Please critique my awkward bathroom layout
The room is 290cm x 160cm
it has two windows (the thick black bits)
i definitely want a full size bath so it will have to be an over the bath shower. That's fine. But the issue is the windows and having the shower head right next to one
i can't move the loo because of the position of the soil pipe. So the only solution I can think of is to have the shower head and valve in the middle of the bath a shower per attached photo. There will still be a window but it's not immediately adjacent to it
any comments on this set up or an alternative would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

7 years agoHow about having a freestanding bath and making a feature of the overhead shower? I presume you would need to make it a wet room but it would look amazing!
Another thought do you actually need 2 windows? Couldn't you just block up the window above the bath and have the shower there (and change it for some built in shelves)

Need help with my bathroom layout
Comments (14)Switching the sink and loo seems a good idea to give you a fantastic vanity area with storage above to reduce the clutter. Since your entrance door is angled it won’t be the first thing seen on entry. Your idea of removing the air vent from the window - what is the plan for it’s replacement? It’s doing an important job of dehumidifying the room and a replacement will be required to maintain the pristine ceiling and grout! We recently refurbished a downstairs loo - lots of fantastic independent bathroom showrooms here in Hertfordshire. We had amazing ideas suggested to us ( some with amazing prices). We used the concepts from the very expensive design ideas with slightly less pricey option. We would not have thought of these ideas without the help of the experts, and they identified snags in our initial design that would affect the surface lines and finish that we didn’t know existed!...See MoreSmall bathroom layout please help!

Comments (30)Hi guys, I am back again with a bathroom query, I have an image attached. I really don't like the current layout for this bathroom and I'm thinking if we move the toilet to the wall on the left under the sink and put the bathroom vanity where the toilet currently is so that this is the first thing the person sees when the door is open. Do you think this works? Again advice is hugely appreciated. I honestly had no idea finalising bathrooms would be so difficult, and the support I have received on Houzz has been the best of any professional I have met so far so thank you all! Any questions please do let me know!...See MoreBathroom layout advice please!
Comments (7)I think as long as the wc boxing is the same height as the hall height tiles it will all blend and look quite clean. found this pic on pinterest, I know it’s full height tiles and all same tiles but might help visualise how the boxing will look next to shower there’s a free 3d design app i used when doing my bathroom called visoft smart, you can put in all different boxings and different sections of tiles etc, would highly recommend if you’re handy with design programmes, if not let me know and if i get time this evening or over the weekend i’ll do a quick mock-up of your shower/toilet area for you...See MoreBathroom layout ideas please!
Comments (4)I don’t think the current plan would work well. The gap between shower & bath is too small to be useful & will just be awkward to clean. Plus the shower enclosure stocked out in the way of the sink. I’d put the shower on the opposite side where the toilet is now. Rotate the bath 90 degrees so that it’s along the wall & go for a short bath so you can put the toilet on the same wall....See More

7 years agoI think that you can feed into your existing soil pipe by having a soil pipe that exists the wc at the side and then bends down into the cemented position of the original.
Personally I would box in this corner which also means there will be a cavity for all of the shower pipework.
Lastly I think a P shaped bath could be considered

7 years agoPersonally I have previously used a victorian shower rail where budget was a major factor and space prevented any other options really. I bought this one from Victoria Plumbing. Please find pictures below.
When researching options you can get corner glass shower screens which look lovely but are more expensive. I ruled these out for us because of the height of our ceiling.
Jonathan's idea however is definitely the ideal budget permitting.
All the best.
