I have a small bathroom 150 x 240cm and I want remodel it. My problem is that I want to take out the bath and install a shower in its place, the trouble is there is a window the whole width of the wall.
Is this a stupid idea to a window in the shower cubical?

Comments (36)Hi Senspasce and thank you my husband works for a large tile manufacturer and the tiles where purchased on slight seconds and a great tiler who works all over the world did the tiling beautifully. The design was copied from the company brochure so I knew it was foolproof design in its day which was over 20yrs ago so not done so bad really certainly had my moneys worth. The window is very heavily obsurced glass with leaded design so does not need blinds which cannot be fitted as casement to window is not deep enough I have had curtain treatment on expandable rod but like the light and openness. I prefer a bath we use to have shower on bracket with a shower curtain when I had new mixer and taps I did away with them to open the room up and getaway from water mold building up we use bath mat on floor when showering and not a problem with no screen a lot less cleaning too never a problem without them....See MoreBathroom Ideas for Small Bathroom
Comments (3)If you shop for a space saving toilet there should be plenty of room for a full sized basin on the same wall. A p shaped bath would also give you a little more room at the shower end....See MoreSmall bathroom layout ideas and good bathroom brands
Comments (9)Both Hansgrohe and (Friedrich) Grohe are German companies; Friedrich was a son of Hans who went on his own in the 1930s, so they share a certain heritage. These days, Grohe is larger and no longer family owned. Both produce outside Germany as well as on their original German sites still. Both produce "basic" and "high-end" ranges. They're both regarded well back home in Germany, much of the choice is down to personal preference. Hansgrohe is on average slightly more expensive (but not on everything). They also own the Axor design brand which has a more "ecletic" selection. One can mix-and-match; in our bath (bit messy, sorry - we're using it for the washing up while waiting for the kitchen to be installed), the mixer is Grohe as is the shower wall outlet, the shower rail and head shower arm (just above the shower screen) are Hansgrohe pieces. At least the chromed finishes are very close for the two: Both can be sourced well below retail list prices - if you're prepared to wait, German online sellers for bathroom goods tend to have many-months delivery timelines. For Grohe essentials (the classical Grotherm mixers) at least, any German DIY shop stocks these at very attractive prices (the difference to the UK retail price list will pay for the ferry ticket and fuel)....See MoreSmall bathroom solution needed, please help
Comments (6)Could you maybe move the ensuite shower into the master bedroom and steal a little from the study for a vanity, to give you a free standing shower in the main bathroom? you would have a bigger ensuite but might want to steal wardrobe space from bedroom 2....See Moreclaire morgan

Maybe something like this would be a good idea - I prefer the second picture as it still lets light into your bathroom but without others seeing you in the shower.

6 years agoHi
We installed showers next to windows for our clients just as you are thinking of doing. As long as the tiles are correctly installed around the sill and all is water tight there is no need to remove the window or to go without a shower in this area.
Just make sure you use a qualified tiler/wetroom specialist.
