• Will be getting a new bathroom in the house we're working moving into next month.

    We have 2 young kids and wondering if whether we can get away without a bath by having a large walk in shower.

    Using a build out and hidden hardware, Is there any reason I can't have the shower control and directional nozzle mounted to a separate part of the shower wall ?

    I'm imagining a scenario where I can turn the shower on and off and spay the kids with the nozzle from the 'end' of the walk in shower without getting myself wet.

  • Yes, within reason. My folks tap is attached to a glass screen with a knob on each side so you can turn it on without getting splashed. So that might be looking into.

    How old are they? Safety is a factor if you don't know what temperature is coming out - our water temp can fluctuate sometimes.

    TBH I can't imagine having a family home without a bath and think most people feel the same, so worth thinking about for resale.

    I used a big wet room on holiday with our 3yo once and hozing them down was quite fun until they curled into a ball. Then it all felt a bit Guantanmo.

  • I can’t think how you could wash two young kids in a shower on a regular basis without getting soaked.

    Also bath time is a very useful parenting tool. Kids tend to look forward to baths. Not so much fun hosing down screaming reluctant toddlers.

  • I considered not having a Bath, we never used it and they take up space etc. But I think they’re kinda necessary. Think we’re going to put a rainfall shower coming from the ceiling above the bath and then have a glass screen
