Hi there. Can you post a couple more photos or a sketch of the room so that we can see what the rest of the space is like. Thanks.

If the room is only 1.8mtrs you will struggle to get a freestanding bath of a standard size to fit and look right. Standard length baths are 1.7mtrs and with only 10 cms left around the bath it will look cramped and be very difficult to get around to clean. Think about going for a shorter bath that is deep enough to sit in like a slipper type of bath and have a shorter one 1.6 would be better but ideally 1.5mtr long bath.

The previous comment is right about the soil. You need to know where that can go first and if it can only go out on the window wall then this is also going to make the room narrower.

If any of the other walls are external and the stack could go on there that would be better but you don't really want a soil stack on a visible wall from the front of the house.

Hope this helps

Vicky

I think I would still put in a smaller shower and because you are limited for space I would forget the walk-in shower idea, it just ends up taking up more space for what is, essentially, a drying area within the shower base. I would still use the fold-back shower doors so that you can use that space when you are not showering if you can get that level access look.

The bath shown I think is far too big for the space. You will struggle to clean around it. It is much easier with a freestanding bath if you can get a mop around it. I have been designing bathrooms for nearly 19 years and I have seen many people like yourself insisting on a freestanding bath and having it fitted to discover that it is not right in the space.

Hope this helps, for freestanding baths UK Bathroom Brands are about to start a massive sale and some of their baths are at 50% discount.

I think you will regret cramming so much in and recommend having either a walk in shower or a bath with a shower over it - and adding a loo. I suspect you were trying to avoid a shower over a bath but it's a huge space saver and, with a glass swing door instead of a curtain, can look sleek and makes the room seem larger. Get as long a glass door as you can to reduce/eliminate water splashing everywhere. Otherwise, is there another small room/space in the house where you could put a shower? Is the space where the loo is big enough for a shower? If you go for a bath with shower over it, I'd put the bath beside the door and move the basin towards the window. I'd put the loo at that end, too. Buy a Venetian blind that you can close completely when using the loo or showering/bathing or just want privacy.

Another thought, if your separate loo is next to the bathroom you could merge the two. The house I live in had that layout and most of my neighbours have merged the two spaces. However, I wanted to keep an extra loo so I've turned the bath/basin room into a walk-in shower, basin and loo and love it. However, I do have the added advantage of a floor above and I've turned a small slot in the eaves into a bathroom with bath, basin loo and only a hand-held shower on the taps for cleaning the bath.

I had a TINY bathroom with no space for a shower cubicle but put a free standing bath in it and got a local blacksmith to make me a shower rail (with ceiling fixings in appropriate positions) to enable the bath to be a shower as well. I changed the curtains regularly when I wanted a revamp! Not perhaps what you want but nothing wrong with 'thinking outside the box' (or shower enclosure)...

How about an offset quadrant shower and change the hinges on the door to
the other side? Creates a feeling of space and doesn't cramp the basin.

I have a small bathroom and recently changed it into a shower room as I am a little disabled and clambering in and out of a bath was becoming so difficult,. We had a quadrant shower cubicle 900 x 900 installed with sliding doors. It is fabulous and plenty big enough. They really are space saving. I wanted a walk in shower but they were huge, much bigger than the bath footprint so not an option. We ordered all our goods from a proper plumbers merchant. You get a much bigger range of sizes and styles than you would at the usual DIY stores. One warning - beware of the cheap online bathroom suppliers - they are cheap for a reason and customer service can be poor. Showers for £199 are NOT the same quality as a £400 one. Just my experience. I wish you lots of luck with your refurb.

Well done! It looks great. More importantly, I suspect, you have that wonderful feeling that comes from knowing it is all new and fresh and installed by you. I love that stage; it lasts for ages, too.

Wow! Looks amazing!

Have you thought about the toilet

I agree, Es. And how long it takes. I'm still in the muddle middle of a major renovation. Like you I've rewired and replumbed, put in central heating (there wasn't any) and new everything (bathroom, shower room, kitchen) and I was PM too. I'm not sure I'd do it again but as I've said this twice before and ignored it, who knows! The Amazing feeling lasts a long time, I find. I hope it does with you, too. Well done on living through it!

Looking fab! I love a bit of drama and making a statement in a part of the house that is often ignored but so often used. Double height! That means expensive!

I’m so sorry I’m just seeing this! It’s a wet room area.

Es, is that the same room? 🙂

Looking great.

Ha yes! The magic of a near full wall mirror reflected on glass and sandwiched inbetween a window. Seriously, a few years later, it’s held up and still Looks very new. Delighted!

It looks so much bigger. Amazing transformation!
