Bathtubs - what's appealing?

Our two upstairs bathrooms have tubs with sliding doors on them. I think cleaning the doors is a total pain, and I'm considering removing them or replacing the entire tubs.

We plan on moving in a few years, so I try to think of future owners when I make decisions like this.

Those who have purchased or built homes recently, which is considered more desirable - tubs with or without sliding doors?

Thanks!

Happy mom to two sweet, silly boys: Cohen age 4, AJ age 2.

    I absolutely HATE sliding doors on tubs.  It makes it a pain to keep clean and trying to bath a child in them drives me crazy as I'm always rubbing my arms on the tracks.  Of course, that's just my personal opinion, I have no idea what is actually more desirable.

  • I think sliding doors are horrible!!

    How many bathtubs are in your house? Have you thought about switching one over to a large shower?

  • I would say without.  They're a huge pain to clean and they're impossible to bathe two children at the same time with.

  • We had sliding glass doors and we just removed them-SO much better. Can you just remove them...we thought our tub/tile would be ruined from the door installation but they look perfect!

    I agree with everyone else...remove them!
  • I am also in the no sliding doors camp.  We removed ours and the tub wasn't damaged at all.

  • REMOVE THEM!

    would you like to know how many times I've gotten stuck in the shower because they came off the track??? TOO MANY TIMES! LOL

     

  • This makes me want to remove our.  Like TONIGHT!  Didn't really consider it was an option...  I totally agree, they are a pain!
  • Another vote for no doors Smile

  • Another vote for removing them.  No fun to clean.  Can't imagine trying to bathe kids leaning over the track.
