Bath Tub or Walk in Shower?
I have been debating with colleagues lately about the need for a master bathtub. Some of the houses in my area have small standing showers right next to a bathtub. Would you keep both or ditch the tub and build a large walk-in shower?
Disclosure:
- guest bath has a bathtub for renters with kids
- This is a long term buy and hold.

I’d probably just leave it for a rental. The cost of rehabbing the bath by removing the tub and putting in a larger shower is to much. If I was flipping I would take the tub out.
