    Don’t most american homes not have a bathroom with shower on the wall and a drain in the floor? What’s the point of having a shower stall or a tub?

    Here’s mine:

      Most American bathrooms you have a combo tub/shower. So you get the shower on the wall and use the drain in the tub. Since you have to step over the side of the tub to take a shower that’s not what many people consider a “walk-in” shower. In higher-end, generally newer construction sometimes they’ll have a separate walk-in shower and tub. Bathrooms with just a shower are somewhat uncommon. If you see a 3/4 bath listed in a house that’s a bathroom with just a shower and no tub.

      I’ve considered getting rid of my tub and just having a shower as I never use the tub part, but as I only have one “full” bathroom supposedly having a house with no tub hurts the resale value. I might do it anyway, but also what I have is working fine and I’m lazy.

        Do people actually use the tub? I’ve only seen and used ones in hotels for the novelty of it. I wouldn’t have use for one in my own home especially since I need to pay for the water.
