• 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.

  • 2 and 4

    The 4 year old loves the shower as much as the bath so no worries there.

    @Acliff in terms of splashing, you'd have the directional nozzle/handnozzle thing along with the taps at one end of the shower, with the drainage and rainwater nozzle at the other end. Stand at one end and direct water to the other. Seems easy enough in theory?

    I guess my point is that I can see baths being useful for another year or three - then hardly used beyond that. They take up a lot of space for something that will be so rarely used in the long run.

  • A full bath for a 5 year old is a massive waste of water. But they seem to enjoy it.

    A removal smaller bath might be useful while they are younger and could suffice.

    I occasionally need a bath to help recover my bruised and battered body, though a Japanese deep soak bath would be ideal.

  • Either something removable then, or I wonder if you could have a deep tiled shower tray, which would make a shallow bath?

    When our youngest (<1) is in the bath on their own I only fill it about a foot anyway.

    It could also prevent overflowing from lazy teenagers when they get older.
