The other half wants a linen cabinet in the bath room. The only way to
achieve space for a 15 inch wide 83 high cabinet is to make the tub
shorter. American Standard still makes a 4 foot tub.

My question is it worth installing a 4' tub with shower?

Thanks

Depends on your priorities. I've never used the tub in our house
preferring
a shower. Others may prefer to bath in a tub, but a 4' is not one for
relaxing and soaking. If you are considering resale value, you need both.

I'd rather have a 4' kick ass multi head shower than a tub.


While I agree with Edwin about what we like consider that if this is the
only bathroom in the house you or the next owner may wish to bathe a child
in a tub. And sometimes a soak even in a short tub is better than no tub at
all.

Bottom line; if you just have the one bath, do the short tub. I actually own
a house with a 4 foot tub/shower and renting it has never been a problem.
An apartment that I formerly owned with just a shower was sometimes a
problem.
