OK, Roman baths were big because most of them were public baths, meaning that if there was a public bath site somewhere everyone could just go and take a bath there and lots of people went so they had to be pretty big.

How did the roman baths make things worse?

Roman baths did not, as the question implies make things "worse". Ancient Roman baths were built first in Rome and later became a part of all large Roman cities and in cities Rome conquered that were deemed large enough to have them. Wealthy Romans often had their own private baths. Many Roman cities and conquered ones had indoor plumbing fed by waters carried in from Roman built aqueducts. Public baths were in a sense part of Roman genius and part of Roman culture. Some of the baths were fed by natural spring waters. The baths in some places were so sophisticated that they were heated. The baths were ideal for Roman citizens who could not afford private ones. The baths served not only as a place to keep clean, but were also recreational and a place for people to gather and meet.
