We are faced with a similar dilemma. As we get older the need for a

we are looking at installing a decent sized 900x900 shower cabinet and
a tiny 1200mm bath.

My walk-in shower is 1100x850. It was a godsend to have it in 2009 when a
bike accident put me on crutches for six weeks - I was able to put one of
my balcony plastic chairs in the shower and shower sitting down. Perhaps
I'll be doing the same when I'm old and decrepit.

It's always seemed to me that, if you have the space, a small bench or
just somewhere to plonk your bum is a fantastic addition to any shower.
It doesn't have to be much - just a 12 inch deep recess with a mat or
wooden slats to insulate your rear end from the cold tiles. It would make
showering much more pleasant (and less risky, too - no more slipping
over when you do your feet).
I was converted when we stayed in a hotel that had them. Ever since I've
been trying to shoe-horn one in here.
