I really want to take super long showers, but I pay the water bill so.....

Fact is, the shower we have is.... Strange to say the least.

It's a wand. Only a wand. Most wand showers also hang up in a way that allows you to just, use it like a normal shower.... Not this one. I actually hate it, but don't have the budget to replace it right now, since it will likely need a partial renovation for the bathroom and that's our only shower, so everyone is going to get a bit stinky while it's reno'd.

What I want to do is to add a new bathroom with a shower/bath, then reno the current one, so we can shower during the reno.

Edit: before anyone else comments about how easy it is to change your shower head, I don't think you understand exactly how strange our shower is. There's nowhere to put a "normal" shower head. There's no pipe coming out of the wall at head-height that we can connect a shower head to. The wand literally goes into the wall of the tub when it's not in use (similar to how the sprayer things work on some kitchen sinks.... If you're familiar with that, but the controls are not just a button on the handle to turn it on, they're on the edge of the tub.

Weird enough for you?

I can see a cutout in the wall panel of the shower where the diverter should go, and it's not cut open. We will need to tear out about half of the wall panels to put in the diverter and a standard shower head connector thing.... I'm not a plumber, but the one we hired when the original hardware in the shower started leaking took about three days or more to find hardware to install that would work with the odd layout of it.

I know it doesn't really come across by text, so if you want some semblance of what I'm dealing with, the wand is a bit like this one... Or at least closer to this than what you have in your showers: https://www.livinghouse.co.uk/acatalog/Bath-Rim-Pull-Out-Shower-Head.html

Yeah. I hate it.
