We bought 70s era house in FL couple of years ago which was for sale "as-is"...it was a relo sale and there was no negotiating regarding any "flaws" that came up in inspection review...the house is next door to our daughter and for the most part was in good shape with some expensive remodeling/updates.
One thing not touched was the master bath...we knew the shower tile was not in great shape but it seemed to be holding its own...until yesterday...

The new cleaner we had was trying to stick the shower mat to the wall by the suction cups and caused tiles on the wall to come loose...some cracked and fell off...we covered with plastic and duct tape for now.
We are looking at redoing the original (small) shower stall at the minimum (like a 3x3 space)
and maybe if we can agree on what we want to do going with a master bath update...

The issue about total redo vs just shower is really that I want to take out the large tub and make a large shower stall and my husband wants to keep a tub in the fairly narrow space where there is a large acrylic-type/faux marble soaker tub set at an angle so they could put in full-size tub when house was built.

Neither of us is a tub person...I haven't had a bath in probably 12 years that I can remember...he just doesn't want to give up the tub because he thinks doing so will downgrade the bath for resale in future...I know that isn't always the case now but I won't be able to convince him of that...
it is main reason we kept tub in house we remodeled and sold two years ago and didn't enlarge the shower as much as I would have liked...

there is tradition tub/shower combo in the other/guest bath--which is also original but think in better shape...so house would have a tub...
We wouldn't redo guest bath at this time anyway since it is rarely used compared to master...and need to have bath to use during remodel...

The photo shows how the current tub is slanted and angles into the floorspace--it is a NARROW room...I don't think a normal tub will fit if it is set straight from wall to wall...my husband measured and think width of room is less than 6feet...the opening uses a pocket door so there is no swing to worry about...
You come into that part of the bath by walking past counter with two sinks and our closet across from the sinks' counter...

there is small linen closet/bifold door to the left of opening w/small shower built into the corner between closet and corner...there is window in shower which might have caused some of the intrusion problem because the shower was not redone when window was replaced several years ago by previous owners...
Toilet is open to room and about in middle of that wall...then tub...
We know that moving plumbing drains will be very expensive--this is a slab foundation house--and don't want to do that...

I know that a soaking tub that is more upright and deep vs wide might be an option but we are both seniors--climbing in and out of tub like that wouldn't really be desirable for either of us and don't know how it would work for resale either...

Does anyone have suggestions for smaller tubs or photos of Japanese type tubs-- a style like that doesn't really fit with the "look" I would use either from what I have seen of them...but might be best option.
