Shower Vs Bath

Lakeland · 27 Mar 2011 at 23:02

Not in terms of which you prefer, but what do you want in your house?

Personally I don't get on with baths, they take too long, take up more room, they are not as clean and at 6ft with broad shoulders I don't fit very well.

I'd like to get rid of my bath completly but I don't want to devalue my house because people prefer a bath. Would buying a house with no bath put you off buying?

Shower.

Even though I prefer showers to baths I'd expect a bath in any house I was purchasing.

I'd expect a bath in most houses and even if i prefer showers i'd still want one just in case.

i shower majority of the time, i only tend to have a bath when the missus has run one and i need a shower so i get in with her. Women = bath, so if a woman is likely to live in it then you might as well leave it

I don't see the point of baths so would prefer a house without a bath. Shower always!

i prefer shower with the option of a bath.

I sometimes sit in the bath, with the shower on.

Oops, to answer the thread, Id want both.

I prefer showers.. don't really get on with baths as I don't fit either

I'd still like to have a bath, as they can be handy - cleaning a dog or something..

Shower.

Although I don't get why British people seem to like showering in those tiny boxes.

I mean why limit yourself to a vertical coffin? Wet rooms F.T.W.

Gotta have both, I prefer a shower but wouldn't like to live without a bath in the house also.

100% Shower, Although a house isn't quite yet a house without a bath in place

Shower, always. I can't stand baths, sitting in a putrid puddle of luke warm water....no thank you.

Unless you have a very expensive house with a mahoosive bathroom then most wet rooms jsut turn into vertical coffins for fat people

or perhaps i haven't seen the right wet rooms!

I don't like all this talk of comparing showers with coffins though, personally i don't wish to be buried in a shower cubical

A house needs both.

Shower

What he says.

I think you would only get away with a shower only in a small flat from a point of view of not impacting the value of the property, as not having a bath would be a turn off for a lot of people, especially with small kids.

Morning before work/college = Shower
After jogging = Bath

I'd definitely expect both/combi
