It would be a gravel pit with a flagstone on top to stand on.

I thought I'd update everyone as to what we settled on as most of you won't have seen the finished post. Went went for Little Greene French Pale Grey on the walls and then a Grey Quartz worktop which had worked quite well. To stop it from being clinical, we opted for some textured wallpaper in the dining area which is Bala Storm (I think) from John Lewis. We then added some natural tones using a wooden table, and then Vitra chairs. Along with wooden fruit bowl etc. The main window will have wooden venetian blinds, and the bay windows will probably be done in a darker grey material as the perfect fit style blinds you find in conservatories

Thank you all so much for your input. Really do appreciate it. (AS - unfortunately the loo has to be on the side nearest the riser that holds the waste pipes - but thank you for taking the time to do the plan). I should probably have mentioned that the shower will be a rainfall one and the pressure isn't great - so it's not a really powerful shower that would definitely flood. What I am looking into now is perhaps a slightly recessed shower tray - harder for water to go up right?! rather than ugly built up sides. A bit like this image bit recessed shallow tray.

You should used a preformed tray under your tiles which has a slope built in towards the drain. This will help the water to flow back towards the drain. Water is always going to splash outside the opening and you can put down a bath mat to step out onto which will catch the excess. Ultimately it depends how much the water annoys you. You could start off without a screen and then add one later if it proves to be a problem.

Hi Clare, Looking at the image, there certainly isn't a huge amount of space from top of tile to bottom of window. But that, to my mind, isn't a particularly convincing "excuse" - that would suggest the contractor has done what was easiest, cheapest and most expedient for him, rather than reprofiling the sill to do a more professional job. Again, I would have expected any contractor to flag that during the build before tiling. That would have given you an opportunity to discuss the pros & cons of the different approaches and make a decision. If it were unforeseen and only came to light once the room was stripped out, I would have felt it reasonable for the contractor (if done at that stage) to request a small additional payment to cover a little more labour and any minor materials, had you indicated a desire to have more of a slope or to perhaps have had a solid sill installed. But puddling at the back of the sill really isn't ideal. The other aspect that leaves me suspicious is that it looks as though the sill has been set at a height whereby there is an exact number of WHOLE tiles in height from resting on your shower tray to the bottom of the sill. It is most unusual that spacing falls like that! Normally I would expect to see the tiles lust below the window trimmed around it. It may be the contractor couldn't be bothered to do so, so has packed UP the window sill - again a short cut - but you could not know this without taking it apart. And it just might have been the tiler got lucky and everything aligned perfectly...
