What to do with this terrible shower/tub layout?
We have recently begun renovations on a new property that will be a long term hold. Everything is going well so far. The only full bath has a poor layout due to it being narrow and having a sloped ceiling that follows the roof line. Doing a bump out is not an option.
Originally, I was just thinking about replacing the tub and surround and just dealing with the ceiling slope in the shower. I am 6'1" and can stand in the shower fine. The slopped wall is pretty close though. Now I am wondering if there are better, reasonably priced, options. Perhaps moving the plumbing to the opposite wall and doing a walk in shower? The problem would then be the lack of a full bath.
My other thought would be moving the plumbing and putting a tub perpendicular to the existing location. Only problem with that is I will need to find a custom tub that is less then 60" wide.
Any thoughts from the experienced investors out there?
I cannot figure out how to make my pictures small enough, so I will have to link to the dropbox pictures.
