Would I have been happy finding an alcove tub that looked nice and had fit into the space I had to avoid the dirty catch space? Sure. If we'd had a tub/shower combo for a master, I would also have just converted it to a nicer, full shower. We do have a good sized shower now (to the left of the vanity in the last photo) that used to be a tiny shower before that gets used a lot more. For resale value and because I do like an occasional soak, I didn't want to ditch the tub. In the overall scheme of cleaning things, not too bad. But I have a vacuum with a hose attachment that makes it easy to do a quick clean weekly and then once a month take a swiffer to the area. Talbot It does trap dust and dirt, especially with my plants there.
