Jim Katen Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Interesting. Is it a problem? If so, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think folks that take baths might like to sit back and relax. It's probably more comfortable ifn all the protruding bits are at one end.

Hard to see in the pict, but the sloped back of the tub, where your back would comfortably lie against, is under the tub spout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting that's true for about 50% of the population. I like to relax and read a book in the tub. My wife thinks it's gross to use a bathtub (or a hot tub, spa, etc.).

Mycakers Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Could there have been a shower stall installed in the bath previously? I've heard a few stories about rehabers not relocating a drain properly when doing a remodel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's often the case with this type of installation but, Jerry stated this to be new construction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 During the remodel the headwall stayed the same but the drain got relocated probably due to structural issues from a long time leak etc. The guy doing the job was not going to be living with it.

Is there also a sink and heated towel rail? I am currently planning a complete makeover in my bathroom and I just want to put such a bath. And thanks for your remarks, now I know that it is better to do drain and tap on one side:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
