I'm really frustrated at the lack of choice for a new bathtub for my 60" x 30" (stud-to-stud) alcove. There's just so many more options with a 32" tub. The only way I could use a 32" tub is if I put a 4"x4" floor to ceiling at one end of the alcove to extend the width (see Option 2 in illustration), but the bathroom is very small as it is and my wife and I have concerns about resale value and just general aesthetic appeal of having a random bit of wall jutting out.
Anyone have any opinion about this? It won't obstruct the door or anything, but just encroaches on an already tight space, and it will bring the tub surround much closer to the window (about a 2" drywall gap between the window frame and the surround).
