Bath or shower

I’m going to get a new bathroom. It’s very small so am thinking of installing a walk-in shower rather than having a bath. I rarely use the bath and it’s only me now so it makes absolute sense. The only concern is for when I sell (although I don’t think I’ll ever move now unless I’m forced to by circumstance!) If a family with young children buy they’ll most probably want a bath but of course they could use a baby bath in the shower. Your thoughts?

I have a wet room shower which I bathe my dog in. I sit on a plastic shower seat so I can wash him comfortably even though he is a little low jack russell. I couold not manage to lift any dog of any size into a bath.

I always have plastic pool sliders on my feet whenever I use the shower.

Haven't had a bath since I moved in (11 years) would love a walk in shower but it's a council house so no way. We did get a power shower installed for over the bath which is the best we can do here.
