to.  

    Trouble stepping over your tub?

    I really hate cleaning the tub, and you still have to do that.

      Baby!  I can drop by and clean it for you!  We should arrange a schedule!  How does five times a week sound to you?  Imagine having me there to draw your bath and scrub your back.  Heck, why would I even have to leave?  Put me up in your spare room, and I can be there 24/7 to wait on you hand and foot. Speaking of which, I have great technique for foot massages, toesies are my specialty. (All free of charge, of course.)

    The reason I didn't have walk-in tiled showers when I renovated because I hate cleaning shower floors.  To me, keeping the tub  clean is a breeze.  Seriously....spray on professional Scrubbing bubbles, waits five minutes and wipe it off.  Shower floors are always grungy it seems.  Anyway, perspective is everything. :)
