What impact on value of house would be if I took bath out and relaced with walk in shower?

A walk-in shower would be wonderful. I never take a bath only shower. But people with little kids like to bathe them soooo it depends who will ultimately buy your house.What impact on value of house would be if I took bath out and relaced with walk in shower?
i am not sure it will impact value but it may put people off unless you have a second bath .As much as people never use baths they still like the option so they may knock you down on price in order to replace bath.


also if they have a family they will need a bath for the kidsWhat impact on value of house would be if I took bath out and relaced with walk in shower?
Talking to an estate agent a few years ago, he told me that if a bath is removed and replaced by a shower, Bang goes the value of the house. We live in an age where people just love the tub to relax in, with lit candles %26amp; G %26amp; T


I was a plumber and when installing a bath I always positioned the taps AWAY from the wall.


When lying in the tub you are looking into the room ,and NOT into the wall..
if you have an old style bathroom suit then a walk in shower would increase the value of your home but remember to keep the whole bathroom suit matching in colour . also a good idea would be to tile the whole bathroom and fit an extractor fan for the shower steam . tiling the bathroom would be far easier and cleaner for a shower as the steam may destroy any wall paper etc .plain white is always a favourite neutral colour after all your choice of a colour tile may not be a prospective buyers choice .
Don't know about financial implications but you would alienate some of your potential buyers (people with kids, older generation and those who just want to have a soak sometimes). If it's a space thing, why not put in a compact bath with a shower over it?
well put it this way i would not be interested so you could be alienating half your potential buyers
Difficult one! People generally like a bath - certainly people with kids would think twice about buying a house without a bath as it's an important part of bedtime routine. However, if you're targeting young professionals, a walk-in shower might be just the thing to appeal to their trendy aspirations. Have a word with local estate agents about what's currently desireable in your area. Personally, I love a wallow in a bubble bath, but my hubby always has showers, so we'd be at loggerheads if we wanted your house!
It would definately interfere with the sale price - do both !! use a space saver shower bath - abs fab invention you get the both in one - very classy too - and have come down in price over the last couple of years
I was told NEVER to do that in the UK. Women have a funny thing about baths. You may alienate a sizable chunk of punters from considering an offer.
cant see much difference. unless room for both.can you not attach to bath.just a suggestion
up to 拢5K down and more difficult to sell.





I'd wonder why the house didn't have a bath, what is the problem with it ( space etc )





Simply put, you'd have to give me money off to install a new bathroom
I would certainly not buy a house with only a shower.
rWell most people like having a bathtub in there home and if you do this and go to sell your home when people come in too look at your house the fist thing there going to see is there is no bathtub, that could be a big turn off for them since it will cost them alot of money to install a new tub, and undo what you have done
you may not de-value the house but you would be reducing the amount of interest in the property, its a personal choice and I would prefer a large walk in shower
its primarily a matter of choice but it can deter prospective purchasers if and when you want to sell the property
