Bathroom renovations can be a complicated process, but with careful planning and the right materials, you can create a bathroom that is both functional and beautiful. One of the most important choices to make when renovating your bathroom is whether you will be installing a bath or shower. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to weigh these carefully before making a final decision.

Which is More Economical?

When it comes to water usage, there are advantages and disadvantages to both showers and baths. A shower requires less water than a bath, so it is more economical in that sense. However, a bathtub can hold more heat than a shower, so you may use less energy overall if you take a bath. When it comes to time efficiency, a shower generally takes less time than a bath. However, this depends on the individual and how long they like to spend in the shower or bath.

Does replacing a bath with a shower devalue your home?

One of the decisions you may face when updating your bathroom is whether to keep the bathtub or replace it with a shower. In general, showers tend to add more value to a home than baths. This is because showers are growing in popularity as more and more people use them. Walk-in showers also tend to be more accessible, which is a plus for buyers with young children or mobility issues as grab rails and seats can be added. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, so be sure to consult with a local real estate agent to get an accurate idea of what will work best for your home.

What about both a shower and a bath?

If your bathroom is spacious enough to accommodate it, why not choose both a bath and a shower so you can enjoy the advantages of both? Many baths are adaptable to easily accommodate having a shower installed above them, this allows you to enjoy your relaxing evening baths and quickly shower before work in the mornings.
