See, the thing is, it's more than just having to step over the bath rim into the shower. A shower cubicle means you don't have to worry where the water is going, because it's contained. You can dispense with the awful shower curtain that never quite looks right and that horrible pole across the room to hold it up. Even if you install one of those glass shields instead, I'd worry that it would leak, and that it wouldn't be wide enough to prevent water escaping onto the floor. Finally, the geography of my bathroom means that the shower is at the opposite end of the bath to the taps - you know, the sloping end where you lean back? That means you're actually standing some distance away from the showerhead, so if you want a decent deluge, you have to lean forward into the stream of water descending from the showerhead.
On the other hand, I do worry where I'm going to lay my sweaters for drying after I've washed them. And where I'm going to fill the bucket for washing the floor...
Argh! Am I spending too long agonising about this?
