We want to turn this bathroom into 1 open room rather than 3 separate areas with doors.
A decent bath is essential as is a good size shower.
Only 1 vanity/sink needed.
Be glad of any suggestions!!

Hi Bronte,
This could work as a possible layout. Keeping plumbing in a similar position and removing all of the internal walls.

Comments (22)My bathroom is almost identical except for being only the length of the bath plus a couple of inches. I also have an outer cupboard in the same place. Rinq is right to utilise the cupboard for the bath. Mine has the electric meter in it so I can't. Your electric line for a socket can be used for a power shower/water pump. Moving the door to the left and as far onto the landing as possible without having to move the bedroom doors will maximise space for minimum effort. Separate the end of the bath from the toilet with a cupboard the size of a low bookcase. A door on the end will hide toilet rolls and cleaning gear. A blocked shelf at the top will take toiletries for the bath with nice plant above. No view of toilet from bath but with daylight. Shower over enclosed end will contain water spray if the bath slope allows for standing there. I've found a shower curtain works better than a screen. A sturdy laundry bin you can sit on is really helpful in confined space....See MoreBathroom Layout advice
Comments (13)If you're thinking of sticking with a freestanding bath with no screen or curtain around the shower, you are still creating a wet room. If that's what you want and you have the budget for it, it could work - but as I mentioned earlier wet rooms are expensive as you have to tank the room (as far as I understand it). I also personally don't like them because a lot of the floor gets wet and there are splashes everywhere - more cleaning and it's difficult to get dry! Maybe I've only experienced badly designed ones though... The other option would be to have a normal bath (not freestanding) with a screen, or a freestanding one with a screen or curtain (if you google you'll see a few examples). You can get clawfoot rolltop baths which look freestanding on the visible side but are actually fitted against the wall so that you can have a shower above them....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 MoreBathroom layout advice needed [HELP]
Comments (5)Would it be possible to move the door so you could gave a shower tray on the 120cm wall? Then you'd have plenty of room for the toilet and basin/vanity on the 170cm wall....See Morebigreader
