the toilet is on the wall above the bath with the door in the top right corner. We are limited on where we can put the shower due to windows on the wall to the left. Thanks WestWest it is good to here that there is limited splashing with the 30cm folding panel. i thin with adjustment in the main panel the opening into the shower will be 50cm which is tight as you say but is hopefully manageable.

Hi, so we went for a 1600x800 tray with a glass panel 900 wide. That leaves an opening 700 and it looks great. I think a smaller opening, even with the bath positioned as it is, would feel too small. However we do get lots of splash on the floor. It's ok but a less soggy mat would be better. I'm good at being awear of this. My wife however thinks we have a wet room. I think a 1100 screen would pretty much stop all splash (but would need a longer tray as the 700 opening would look a bit small) and also a wider tray would obviously help slightly as the shower rose would be a fraction further from the opening. I'll add a photo, but excuse the mess! I still need to install the tiled bath and shower base panels

You should used a preformed tray under your tiles which has a slope built in towards the drain. This will help the water to flow back towards the drain. Water is always going to splash outside the opening and you can put down a bath mat to step out onto which will catch the excess. Ultimately it depends how much the water annoys you. You could start off without a screen and then add one later if it proves to be a problem.

Hi Clare, your house is amazing, all these beautiful period features!! :-) Polished interiors have made some great suggestions, I am just adding a few more ideas to the mix. Apologies in advance if this will just confuse you.... I know you considered Metro tiles and these can look great in bathrooms. The fun with these is that you can play around with different laying patters (herringbone, chevron, brick style) which will all give a unique look and add some interest: Annoyingly builders often recommend large tiles for bathroom, which is frustrating in my opinion. You absolutely do not have to worry about small tiles making the bathroom look even smaller. As a matter of fact, I feel that smaller tiles will suit the style of your home much better. An alternative to consider to metro tiles, would be glazed tiles, such as zellige tiles. You could stick with white, or there are some beautiful neutral shades available, with subtle undertones of greys, greens or pinks, which would all compliment your home beautifully. I have attached a few images. As you can see the play with light is stunning and adds colour, depth and shades while still remaining neutral. The "imperfection" of these tiles go well with a period home, and you won't need to worry too much about cleaning, as they tiles themselves are already "uneven". I would go with patterned tiles for the floor as previously suggested to add interest. Y ou could try something a bit less standard by going with something like these, which you could also use on the shower walls and behind the vanity too instead of the metro or zellige tiles. It would give a very unique and interesting look: Personally, I would avoid wood effect tiles in your bathroom, as it won't be a match to your existing wooden floors anyway. If the above pattern is really not your style though, then I think a concrete style look would great with the marble vanity top and the zellige (glazed tiles): One last idea, which I think you will either love or hate, is considering a neutral terrazo floor with zellige wall tiles: In terms of a mirror, I would bring in some warmth and/or contrast by choosing a rustic brass looking one, an industrial looking black one, or depending on what tiles you go for even an ornate vintage mirror. If you like any of these ideas, I would be more than happy to create a proper moodboard and once we agreed on a style you like, I could provide with you a 3D render of the room, to help you visualise your choices before you committ. This will be quite time consuming on my part though, so I would need to charge for this service... Best of luck - I am sure whatever you go for, it will look amazing. Tessy :-)
