Would need to know where the toilet is currently, and if moveable. Presumably you are not trying to put a bath in. Would also need to allow for pipework for a basin, so actually it may be the length of the shower that may be the problem, not the width.

What is the distance between the wall and the window on either side?

I'm currently using the online IKEA 3D kitchen planner to do my bathroom layout, it's been quite handy in ruling out a few layouts so far. If you have stud walls, it may be worth considering a pocket door as well, to free up space. My bathroom is around the same size as yours, there's no way I'm fitting a bath and separate shower in there.

Yep no plans for a tub in this bathroom. This is actually the main bathroom on 1st floor but the 2nd floor (loft) will have the tub. I preferred to just have a bigger shower as that's what we mainly use. The tub on the 2nd floor is just so that it does not affect resale by not having a tub in the house.

The plan is to have the toilet adjacent to the shower and a basin on the wall opposite next to the window. The distance between the walls to window is approx 500mm. Because we are redoing the whole bathroom including all the plumbing it shouldn't be a problem for our builder to lay the pipework accordingly.

That's a very good point and in the 3D view it makes it clear. I don't like the look of the corner basin however so need to reassess. Glad I didn't buy anything yet. What other layout would you suggest in order to fit the 1200x800 (minimum size) shower. I prefer to have a sliding door shower instead of a quadrant one so seems that I am a bit limited.

Thanks for the suggestions. A 1000mm shower would probably not suit a sliding door however (entry width too small). I was trying to avoid a quadrant as I prefer the look of the rectangular enclosures. Perhaps a hinged door in a 900mm x 900mm space?

Unfortunately the Simpsons infold door looks too expensive for my budget! I've had a rethink around the layout and decided to go with the advice of putting the toilet against the back wall and the basin adjacent to the shower, as shown below. Couple of the decisions I'd appreciate help with:

1. My options are to go for a 900x900 hinged door or a 1200x800 (or 900) sliding door. I'd prefer sliding door because then I can open the door without the water falling onto the floor.

2. I preferred to have a stud wall instead of glass screen for the shower wall, that way I can have shelving for toiletries, towels etc. However that reduces the space as I'd need to account for a stud wall with tiles.

Layout below shows a 1200x800 shower with a 900mm basin. Would a 900m width shower still work here. Would I be able to squeeze a wall enclosure in or better to go with glass screen to save space?

Thanks again all!

Going by the plan above, i'm a little confused. Clearly the sliding door faces to the wall on the right, therefore, it is the length of the shower that should be in question not the width.

The sink at 900mm is far too large for the bathroom.

Either, have the stud wall at one end of the shower or the other, reduce the size of the sink and have room for the toiletries.

You can still fit in a 900 wide shower, it makes no odds if it's 900 or 800. It's the length that's the problem.

Alternatively the last option would be to have the 800mm wide shower with the 1200mm length and have the back wall built with niches for toiletries. These will however be constantly covered in water due to the shower head needing to be attached to that wall not the glass sliding doors as in the given illustration.

So, better to go for option one or two with the wall at one end or the other. Personally i like the wall at the end near the sink it gives more of an illusion of privacy.

The length of the room is 2.22m.

The shower length is 1.2m and stud wall (closer to the window) roughly 0.15m. If I go for a basin (the vanity type) at 0.8m that should fit?

There will be hardly any space left at all, that's with a 4" stud wall plus tiles. I'd go for a gap either side of the vanity to be on the safe side. If any of the existing walls are not perfectly square, then you'll encounter problems. Go smaller on the vanity would be my advice, but yes in theory it should all fit.

Hi Raiyan, it might be worth checking out my product which frees up the space as it is installed on the ceiling, only rolling down to provide protection when showering. It could offer you more flexibility and space and could offer a nice 'wet room' feel without the all the splashing or constant glass cleaning of a screen...

Hi Senspasce could you please show me a photo of your product ?

Thank you.
