Hi Nic, I've been stuck with shower-over-baths in a few rentals and they can be slippery death traps! They also get grotty in summer with bare feet, post beach showers etc which limits usage as a bath anyway. If your kids are old enough I'd go for just a nice big shower area or a separate shower with a compact freestanding bath if you can fit one. If your kids are little or the above won't work for you here's some tips to make a shower over bath safer and easy to use: - Pick a bath with an absolutely flat bottom and anti slip texture at the shower end (those suction anti-slip mats are worse than useless). - Position the shower screen so that you can step straight onto the anti slip part. - Make sure the bath edge is low enough for the kids to enter end exit easily. - A hand held shower head that can move up and down would be a nice addition. Hope that helps! Good luck with the new bathroom :)

Your concrete specialist will have ways of sealing/coating the concrete in a low-slip/textured finish. This can be done by texturing the concrete while wet and by using a textured epoxy with low-slip properties. Ask your concrete specialist what they recommend when used in a wet environment such as a shower.

I really like the look of the separate bath and showers, it seems a little less budget. Plus, there's something kind of worrying about a bath and shower combo - does anyone else get worried about slipping?

Hope post shows, got some weird error message
