When we go staycation, the highlight is often the bathtub.

So why not bring that experience home?

But the thing is, the bathtub in the hotel is nice only cause it’s a once in a while thing.

When bathtub becomes an everyday thing and the novelty wears off, it becomes a regret and a waste of space rather than a joy.

What Actually Happens

This homeowner installed a bathtub in their master bathroom, and after a while they just gave up.

• Troublesome: Showering in the tub is a chore. You need to climb in and out, fill the water, stand on a restricted surface, make sure you don’t fall down. Just imagine doing this every day.

• Time: You definitely won’t use it as much as you think. Ain’t nobody got time to constantly wait for the bathtub to be filled.

They now use the common bathroom for showering.

And the bathtub now becomes a playground for their little girl HAHA.

How Much Does It Cost?

Installing bathtub costs around $1,800.

Will you really use it that often?

TLDR

Installing a bathtub costs around $1,800.

It looks shiok, feels shiok, but most homeowners end up not using them.

Unless you’re absolutely sure it fits your lifestyle, don’t do it.
