Master bath small shower + tub or no tub?
Comments (27)Well, phooey. I taped it out in the bathroom with blue tape last night and it looked like it would fit, but with too many nos, I'm back to the drawing board. Interesting thought, Vix. Right now we don't actually have a toilet room, so much as a separate toilet "area" (there's no door, and the closet takes up too much room to add a door), but it's on my agenda to create one. In our house, it's very necessary. I generally use that bathroom to try to FIND privacy, only to have 3 people (and sometimes the dog) follow me into the bathroom. I'm looking forward to having a door that locks and a fan so that I don't have two little people handing me the TP and asking whether I'm doing number 1 or 2 (oh, and the 1 year old likes to flush while I'm ON the pot; so I've got my own special cold water washlet), while DH decides that he absolutely has to shave and brush his teeth at that exact moment. Now if I take a hike to the guest bath on the other side of the house, all three just follow me AGAIN. Sometimes when I have insisted on locking the door in the guest bath (no way to do that with our LOUVERED -- why??? -- pocket door in the master), my one year old plopped down prostrate outside the door and cried until I open the door. For my W/C, I want to put in a LOUD fan; no whisper quiet for me. Maybe I'll even add a radio. :) The way I'm seeing it, I can either get rid of the long vanity altogether and live with a fairly small vanity, plus a tub and shower, I can skip the tub and live with the kids' bathroom on the third level as the only room with a tub, or we can bump out that weird corner jog, which would give us an additional 49'' X 27'' space -- enough to fit a 5X3 tub, 5X3 shower and keep the two vanities. But that sounds very expensive and will require carefully removing and replacing the siding to match the existing. DH's response to all this was "why do we need a tub?"...See More30' wide tub!
Comments (17)You may have already moved forward with your remodel, but I wanted to say I completely understand what you were going through trying to find a good looking 30" tub. I was about to give up myself when I lucked into finding the Exhibit 60x30 (IFS) tub from MAAX Professional. It's a great looking acrylic tub, with an integral flange to ensure water never leaks out around the seams. It's also 18" high, which should meet your height requirement. The price was quite reasonable too. Ours just was installed last week and so far we couldn't be happier. It may be a bit tough to find, particularly on the east coast (my Ferguson store just started carrying it the month I ordered it), but I think it's worth the search. I find it looks much better than anything else I've seen in the price range for a 30" tub. Here is a link that might be useful: MAAX Exhibit 60x30 IFS...See MoreNeed 60x32 tub for kids shower/bath
Comments (3)I dont have any experience with their tubs but I've used Maax shower doors in several condos. For the money you are spending on the tub ($600+) you should consider getting a whirpool. I am looking to install one and it retails for $649 @ Lowes (Jacuzzi Primo 60x32). For $50 more you get a lot more bang for your buck. I wanted to get a bigger one but unfortunately 72 inch models are all either 36 or 42 inches wide. This would not work in the condo due to toilet drain being too close and local code has rules against it. My 2 cents...See MoreHow many inches tile shows outside from the edge of bathtub? Need help
Comments (7)I finally figured out what you're asking! You mean the wall tile above the tub where it extends out into the room. In our old house we had a natural stopping spot near the door frame, which is pretty common. About 4-6"? The other end also stopped at a natural place-the end of the wall. If you don't have some sort of natural "end," I think 8" is about as far as you want to go, but as far as I know there aren't any rules about this - whatever looks good. I vaguely recall looking up this exact question at the time (2011) and finding pretty much this same answer....See Morewilliamsem
