Design help re super tiny bathroom
Hi,
I'm planning to renovate my tiny bathroom and would love to pick the brains of fellow Houzz lurkers. It's currently a wet bathroom with toilet and sink but I'd like to add a bath as there isn't one at the moment (my home is a 3 bed Edwardian semi-D). I think I'd be able to go for the 160cm bath with a wall hung toilet and sink to give the illusion of space. Do you think it would work? See attached plan for dimensions. How else could I do it? Thanks for your help.

TINY Bathroom need help!
Comments (16)Hello Tom, There are many Bathrooms out there that are smaller than yours. You are right, you could definitely add something to it, redesign it and make it look bigger. Everything is possible! If I was you I would not remove the bath. Just as others said some people may feel more attracted to have a bath and not a shower only. After all you can still ad a showered and have 2 in 1. When you add a mirror and pick light colours you can definitely make your Bathroom look more spacious. Light installation is also a great idea to make your space look bigger. Have you considered changing the layout for your Bathroom? Good luck with your Project!...See MoreHelp with re designing out bathroom shower
Comments (1)Are you wanting to only replace the shower or re-design the entire bathroom? To replace the shower, the toilet and radiator are too close to appreciate having a walk-in shower without the floor getting very wet. If you don't mind the radiator getting wet, then you could potentially replace the shower tray with a rectangle one and have a wet shower panel on the side where the toilet is and walk in from the radiator side. However, a plumber will be able to determine the extent of the work to make it possible. You have another radiator next to toilet? Is it possible to remove the towel radiator? and add electric underfloor heating if the other radiator doesn't give off enough heat?...See MoreTiny bathroom advice needed :)
Comments (2)Apart from the door position, my bathroom is about your size and layout and has a dual shower with drencher head above the bath. It doesn't look weird and I've had plenty of compliments! You've also got a higher ceiling than me so it should look much better. Most importantly, they are really nice to use. I say go for it. Regarding the towel rail, I went for a wall mounted one to make best use of the limited floor space. Just an idea. I've included a couple of photos so you can see what the shower might look like in a room your size. Please excuse the poor camera quality....See MoreTiny Bathroom help needed
Comments (10)We have a bathroom that originally was about 1.72.2, with a bath but we wanted to fit in a bidet (we're Italians 😅). The layout was similar, and the additional 30 cm can be disregarded if you're not interested in a bidet 😁 we took some space from the room next door to get a shower nook, maybe you can do something similar, see photo! (Of course leave the WC where it is now, which would be in place of my bidet). We moved the basin to the left, the nook is 50cm deep which makes a short area of about 12085cm, very comfortable! I'll make a quick plan to make things clearer, but I thought it could be interesting to see a real space and not just a rendering...See More

PRO7 years agoHi
You need to check re soil pipe - my opinion is that it is best to keep the WC as close to the soil pipe as possible to avoid unnecessary problems. You may want to opt for a free standing bath which would add glamour to the room - you can find various sizes (see link below just for an idea)https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/1650-x-750-luxury-modern-double-ended-curved-freestanding-bath
Or Back to wall 1500x750 https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/orion-1500-x-750mm-small-back-to-wall-modern-square-bath?campaign=googlebase&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqIDjyp7Z3gIVVOJ3Ch1BiQfcEAQYBCABEgLdzfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
An Offset bath may allow some more flexiblity in the room as the space is rather tight. See https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/carron-quantum-spacesaver-offset-bath-1700mm-750mm-left-handed-5mm-acrylic-q4-02179?utm_source=google&utm_medium=Shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwerA-Z_Z3gIVyeR3Ch0ZdQQSEAQYBSABEgKlufD_BwEand
A Slimline vanity or floating shelf with a narrow but long basin could be an option https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/valencia-995mm-black-ash-wall-hung-basin-unit?campaign=googlebase&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwb6Fn6PZ3gIVWOJ3Ch0mGwqEEAQYAiABEgIJa_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
You have to find a compact wall hung WC to ensure that there's as much room as possible.
I have done two sketches - and have specifically kept away from putting the bath under the window due to soil pipe.
I have proposed that you open the door outwards or maybe consider changing to a folding door as per images below

I don't think Design Angels plan will work, as you need to keep the soil pipe where it is, or as close as possible.
To give the most floorspace possible. I would go with a 700mm x 1700mm slimline bath, such as this one from Victorian plumbing
LInk to bath on Victorian Plumbing.
I'd then go for a 900mm wide Vanity with toilet in the middle. If you place the toilet in the middle and the sink on the left, you should have enough wall above the basin for a mirror, ( hopefully ).The shower then goes over the bath on the far wall and thus as you walk in, you have the illusion of space.
If you tile the floor and the walls in pale neutral tones , or use the same tiles for floor and walls, it will also add to the feeling of space.
You may need to have the shower at the other end of the bath due to the window, but that's easy enough.

This was the look we went for in the end. In hindsight we should have gone for a wall-hung toilet but we were conscious of keeping costs down.
