If you are planning to stay In the same house for a very long time and into old age, it's also worth considering making the shower disabled friendly, by choosing one with a low entrance threshold height rather than a high step up like some people have installed to save on plumbing costs of having to let the drainage pipework deep into the downstairs ceiling between the joists.
My ensuite shower has been installed this way, my downstairs utility room shower has not, due the solid concrete floor that formed part of the house foundations not being tampered with due to building regulations.
This shower now needs a separate shallow step to climb up as the tray height is almost 30cm off the tiled utility floor, and it's a right pain in the backside, as I'm always afraid of slipping with my arthritic hip whilst doing so.
The only downside to having no bath In a house is that it makes it less attractive to any families with young children that may be looking to buy in the future, or even Grandchildren who may come to stay at times, as children love to play in warm bathwater whilst getting clean.
A final piece of advice would be to try and choose tiles made of porcelain rather than ceramic, drop something heavy on a ceramic floor and its lightly to crack the tile, where as Porcelain will not. Also worth asking your tiler's advice on the long term maintenance of the tile you have in mind, as some natural stone finishes require regular applications of specialist sealant which can workout expensive and time consuming to keep them watertight and looking good.
