Gist:
- Probably leave the bath/shower on the left.
- Probably will leave the toilet where it is.
- Probably will move the sink to where the radiator is.
- Probably will not have a radiator (never needed it even in the worst of Winter as the small room really only suffers from cold floor, cold toilet seat, and once a bath/shower is on the room is hot).
Currently thinking that I should research ways to have a full shower space to stand in whilst keeping a bath. Why? Baths improve property values, baths are occasionally nice... but a shower most days is preferred. A shower matters more than a bath to me, but if I can have both then great.

Note that the width behind the door cannot do a wide bath, but the width of window frame to wall can be wide. So I'm looking at a square in the far left corner... or a bath that starts narrow and gets wide enough to shower in.

Which leads me to L-shape baths like this: https://www.lettalondon.com/collections/shower-baths/products/corner-shower-bath-with-bath-screen-and-panel-right-handed-frontline

Baths improve property values

Do they though? If someone really wants your house the presence of a bath or not doesn't matter.

I have been through this at my last house and my current one.

At my last house I installed an L-shaped bath like the pic above and we never used the bath.

In my current house I have replaced the bath with a large walk-in shower and it is a much better option in my opinion.

I didn't want to spend say 10 years climbing in and out of a bath to shower for the benefit of the person who buys my house next.

Yeah, I'm split on this.

I take baths once in a while... but is that enough to keep the bath?
My partners uses a bath as it's easier to shave legs... but she reckons that as long as a shower space is large and has a ledge/seat in it then you can shave in a shower... she also likes baths to relax and help sleep better, but accepts that it's not critical.

We don't really know if we'll miss having a bath.

On property, this is a 2-bed (though 1 bed is an office), and realistically the only people buying this for the 2nd bedroom would be doing so because they have a young child (it's a small room)... arguably they would want a bath.

I'm very split... if there's a really elegant solution then I'm here for it... if not, I'll be going full walk-in shower route.
