Anyone have or put in a master bath where the tub & shower are combined in one "wet room" like this?

Cleaning the tile around that tub would suck.

We would use larger tile (12x24 at least) & maybe a drop in tub w/ platform (easier for short old people to get in).

Probably closer to this in size & style (but not exact). (Edit) Oops. Added photo

How often do people use “tubs” in master suite? Outside of bathing small

Or put Dawn in your dishwasher and tell us how that goes.

Soupie

One of my kids has already tried that. It was an exciting evening in our house. No video though, sadly.

Like every night ... the double wide tub is awesome.

The bigger tiles won't work for the floor but if you did build up a platform for the tub & not a free standing tub the

Yes, just on walls & tub surround — thinking penny tile for the floor. Will consider the steam rm idea. Sounds cool.

Soupie

1/30/21 10:38pm

Absolutely do the steam. If you’re going to remodel to this level anyway, it

Assuming you are draining to one side? Larger tile make center drains hard.

My first thought. That tub would always be water marked and dirty around it.

I think it looks nice.

I love this. This is how baths are in Japan and ever since we lived there, we’ve decided this is the one true way

I'm sorry.

Do you even need glass doors at all? I like the showers with no doors

Iman23

1/30/21 10:08pm

What! Gotta keep the steam in.

Mrs Featerbottom

1/30/21 10:30pm

What is the benefit of doing this?

CDV

1/30/21 10:09pm

Without a wall between the shower & tub, both areas can share floor space and be bigger than it they are separate.

Helped a buddy put one in his house

If it were me, I'd use the space instead in a double-wide tub.

runnincoug

1/30/21 10:11pm

Going to probably do this in a 6x8 space. But don’t think I want to enclose it,

SpecialKC

1/30/21 10:17pm

Wondering about that too. Must be a calculator to decide if there's space to skip the glass & still not

Soupie

1/30/21 10:20pm

Also heard some don't like doorless b/c it gets cold & drafty.

Soupie

1/30/21 10:21pm

Yeah maybe I’d do a heat lamp too for that reason

SpecialKC

1/30/21 10:24pm

That's what I was going to comment. If the space is too big, it doesn't

With it enclosed it becomes a sauna, which is very nice

A_blue_car

1/30/21 10:32pm

I love that. Are the mirrors on the ceiling or wall?

HoustonCougar

1/30/21 10:22pm

It's a major trend right now but one that I would pass on.

Mrs Featerbottom

1/30/21 10:29pm

You're doing showers wrong

They make tiles that have handles on them. Install a few. You’re welcome.

Nice. Yes, we're moving our laundry to absorb some extra space into master bath.

Soupie

1/30/21 11:08pm

Cool, though it sounds like a lot of extra plumbing.

We have 6 existing water lines to work with & room underneath it is an unfinished storage room so easy access.

go with a steam shower if you can fit it in your budget... in Utah your pic probably works, but in more humid places

Wouldn't do a free standing tub. They look sexy but are impractical.
