    since my new kitchen is spectacular I want to redo the bathroom

    the bathroom is quite mordern as it was done up to sell the flat when I bought it.

    However I don't like it and I would like to remove the bathtub and replace it with walk in shower..

    However will removing the bathtub be a problem when I am selling it. I don't know if people are touchy about bathtubs.

    Just signed off on my new kitchen Quick question, did you leave your builder with key whilst the work was being done?

    I did, No issues at all really, No leaving windows or doors open that sort of thing after he left.
    I did wonder sometimes what he actually did some days but I am pretty sure he did most of it the last few days he was there.

    Microwave dinners for weeks were not so fun.

    Yeah, can't say I'm looking forward to that. Rather hoping the in-laws go to Portugal and we'll just stay at theirs. Builder reckons it'll take 3 weeks, I'm working to 4 weeks

    yeah mine was 3 weeks, I told him I was going on holiday on a certain day to get him to finish sharpish.
    Then I regretted instantly telling him this as he would know the flat would have been empty. But nothing happened whilst I was away.

    I fúcked my bathtub out the window when I had my bathroom redone. I hadn't had a bath since we moved in four years ago, so what was the point?
    Some people might be funny about it, I suppose, but only the ones who like wallowing naked in their own feculence.

    Exactly. I never used the bath. I had the thought of doing it once but got bored running the water after 30 seconds and took a shower.

    Now it was quite alarming on how many places I saw that didn't even have proper showers (a mixer tap with a short shower head that doesn't even reach head height) when I went flat hunting.
    So I wondered if it was perhaps an Essex thing.

    Are you planning on having kids any time soon? If so, keep the bath.

    It's depressingly common. One of the first things we did when we moved in was install a proper power shower. The flat I lived in for a year only had a mixer tap shower (unusually it worked quite well) and had no hook for it or shower curtain. I had to install these things myself (I didn't ask permission, but since I was actually improving their property they didn't complain).

    Don't people generally rip the **** out of everything when they buy a new place? Someone who wants a bath is probably not going to be bothered about having to put one in...
