So it seems like:
Thermostatic valves >= Hot water tank >> Pipes.
Got it, thanks!

Covid has thrown a wrench in my time-line, but we want to renovate the ensuite at some point. I've basically been designing it in my head forever. If it were totally up to us, with no reprocussions, we'd toss that stupid tub in a second. We've never used it. But I always wonder if that would handicap us in the future.
The space saved would be used to expand the shower a tad and basically add more storage.

Might bother young families a little bit who have little ones to bathe if there's no bath tubs at all.
For the young professionals, might depend how well done it is (ie: Looks like a great decision vs something that looks like someone cut corners).
Lots of people might not care overall.
If you do go 100% shower though, definitely take the opportunity to consider a hand held shower head or a shower with both a shower head and a hand held option as opposed to just garden variety shower heads. Somehow habit wise, I occasionally fill things like humidifiers with the tub and it doesn't fit under the tap and holding it under a shower is dumb for obvious reasons. It's also fantastic for cleaning a glass only shower stall (ie: rinsing glass after cleaning it).

Currently I have a space heater on a timer that warms it up in the morning and evening. Kind of lame to have a space heater sitting in there all the time, though.
What I'd like is some sort of heater that fits under the vanity. I'm lucky in that the utility room is right below the bathroom, so it would be easy to screw around basically anywhere below the bathroom.
Also, there is a heat vent that goes into the bathroom. Are there any little heaters I can buy that you shove into that duct to blast heat? I could power it from the utility room. I'm not talking about a fan booster in the duct... I mean like an actual heater.

Something like this? I saw something like this installed in the bathroom in an Air BnB in Portland, but it had the temperature controls on the wall.
