Advice needed about tub in master bath~
Comments (18)I agree with all the previous posters that a jetted tub is more trouble than it's worth. Cleaning is tedious and time consuming. We just sold our house with one. The first thing the new owners did was replace it with a soaking tub. On the other hand, the house we've moved into while we rebuild, has only showers in both baths. Showers are okay, but I really miss having a tub! And I'm certain having no tub will hurt the resale of this house. When my parents built their retirement home, they shared your thoughts about the necessity of a tub in the master bath. And, like you, they were concerned about resale. They decided to put a nice tub in the guest bath that shared a wall with the master bath. In framing, they framed for a door between the 2 baths and covered the opening with sheetrock. The new owners will have the option of opening the master to include the tub area. With a short wall added, the former guest bath would become a powder room or a small shower could be added. If your plan allows, that might be an option....See MoreAdvice needed for tub in master bath.
Comments (19)This house will all be on ONE level....and completely handicapped accessible. My DH is an architect so is drawing the plans and his former wife (before she died) was in a wheel chair...so he is making sure there are no steps at all...even to the front door. Our house is all one level and it doesn't even have a step to the front door (or the other front door) either! The main reason we bought (overpaid) this house was its accessibility. My mother cannot walk up steps (we don't know if she has Parkinson's or some other condition but basically she can't walk very well) and we bought with the thought that she may have to move in with us one day (soon). Although we're still relatively young (47 and 49), I love the one-level living. My knees are a lot happier. The only thing I discovered about having no front step is that leaves come into the house very very easily - I guess the step prevented this from happening. FWIW, the master bathroom does not have a bathtub - it only has a shower. That really was not an issue when we saw the house....See MoreNeed Option to Replace Delta Tub Faucet W/O Same Diverter

Comments (2)Do you ever use the tub? If not, why install one at all? If there's a tub anywhere in the house, that's enough for resale concerns - make a master bath that works for the way YOU live now....See MoreRelated Professionals
