We bought a house and took over a finished bathroom. A freestanding bathtub has been installed here. However, the “dirty corners” bother me a lot.
Ideally, I would like to remove the bathtub completely, but my husband wants to keep one. The washbasin will also be changed, so there is still some space available.
I thought about simply building some kind of wall around it. But of course, I have no idea how to do that. We don’t have any extra wall tiles.
We would also buy a new bathtub if that would solve the problem; it doesn’t have to be oval. The corner is not a right angle, of course.
Do you perhaps have any ideas about what is possible?
Thanks a lot in advance.

KarstenausNRW8 Aug 2023 19:13Without knowing the floor plan and based only on the corners, tiles, and fixtures, there are two options:
1. (preferred) remove everything completely
2. undertake a major effort with high costs. It will never look good with such awkward angles – not to mention the necessary tiles for, for example, a bathtub surround. Or a proper moisture barrier in the corners (if the bathtub is to be installed against the wall). Etc. I would definitely want to avoid all that.
