The flat I have at the moment (600sq ft in mid levels) has a decent sized bathroom with an ENORMOUS shower, but no bath tub. I just put that down to a quirk of my landlord's who values contemporary design (and it is a gorgeous shower, walk in and larger than your average tub).
My lease is up and I'm looking at moving but for some reason all I'm finding is loads of modern flats with large, walk in showers that are at least as big as a bath tub, but no bath tub.
Is it cheaper to install just a shower instead of a bath even when there is the space to do so, or is this just the latest fad in contemporary architecture and I'll just have to deal with it?
