We don't have a bath in our house anymore. The only bath was in the main bathroom, the two en-suites have showers. I've just ripped the bath out and replaced it with a shower. I think baths are a bit unhygeinic.
Out of curiosity for those who have had baths removed, doesn't it reduce the re-sale value of your property (if you're in a family-sized house) or does that not matter/make a difference to you or to the market these days?

Not really , quite a lot of people after buying a property have a new Bathroom fitted and most have a new kitchen. Being a Plumber before I retired I should Know. Just like those who bought their Council House have a new Front Door fitted:).
For actual cleaning purposes...a shower.
If I am stressed, got a headache or had a mare of a day then a bath...with a book and a glass of wine of course!

With the increasing cost of energy in can actually be a bonus to remove the bath in a family-sized home.
There was a time when there was seven working adults in the household, a daily bath was just totally out of the question
Shower. It must be a pain in the butt running late and having to wait for the bath to fill. I don't mind them but I've nearly always just had a shower.
I absolutely LOVE getting baths but hate, hate, hate drying myself...it takes me forever!
I have a cheat for this! If you stick your legs and arms out of the water for a couple of minutes before the end and then stay in the bath whilst it's emptying, you dry off and can get out mostly clear
I like both, but I have a bugbear about people who say having a bath is 'sitting in your own dirt'. 1) the colour of water is mostly soap, not dirt - when you shower you don't see clumps of muck coming off, 2) it's good for you anyway.
I prefer to have a long soak in the back with some nice relaxing bubble bath and scented candles. I only do that on a sunday evening, though, because it's quicker to shower for the rest of the week.

I don't believe people are that dirty these days, anyway. It's not like years ago when people could only afford a bath once a week or less.
I like both but at the moment, due to a problem with my joints, I find it difficult to get out of the bath so just use the shower now and I especially like it because of the different shower patterns it's got (5).
Also I don't like washing my hair, which is quite long, when I'm having the shower. I wear a shower cap so I have to do it seperately. What do other people with long hair do?

The baby always had it’s own plastic bath or the kitchen sink as an alternative..... :cool:

I suspected it would.
But I have not had a ie in bath for maybe 30 years.
