"Still, there's the bath" fails when, in fact, there is no bath.

And has not been for three weeks. (Lots of showers, mind you. The library gets enough smelly people without my help.)

That's three weeks I've been bugging my landlord about the plumbing and finally yesterday she had a plumber in and so this morning I try to take a bath only to find out, no, still doesn't work.

I would go spare if I did not have a functional bathtub. Of course, our current frustration is that the woman in the one-room apartment in the basement uses up our whole tank of hot water in the afternoons, leaving us none for baths or showers in the evening. So even having the bathtub and functional plumbing is no consolation. We've been lugging buckets of water from the upstairs neighbours to bathe our toddler son.

(No, we don't rent it to her, the landlord does. Grr.)

This is sad. Though I went several years without a bath due to faulty plumbing, and one can survive it, it's not ideal. In what way does your bath Not Work, though? Mine was a leaky shower head that gave you bath and shower combined when you ran the bath.

I have that, and also - it's one of those baths that doesn't have a rubber stopper, it has a metal arm that you lift to stop up the drain, and that part doesn't work, so all the water runs out.

Landlord says the plumber will be back Monday or Tuesday.
