Bathroom layout

Firstly a big fat SORRY because I've posted about this god-awful bathroom before (also sorry for the messy picture and the ikea book case which is lumbered in there too) and all responses have been great.. so thanks. After going around in circles with various layouts, I've come to the conclusion that I'd prefer to leave toilet on the wall it's currently on because this is external and saves a lot of work (and money) to move to an internal wall.
My though it to leave sink/toilet on end wall but swap the two. I think maybe a nice large sink/vanity area, possible with a wall hung toilet would look neat and tidy.
Because of this, the bath tub also needs to stay in its current position and unfortunately there's not space for a separate shower area.
As such, here are my questions:
1) leaving bath in its current position, should I replace with a freestanding tub or with a nice tiled built in one? What would look best in that position?
2) I'd need to fit a shower above the tub. If it's a freestanding tub (I think I prefer a freestanding tub) what are my options for shower screens? Sorry I hate shower curtains so want to avoid them
3) finally.... can anyone think of a better layout than this one? Be aware, nothing can go along left hand side (opposite tub) as there's a loft hatch which needs to remain accessible)

Bathroom layout advice please
Comments (4)Hello Iveta! The concept photo looks great, and we have created some very similarly inspired bathrooms here at Bathroom Eleven. If you are a London, Surrey or South-West local, perhaps we can be of assistance in turning your dream bathroom into a reality? We specialise in designing and creating luxury bathrooms. I agree that keeping the WC between the basins and the screen area is probably the better idea, so that there is a nice feature when you first walk in. I would be careful with engineered wood and perhaps consider looking at wood effect porcelain tiles - Porcelanosa have a great range. I hope we can help - drop us an email at info@bathroomeleven.co.uk if you would be interested in discussing a design appointment! Kind Regards, Bathroom Eleven Team...See MoreWhich Bathroom layout?
Comments (9)@H A The window is on the right hand wall( which is external wall) so the toilet needs to be close to it, otherwise gets a little tricker to fit, also with the window makes it more awkward to have bath on same wall....See MoreBathroom layout
Comments (9)Measurements would help. You look to be making the most of a smallish space so well done. I’m not a fan of quadrant showers as they tend to be hard to clean and restrictive. I have a similar layout in a bathroom put in a wetroom with Merlin shower doors that fold back when not in use. Great use of space. Also I don’t see a radiator in the space so are you planning on underfloor heating. I think a heated towel rack is always useful in a bathroom. Extraction is also important to avoid mould. Best of luck with the project....See MoreAlternative bathroom layouts?
Comments (5)Hi Jayne, We have just last week helped someone who was also struggling with the layout in their bathroom. We had a video call with her to discuss the possible layouts and bounce around ideas. This was all done during our Power Hour. We do not design bathrooms but we can suggest an overall concept and look at things like tiles and decorative accessories. We look forward to hearing from you - Becky...See MoreSarah Chalker

6 years agoHi, you don't give the dimensions of the room but it looks a good size with plenty of options. I'm guessing approx 2m x 3.4m?
There are a couple of layouts I could see working:
1). Leave the wc where it is, put the bath with shower over in the corner where the sink is now and have a lovely vanity unit where the bath is at the moment.
2) again, leaving the wc where it is, put a shower in the corner where the basin is currently, a slightly smaller but deeper freestanding tub in the middle of that long wall, and a smaller vanity as you come in the door.
The shower I'm thinking of is just a slim tray with an 'easy access' screen - one of those with a flipper on the end..
The sketches are not to scale but give a better idea of what I'm suggesting. Good luck!
