thanks everyone for the feedback...seems like most of you opted to keep the bath :/ The initial plan was to try to turn the linen closet (which is right next to the bathroom) into a seperate toilet but plumber man thinks its too small along with the fact were on a slab the ideal spot for the toilet wld be against the outside wall which means we have to have it in the bathroom. The other idea is to eat into our main bedroom slightly to gain more space in the bathroom to fit it all in...but im not sure about cost on that.. This is our forever house though so I want to get it right..

Has anyone got a shower over bath? They look like they wld be awkward to bath kids in...and im imagining they wldnt be too easy to step in and out from as they wld have to be quite deep...im not sold on this idea but i see ppl do see bath tubs as being an important part of the bathroom so its something I may need to look into to keep the bath :/
