Adding a bathtub…question

The master bathroom in our new home does not have a bathtub. It has a lovely shower and an extremely wide vanity. I know for bathrooms adding anything that didn’t exist before costs a fortune, but I would really love to add a bathtub.
Does anyone know if the bathtub could be plumbed off of the same wall the vanities on? It’s not a large bathroom and I’m trying to figure out how to make space work to include a bathtub. one option I think would be to get a much shorter vanity essentially chop off the last 3/4 of it and use that space for a bathtub. The shower is plumbed on the opposite wall of the vanity so I suppose there’s water sources at both sides, but the shower and toilet are next to each other, and I believe it cost a lot more to move a toilet. For this reason, I think the best option might be trying to have the faucet end of the tub go on the wall the sinks are on, and get a shorter vanity. Then the big issue is how they can add a drain. Ugh. |

| It will depend on which direction your joists are running. It can definitely be done but engineering to the stack will depend on the joists. Just get an estimate. |

| OP this isn’t going to happen without basically redoing the whole bathroom. Give up on the idea that you can just add it without huge expense. |
