Need help with Small Bathroom please.
Hi, Would like to change the layout of our small bathroom. Its a typical 3 - bed modern detached house, the bathroom is only 2005 x 1950 cms. Because I have severe forms of Arthritis we had the bath taken out 8 years ago and had a shower cubicle installed, along with a new toilet and a wall hung basin, all good quality fittings. I was not able to get over the side of the bath apart from not being able to sit in it. However, in the last few years I have had 2 knee and 1 hip replacement, The main reason for changing the bathroom now though is to put value back back into the property i.e. making the house appeal to a wider range of buyers, (we may sell in a year or two). We have done everything else to the house.
The floor would come up and was thinking of a combination unit of w.c. and basin which would be fitted to the right of the picture, next to soil stack, a sliding door instead of the present opening one and then a 1500 mm bath would go on the left. These drawings are not to scale of course and are quite rough, I have done a scale drawing and a bath would fit. There is presently a lot of unused space, but ........
do you think its not a great idea to cram so much into a small space as this? can it be done do you think?
And if there are any fitters who could estimate a ball park cost for the conversion (not including the bath and combination unit ) I would be extremely grateful
Thanks

Small bathroom and small ensuite or large bathroom?
Comments (3)From what your describing we had the same thing going on,I didn't like the ensuite( too small) and the bathroom needed to be bigger,so we got rid of the ensuite and put a door between our bedroom and bathroom like a jack and Jill.After a while I felt it just didn't work so we closed up the wall and we now have one big bathroom.im glad we did it now. I too wondered if it would devalue the house and I'm sure if a larger family moved in it could be a bit of a problem,maybe someone from the real estate world will pop in and give you some advice. Good luck with whatever way you choose to go....See MoreNeed help with our small bathroom
Comments (25)I wouldn't change much regarding the layout/placement of white goods either. But it'd be possible to get some extra. For example, an L- or P-shaped shower bath would get a nicer shower space. You'd end up with the wider part by the window though so may then also consider opaque glazing or a screen there. A concealed cistern in the back wall would bring that forward by around 10cm. If you don't want to loose all that space, a boxed-in cistern and shelves above may give you a little storage back. On the washing machine: you triggered my inner geek :-) This may be possible. You need to research a few things for this: A) a slim depth washing machine (usually 425mm) B) availability of a height reduction kit for it (if these are avail gets height down from 850mm to 800mm) C) use an extra-flat bottle trap for the basin D) partly embed that into a thin washtable (to make the surface then a total of ~100mm above the machine) If all these go together it should just be possible to fit washtable, drains, basin trap and the machine underneath into a box about 910x600x500mm (HxWxD) which is kitchen unit height. The countertop sink would sit above that. Maybe a little bit of extra space could be gained still if you'd construct a basin from a flat shower tray with an integrated trap (a Wedi fundo plano is 60mm high) but I'm not sure how to put the washing machine drain on then. Good luck!...See MorePlease help me find the best layout for our small family bathroom

Comments (16)Nessaj have you thought about the style, an overall look, of your new bathroom? From our experience that impacts the design very much. For example, if you’d like to have a more traditional, victorian style, than a big freestanding slipper bath would be the focal point and everything else would have to be designed around it. And on the other hand, if you like a more contemporary feel, then a big wet room enclosure form wall to wall would be the main feature. And all of that dictates the arrangement on the floorplan. We’d be happy to help you if you could tell us more about how your dream bathroom would look like.
