Bath or shower

As it was - shower over the bath.
With curtain rail - those fancy half glass doors are useless.

Ha ha Esscence!
No, I was going to resurface the very badly chipped/stripped bath but having used it, it is a horrible bath. Too deep and too narrow with an overflow that blows a draught right on you. The shower is very badly positioned right beside the window so the sill gets waterlogged. Can't expect tenants to bother to ensure they keep it dry. The basin is cracked and the toilet......EUCKK!!! The half a**ed formica wall cladding has holes in it. All in all much simpler and maybe even cheaper in the long run to gut it and re do it.

I prefer walking into a shower than stepping up and over into a shub, and the more space for a bigger vanity bench the better

I don't even put baths into houses I renovate to sell, who can afford the luxury of a bath anyway?
My current tenants are 73 and 65, brother and sister, they are happy as with the fairly new 900 x 900 tiled shower.
Little kids equal wear and tear, try to discourage these and aim for the professionals (property manager looking after the property now, her decision to turn it into rest home)

Oh, me too DaveW. But my target market, families with young kids want a tub. This is my best compromise, I think.

@Meehole. Wrong area for professionals. Next IP.

I would be getting rid of the bath and putting in a shower if you are going to do anything. You have no idea how regularly I get hatred towards shower over baths.
