IMO if you're removing the pink shower, you should remove the pink tub altogether, not just the tile surround. You don't say how long you're planning on being in this house. If it's going to be a while, then suit yourself. If you think you will be selling before you change this bathroom again, get rid of the pink. There are probably some people who would like it, but more who don't.

First? Show the entire bath not just the tub.

Second? IF you keep anything pink in there? Paint out the orange toned woodwork trim to white.

Third? If you retain the tub? There is no point to changing the tile surround - it is a nice complement to the tub. Don't do a subway in the shower, do something a bit different. Or do a gray and white

If you LOATHE pink, rose, etc?

Rip the entire tub.: ) and its face tile as well.

First again? Show the whole bath

Pink tiles are back!

Instead of replacing the tub, save a ton of money and have it professionally reglazed.

If the wall tiles in shower are in good shape, again save the money and update the fixtures (tub’s and vanity‘s as well).

Do you use the tub and will you be updating other items, in addition to the shower. Did you get estimates and flooring will have to be redone, assuming tub will be much different. It really comes down to your budget in the end.

I had been seeing pink bathrooms were back and that site for Save the Pink Bathrooms! IMHO, the old shower insert has to go. Where this house is the water has a lot of minerals in it and you can see the mineral deposits built up along the bottom of the shower door. They don't come off. The shower is just gross and an old style plastic or fiberglass (?) insert, no tile in there at all. It has to go. Also, the wood around the window is not orange, it's natural wood, as is all the wood in the house, the sunlight and camera quality just make it look orange in these pics. I also want to redo the whole vanity area but that is secondary to getting that gross shower replaced. I have to prioritize.

Also, I plan on being here a couple of years at least, maybe 5-10? I actually sort of like the tub surrounding tiles but I really don't like the tub color itself much and to me it looked really dated, but maybe not now! Everything I've read about reglazing tubs says DON'T because then you have to redo it every few years. The curtains on the windows next to the tub will come off, yes, although I'm not sure yet what will go in their place, maybe top down blinds?

Shoe the bath! For heavens sake!

Jan, I'm not sure what you mean...what is it you want to see that isn't in the pics already?

There are plenty of photos, Jan.

I'd change the tub. Honestly, I'd take the opportunity to not only ditch the pink, which is polarizing and bossy, but to change from a jetted tub (probably full of molds you don't even want to know about) to a simple soaking tub. You'll have a plumber there anyway, and it shouldn't be a huge job.

The point is what is your dream bath if money were no object?

Whatever you spend now, is the money that takes you AWAY from the bath you would love.

It's not like you will come out of this bath, anything but clean: ) Sometimes a delay is better, depending your length of stay.

I'd add that pink, in baths, comes and goes for trends. White is forever: ) and very accommodating to all others.

IMO pretty hprrible and honestly wait until you can do this right Those jetted tubs are a source for bacteria so always IMO biz a rip out . Theyt are a vovelty that wears off very quickly . There are some new ideas without the bacteria issue if you love the jet feel. You are ripping out thw shower for gods sake rip it all out anf if not in the budhget leave it as is since the demo on the shower will ruin the wall between the two for sure Looking at those pics IMO a complete redo is in the books .

I agree that if you plan on redoing the entire space within the next 5 years, then save your money to do it right. If you don't foresee being able to do that then some quick fixes to enjoy it now would be worth it.

First, I consider refinishing the tub and going white. The pink is hard to downplay unless you plan to have a pink color scheme. You can diy, but know that this is strong stuff and definitely requires good ventilation and protective gear , or hire someone to refinish it for you.

I have a jetted tub and you do want to make sure it's good and clean before using. I use Oh, Yuk to clean it each time I use it. You'll be amazed (grossed out, really) when you see what comes out of those jets. Clean it until it's entirely clear water running through the jets.

Love the windows and sky lights in the space!

I had that tub about 14 houses ago. I paid a small fortune for it because it was Kohler cast iron. If it were a claw foot tub you'd have it refinished. Why not do that with this?

Refinish Tub Product

Is the tub ever used?

I have a been in your shoes in a home from my past. We did not have the funds to change it, so we did a few minor tweaks to make it comfortable for us to use. Until we were ready for a full reno.

I would look at your budget. Maybe do a few low budget things that might help you tolerate the space until you are ready for a full redo in 5 years.

What do you love about the bathroom? What do you hate? make a list for yourself. And make a list of the cost to change some of those things... From there pick and chose the want vs need. We all want marble but the reality is keeping what is there might be best.

Paint could do wonders.

Maybe a new light fixture from Lowes or HD

Maybe fresh towels and nice runner

Maybe some new fixtures, towel bar ..

Sometimes a small refresh can help tolerate a space until you are ready to do a full reno and it will give you time to plan your future bathroom.

Thank you all for your great comments! The house is basically empty right now since moving my dad out, so there's no rugs, towels, wall art, nothing..it's a chance to start over, but truthfully there's so many things to redo it's hard to know where to start. The tub has not been used really, no, but that's because my parents never used it. I, however, love baths and would definitely plan to use it when winter comes around again. The other factor I haven't mentioned is there's an opportunity to rent out that master suite as a separate unit, in which case it sort of needs decisions made this summer if that's going to work out. You've all given me great ideas so I'll let you know what happens!! Thank you!

good luck!
