We are renovating our bathroom and I'm not sure whether we should have both a bath and a shower. Is having a bathtub important when it comes to selling a home?

First you need to discuss with your builder whether a bath and shower will fit into your given space, then visit bathroom showrooms to discuss your options and the products available. "It's great to include a big bath - freestanding baths are currently fashionable - especially if you have a large family and the available space," says Tim Dawson, a bathroom specialist at Tradelink. "But if you don't need it, put your money into something else, like a double shower with, say, a Kohler water tile, which is installed in the ceiling. While a bath does have resale appeal, a bathroom without a bath can still be just as enticing to buyers if the room is well presented with appropriate products to suit your home."
