I ... find it functionally superior (less water splashback) and also kinda aesthetically more pleasing than if it were centred (within the chosen parameters of colours/materials/designs ... which bother me more, looks cheap).

I also find it dirty (prob right after the work was done).
I would rinse it a bit before posting pics.

... actually the offset might be for accessibility reasons - so people with mobility issues (eg in wheelchairs) can get to the faucet easier. Which is always a good design option imho.

It's not mildly infuriating at all, it's mildly pleasing.

Seconded. Leaves good wall space to the left for a soap or shampoo holder.

I know exactly what happened here having just done a renovation on a basement with a completely fucked up bathroom.

They re-used the existing piping and lines when replacing the tub and shower surrounds.

They wanted to save a few hundred dollars and/or effort of moving the pipes to center up with the prefab tub/surround, and just figured they could drill the hole into the surround for the shower attachments wherever.

They're correct, but that doesn't make them right.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

More likely, there is a sistered stud directly in the center of the surround, and to fix it properly, they would have to tear out both sides of the wall.

Offsetting the valve to one side or the other, they don't have to do any additional demolition, framing, or drywall.

I don't get it. What's the problem?

[–] pcr3 11 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I agree. It'd be kind of nice to have it off to the side.

[–] stoly 1 points 3 hours ago

Other side, sure. On the entrance side you might stub your toe.

[–] surewhynotlem 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Showerhead seems like an issue. I guess if you can articulate it to point to the wall and the wall is well sealed it's probably ok.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

The wall has to be well sealed. This is better. The shower head is pointed away from the curtain. Less water on the floor.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 15 hours ago

I actually like it better this way, as I wouldn't have to reach in as far to turn it on. I think having controls there and the spigot on the corner on the left would be best, though.

[–] bassomitron 39 points 15 hours ago

I mean, it could be worse? That's definitely pretty obnoxious, though.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 14 hours ago

What fresh hells is this? Non-centered plumbing? Your right to symmetry is being violated bro.

[–] themeatbridge 23 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

As ugly as it is, at least it works. I kind of like offset spigots, but this was obviously just a mistake/laziness.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That looks like the narrowest tub I've ever seen. I assume they renovated the place and made the bathroom smaller to add an extra bedroom or something, and they just shrank the wall without changing the plumbing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Just a hunch, but probably a stud right in the middle and they either didn't want to deal with it, or didn't know how to move it. Makes sense if it's someone watching a video and doing it themselves to save money.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

What's wrong with it? Anyone wanna answer me or are you going to just keep clicking the little down arrow to feel superior?

[–] EtherWhack 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The fixtures aren't centered (laterally) on the wall.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Nah. It actually reduces problems. Shutoff is in easy reach from outside the tub. Showerhead points away from the curtain: less water outside the tub. It just annoys the hell out of symmetrical people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Even less splashback if you wanna fill the tub.

[–] EtherWhack 2 points 7 hours ago

It looks like it's primarily aesthetic.

A few notes though... With the faucet and valve so close to the open side, the shower curtain could inconvenience adjusting the temperature or catch onto the handle if not paid attention to. If the shower head is also offset that much (not sure by the pic but a couple of easy fixes are available) it could make it more difficult to shower especially with having to stand in a tub.

It’s fug, if still functional.

Screams low rent American to me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Low rent? This would be $3000/Mo in NYC. Somehow landlords here manage to find the smallest half-tubs that don't actually work for shit.

[–] 11111one11111 1 points 10 hours ago

Yeah why save hundreds of dollars not moving the whole fucking plumbing lines so youe fucking shower spigot is on fucking center line🤣🤣🤣 for every asshole landlord there is a bitchy fuckin cunt renting from them🤣

What's the reason it wouldn't be up to code? Seems fine from a safety perspective, though a little unorthodox.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

The woogity nub is close enough for a cat to distract the bather with constant woogeting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

This is the way
