It's hard to give ideas unless we know a little bit of what your goals are. Is there something that's not working for you/you don't like currently?

We don’t have much need for a tub we are trying to update the bathroom making it look more modern. Current layout feels a little crammed. We rather have a larger shower than a tub at all.

If you are ready to gut the space than go for it!!
You can do a large shower on the back end by the window.

And then move both vanities to the current shower area.

Or maybe another spot- but can’t really see where. Post a floorplan for more options.

You can also try to keep the shower, or maybe shrink it some, and do a sauna. Just a cool thought.

You have plumbing in the right areas. So I think this space has a lot of potential!!!

Or maybe you can do a shower/ tub combo.
Aka wet room.

So many cool options.

:)

If you post a drawing on graph paper with measurements you’ll get more help with layout. Do you have an idea of budget?

Can we avoid the polite police if a poster finds an answer rude they have the only right to complain it is not our job to give advice on proper behavior. As for this bathroom IMO the OP needs to get some pro help to do this right. If they want any help from us they need to post a to scale floor plan of the empty bathroom showing windows , doorways where the doorways lead and where the plumbing is if it is not able to be moved .This bathroom has great potentil but we also need to have a clue about budget and as mentioned what they really want from the space .

My first thoughts would be to replace tub with a large shower ( I love them ) & extend vanity & add another sink in existing shower area, but with no floorplan difficult to tell. iI would contact a well reviewed or recommended contractor or or designer for input.

And yes, almost every question on this site probably qualifies as a ” first world problem” so need to point that out!

Hi John,

A few questions…
Other than the tub, what don’t you like about your current bathroom?

Sorry! Wasn’t done.
What do you need/want in your new bathroom? More storage? Easy care? Age in place?
How long do you plan to live there? Which leads into- what is your budget and is it appropriate for your home?
One more comment. Do you have other tubs in your home? Eliminating the only tub is generally not great for resale.

Hi John, love a good bathroom remodel. You have so much potential with this great space. I tend to see your current layout in a lot of homes built in the early 2000’s mainly 2001. What I would do is get rid of the tub and put a nice big shower like this one.

Here are just a few of the bathrooms we have done over the years. Please consider posting a floor plan and also what you would like in the bathroom. Do you want two sinks? No tub? A makeup area?
