We will remove our bath when renovating the bathroom and put in an accessible shower for ageing later.

Much, much, much later, oh who am I kidding!

We never use our bath, the large cat cages are in it for nighttime. The seats sound intriguing, you should do a before and after on Houzz.

Marc you should join our aussie chat thread.

I'll do that (a before and after). I have to start soon as it's warming up and sparks and summer snow grass are a poor combo. :)

I'm very partial to a soak in the tub and I'm lucky enough that the bathroom is big enough to have a bath and a separate shower. Climbing into the bath for a shower gets old pretty quickly.

Our last house had two showers, no bath. About twice a year, I'd yearn for a bath. Never really regretted not putting one in, thogh. New house does have a bath as well as two showers, so life is perfect.

Re the accessible bathtubs, you have to get in, then sit there while they fill up, have your bath, then sit there while they drain. Some of them leak. And they use a lot of hot water. Personally, I'd go for a shower with a built in or molded bench to sit on. That way, youre not sitting there damp and shivering while the water drains.

No point sitting in dirty water in a bath; which needs to be followed by a shower to become 'clean.' Additionally, a showerdome is essential for a closed recess -to keep warm and too avoid any mist in the bathroom. Like having a roof on a phone box. Who would expect anything less.

Hmmm, must look them up.

Look on Google -"showerdome New Zealand". $300\. Cut the dome flanges to size using a power saw with 60 blade; and water spray bottle while cutting to keep it cool.

Thanks! We will do the bathroom when we have saved up enough, want wheelchair accessible shower, for later.
