I changed my smaller bathroom to a shower room, so removed bath, added shower enclosure and new loo and basin, new tiling and new flooring. There was some new pipework for the shower and the basin that we moved, as well as a shower pump. The total came to just under £6000.

I personally wouldn't consider free standing unless you have space all around it (otherwise you are getting the worst of both worlds)- you then have to think about floor standing tap. To me practicality outweighs design in a bathroom unless you have the budget to achieve both :) think about where your towel is for when you get out - where are the toiletries going to sit to be accessible, or candles etc if you want to luxuriate, what is your view when you are lying there....pillow for the neck - a lot have really sharp edges!

I have my washing machine in a cupboard in my bathroom and in your new proposed plan I don’t think you’ll potentially have enough space to comfortably load the washing machine front on without banging yourself on the sink. The original position of the cupboard I think is better (I have mine in a similar position in relation to bathroom door etc) also which way is your washing machine door hinged? If it’s hinged on the left like mine you’ll have even less room to load in the new proposed position. Try to hinge the cupboard door the same side as the washing machine too. Jonathan’s plan looks like a good plan to me and I’d have proposed similar :)

Sounds great, go for it. Once the bath is the other way around, the room will feel less long and narrow as the floor space will be more square (or more short and wide rectangle really). Keep the floor on the lighter side and paint the walls and ceiling the same light colour and it'll also feel more spacious too. You could paint the built-in cupboard the same/similar colour to the walls so that it disappears visually and doesn't seem like a huge thing facing you when you first go in - get it painted in white undercoat first and see how it feels before deciding on final colour. But I'd definitely do the blue toilet/basin unit if you love that colour - it's a very easy colour to work with and it'll be nice to have something a solid colour. Another option is to go colourful/dark on the walls/ceiling as well as units and embrace the fact that it's a small room where you can be more bold with design choices. Keep tiles the same white as your toilet/bath/sink to keep it simple and then you can change paint colour without worrying about what you've chosen as tiles.

Shower and Bath Screen
Q

Hello we are planning a bathroom renovation and I'm looking for some assistance with showers. We are based in the UK. we will be getting a shower over bath and the bath will be situated flat against the far wall of the room, so against 2 external walls and 1 internal wall. However only one of those external walls, at the typical tap end of the bath, can be used to fix a shower due to the location of a large window. We have a Combi Boiler but our flow rate isn't amazing; about 8.5 litres per min from the bath tap, and circa 7 litres per min from the shower head both at shower temperature. We currently have a bath/shower mixer. We would like to get the best possible shower experience we can within our flow rate limitations. We're not fussed about a thermostatic shower because only adults live in the house. From my research this seems to lead back to another bath/shower mixer. However if anyone has any alternative ideas then please let me know. in terms of brand we're thinking Grohe / Hansgrohe etc. Something good quality which will last. Also we're only looking for a hand shower. We won't be needing a rainfall overhead shower due to lack of ceiling height to be able to fix it at a decent enough height for my tall husband. Does anyone have any specific shower recommendations based upon our parameters or any other brands to recommend so that we can narrow our focus? We will also be having a glass bath screen and I'm thinking maybe Matki- although we're open to other suggestions. We want something which is good quality and easy to clean (i.e. not too many nooks and crannies to get dirty!). Because we're having a bath screen and due to the location of the vanity unit (i.e. relatively close to the edge of the bath) I'm concerned about the ease of reaching taps to turn on the shower to get the water to shower temperature before stepping in. Is there any way we can get a shower with the controls easily accessible? if this is something we want to investigate would our only option be a digital shower or are there other plumbing solutions? Thank you all in advance for your advice and recommendations.
