Remove the tub. Bathrooms have multiple fixtures packed into a small space. Not only that, but the surfaces are often watery. Bathtubs and toilets are two slip-prone areas where falls are common.

Most homeowners we talk with consider the tub a dust collector when they have a separate shower and tub already.
