Guest Bathroom remodel. Tub or Walk in Shower?
 

Which is better for resale value?

The Villages left a note on my door a while back that the water was to be shut off the next day for water main repairs. Fill your bathtub so you will have water to flush the toilet. Future value is quite diminished when your life is flashing before your eyes today.

Personally, would rather have the walk in shower. Only use a tub when I had cast on my arm and hard to keep it dry in a shower. Probably makes very little difference. Realtor might help you.

Good question - I would prefer to turn guest bathroom into shower only - but concerned about resale if my house has no bath tub.

Think of old age and not being able to get into a tub.
Guess bath- then if the guest wants a tub they can use their own when they go home.
Ans walk in shower

I would not own a home without a bathtub. My master bathroom has only a shower. That leaves the guest bathroom for a tub. There are a few reasons that a home should have a tub. I won't go into that now.

I would never buy a house without a tub.

dump the tub

We had the tub removed from the guest bath. We never ever used the tub.

We remodeled our master to have both a jacuzzi and a Roman shower. Took the tub out of the guest and put in another Roman shower.
Nothing better than soaking in a tub with the TV on in the master :)

Should have one tub.

Needed for younger grandchildren also.

:thumbup: :agree:

Even if you don't have younger grandchildren, a potential buyer might. In terms of resale, not having a tub might be a sticking point for some, where as, it is doubtful (IMHO) that someone would balk at buying a house because the guest bath has a tub.

GCM.

For resale a tub is better than a walk in Shower. For seniors a walk in shower is the best. It's your choice take from a master plumber of 6o years in the business..
