At a micro level, if those jet fittings in the tub are white plastic that has turned yellow, you can make them look at lot better by removing them and spraying them with white spray paint that is intended to adhere to plastic.At a macro level, if you want to modernize the bathroom with a lot of work, move the toilet to the shower area and enclose it in a separate room.

Assuming it's not an A+ luxury unit in the most desirable part of town, then I'd usually recommend a plastic shower curtain instead of a glass door, because it costs much less and can be changed easily between tenants (whereas a glass door often accumulates water spots that can be difficult to fully clean after a few tenants...and, as you mentioned, if a tenant breaks a glass door, that could be a costly headache).Also, assuming it's not an A+ luxury unit, I'd usually recommend going with a fiberglass unit (either tub or shower) instead of tile, because tile is usually more expensive, and it can be more likely to begin leaking, and it requires more upkeep.

Then we would lay plastic down ( usually just a plastic garbage bag torn open) and then we would put down the woodchips/ rocks / whatever substrate you choose.

All the electrical outlet covers need to be changed, white plastic is ugly and cheap and has no place in a $500K home.
