It’s easy to see why corner tubs would be attractive to homeowners. Above all, they are space-saving. They optimize your floor space because they can easily squeeze into a corner. They’re designed to fill up underused space in the bathroom, as they don’t require long walls.

However, when it comes to home value, you might find that the expense of the tub outweighs the value added. Corner bathtubs have their downsides; namely, they are very deep, which can make them unwieldy and bulky. They’re not always an efficient option, especially if your bathroom’s ceilings are not high. The cost to remove a tub is $70-$140, which might scare off potential buyers.
