Tub vs. Walk-In Shower for Resale Value

Quick answer

For resale, the smart approach in most homes is to keep at least one tub — buyers with young children often want one — while making the primary or most-used bathroom a large, well-designed walk-in shower. A dated, unused tub adds little value; an attractive walk-in shower usually adds more appeal than a tub in a home that already has one elsewhere.

Which bathroom to convert

If you have more than one full bath, converting the primary or a heavily-used bath to a walk-in shower while keeping a tub in a secondary bath is the balanced move. In a one-bathroom home, keeping a tub is usually wiser for resale.
