The bath tub looks uncomfortable! One would need to be short in stature to have a relaxing soak in a tub shaped like that. Looks nice, but looks don't do it for me. Pity...the bathroom ambience is spectacular! Don't think the designers of these half- egg-shaped tubs and others like them gave much thought to practicality. I'm always glad of my big old plunge tub from years ago, looks lovely newly resurfaced....plenty of room to stretch out, nice wide edges to sit on if needs be, 1/2inch thick enamelled cast iron that keeps the water warm, wide ledge at the rear for easy-to-reach pamper products.... Think I'd rather have a larger version of the lovely vanity basin you've had installed as a bathtub rather than your half egg shaped one. Nevertheless, hope your new bathroom with a view brings you many relaxing hours.

I have a shower over bath combo' which its plastic resin something? It's a old bungalow and pitifully small. The amount of times I have nearly slipped over getting out, or lost my balance with soap in my eyes/ or after having a glass of wine. hate hate it. I did see a shower room with a additional hand held device and a over head shower. I thought that good for the odd squirt your feet down. The next owners will probably rip it all out and start again any way when design ideas change.

Yes Hayley it is worth it, because going to a spa centre takes a lot of time and money in the long run. And the truth is that everyone wants and deserves some piece of relaxation after the hard day at work and all those obligations we are carrying on a daily basis. It's well known that the busy life we live leads to an increased level of stress and anxiety which further affects our health, both mentally and physically. I have my swim spa more than 8 years and i'm very satisfied. Investing in a home spa is investing in your health and well being. The benefits that come from the regular use of a hot tub are unbeatable. The hot water along with the massage is known for relieving the stress, reducing the aches and pains, improving the sleep and the connections with loved ones.

I just think if everything is jammed in tight it won't seem relaxing and you won't use it. When you consider what you use every day (vanities and shower) I wouldn't compromise them for a maybe-once-a-week-if-most dust catcher like a bath unless you had heaps of space.
