Bathroom vs Shower Room — Which Adds More Value?
Should you keep the bath or replace it with a larger shower? Estate agents and property experts weigh in on which option adds more value to your home.
One of the most common dilemmas in a bathroom renovation is whether to keep the bath or remove it in favour of a larger shower enclosure or wet room. The answer depends on your property and your circumstances.
If your property has only one bathroom, most estate agents advise keeping the bath. Families with young children and buyers looking for family homes expect at least one bath in the property. Removing the only bath can reduce your pool of potential buyers.
If your property has two or more bathrooms, converting the second bathroom into a shower room is generally considered a good move. A large, well-designed shower room is highly desirable and can add value.
The quality of the installation matters more than the choice of bath or shower. A beautifully fitted shower room with premium tiles and fittings will add more value than a tired bathroom with a bath that has seen better days.
