Hi. Hoping I can get some advise on my kids bathroom remodel. It is a pretty small space and will have a 5' double vanity, the end of which will almost abut a perpendicular 5' alcove tub. My wife really doesn't like shower curtains or doors, so we've decided to install a shower screen. This will be located on the side of the tub next to the vanity. Therefore, the shower head and tub spout will need to be on that wall. I am, however, considering installing the valve on the opposite wall, so that it will be easy to turn on and adjust the water from outside the tub, without having to reach around the shower screen. I previously lived in a house with a shower stall (no tub / sliding doors) with a similar arrangement, and although it seemed strange at first, I quickly got used to it and found it quite convenient.
Does this arrangement make the plumbing much more difficult? Will this look odd over a tub? The old tub has been ripped out and the bathroom is down to the studs. The old tub had the valves where I would want them is the new tub, so the water supply is already located there.
Any reason not to go for this unusual setup?
