Shower needs to go between the wall on the right and the new wall being built on the left.

Fitting a new bathroom.. Ramsgate
Comments (11)I would say you are definitely doing the right thing by taking down the wall in between and making one larger bathroom - this is the way things are going at the moment and it will update your home plus fit in with modern living. I would also strongly suggest you go along to one of the big high street DIY stores and ask for a consultation with the bathroom designer. This is usually free (they are hoping you will buy supplies from them) but you don't have to buy from them or be committed in any way. Loads of people do this everyday and even as a designer (although not bathrooms) I have recently done this, with kitchen ideas as well! They are trained to see the best layout ideas and work within your budget as well as how you see the bathroom style etc. Take along the pics you have and any tile ideas, fittings etc. Have a look at their brochures before the consultation and pick out what styles/colours/fitments you like. Take along a drawing of your bathroom and shower room to scale as it is now and put in where the services are - soil pipe, hot and cold water pipes etc (the soil pipe is especially important) - this will enable them to do it via the most economical options for layout/less building work etc. Honestly, this is the way most people I know approach bathroom or kitchen design these days, without commitment but getting an experienced eye on things, go to several and see which you prefer overall. They will cost it up for you, but you can give their plans to a plumber to do himself, (he can buy parts from them and quote you) or you can buy it all from elsewhere/change what you like/don't like. This route gives you the most flexibility too, I wish you the very best of luck with your project....See MoreGlass instead of tiles on shower walls?
Comments (21)We have an independent bathroom company near to where we live. We spent hours looking on line at different products until we were so confused with it all. We picked a Darryl shower cabinet in the end, priced up on line and then visited the local showroom to see if they would price match - they matched the price on line and gave us a really great deal. We have a rain shower and it is fab, it's not electric, just runs off the hot and cold pipes. We got our bath from the Cast Iron bath company when they had a sale on. It's worth gathering together all the items you would like to purchase and then just asking for the cheapest price from everyone, as you can see, we got a good price but still gave the business to our local showroom. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask...See MoreWhat size shower will fit in my bathroom
Comments (17)Going by the plan above, i'm a little confused. Clearly the sliding door faces to the wall on the right, therefore, it is the length of the shower that should be in question not the width. The sink at 900mm is far too large for the bathroom. Either, have the stud wall at one end of the shower or the other, reduce the size of the sink and have room for the toiletries. You can still fit in a 900 wide shower, it makes no odds if it's 900 or 800. It's the length that's the problem. Alternatively the last option would be to have the 800mm wide shower with the 1200mm length and have the back wall built with niches for toiletries. These will however be constantly covered in water due to the shower head needing to be attached to that wall not the glass sliding doors as in the given illustration. So, better to go for option one or two with the wall at one end or the other. Personally i like the wall at the end near the sink it gives more of an illusion of privacy....See MoreCan we fit a downstairs bathroom on this floorplan?
Comments (11)@ManAboutTheHouse Thanks got the comment. I agree about moving the staircase, that would complicate things. There isn't standing height under the current (stupid) staircase, so I don't think we could put a toilet under there as it is. We're pretty sure the drain runs from the back of the house down the porch side, but obviously we need to confirm this. Current porch extends out 1.02m, wouldn't want an extension to come out any further than this because we'd like to keep the 80cm side access to the garden. It's 2.36m wide and we could go up to another 2m either way, giving us at least 6m, if we wanted. I'll attach a google earth image, so you can see the house in its surroundings. The deeds say we have to maintain the green landscaping to the front, so that's a no go area. Back garden is tiny, so also a no go area....See More

3 years agoLol, the front door will be bricked up, it's part of a larger extension!
The tray size isn't the issue it's that we don't want a sliding door. We really just want a walk in one but not sure if a) it's big enough or b) what size glass we would need.
Failing that we would have to have a opening door.
We really want one like the first pic but with only 1200mm size is this possible?

3 years agoWalls on three sides and if the shower tray is 1200*900 access via the 1200 bit which would be facing the front (see pics). Here is the plan - it's the cloaks bit.

3 years agoHi, Another option would be to have a 2 way bifold glass screen as image shown. Gives you more access space than a slider and you will have no issues keeping the water in.

3 years agoHi, I hope this helps. My customer also did not want a slider on a 1200mm shower tray so we suggested this layout and they were extremely happy.

3 years agoI've trawled builders merchants and seen a number of options. One we are toying with is a hinged door, so kind of like this pic. However, we are still keen on a walk in and it confuses us even more when we see things like this - our exact measurements and set up, three walls and our entry needed along the 1200 size. The screen is listed as 800 so it's a 400 gap. Perhaps they have fudged the pics on Victoria Plumb.https://victoriaplum.com/product/orchard-6mm-walk-in-glass-panel-with-stone-shower-tray?options=size|1200_x_800mm
