You might be able to replace the bleached carpet area with a piece from inside a closet (easier to replace carpet in a closet with a similar new piece of carpet, or pergo-type flooring- not as noticeable). The cost of the repair can be deducted, but a whole new carpet is iffy due to depreciation, and temper-mentality of local Judges. As to the tub enclosure, some are now made from solid surface materials such as Corian. It may be possible to buff out the stain with a VERY fine grit sandpaper. You may want a more experienced eye to look at it first.
