Help me pick the best tub for showering & bathing, and tile too!

9 years ago

I will have a standard tub going in to my very small bathroom remodel. What do you all recommend for a standard fiberglass 60 X 30 tub that will be comfortable for bathing and showering. Fixtures must be on the left. I will be using a curtain not glass or enclosure. I'd like one with an attractive skirt. Does anyone do Jacuzzi tubs anymore, or are those outdated since the claims that they were unsanitary? Do they even make them in that smaller size?

Also, I'm considering using standard white subway for a classic farmhouse look. GC told e sanded grout works best. Any suggestions for tile and what color grout to use that will stay clean looking? Would you tile all the walls, to the mid-way point?

Lastly, I love the look of hex marble tiles for flooring. It will likely get wet from kids. Is this a bad choice due to maintenance? I'm looking for timeless, classic, clean looking to make the space look larger, that will be easy to keep clean. NO squeegeeing please!
