small bathroom layout help
Hi, my family and I have moved to a small three bed property and the main bathroom is particularly small.
I was just wondering if anyone has any ingenious space saving solutions for this area as I’m struggling to get everything to fit without it being incredibly cramped .
I was thinking about having a 1200 bath with a shower over it to save some space but I’m concerned this will be both a terrible bath and a terrible shower!
Any suggestions would be very much a pprscited .

Small bathroom and small ensuite or large bathroom?
Comments (3)From what your describing we had the same thing going on,I didn't like the ensuite( too small) and the bathroom needed to be bigger,so we got rid of the ensuite and put a door between our bedroom and bathroom like a jack and Jill.After a while I felt it just didn't work so we closed up the wall and we now have one big bathroom.im glad we did it now. I too wondered if it would devalue the house and I'm sure if a larger family moved in it could be a bit of a problem,maybe someone from the real estate world will pop in and give you some advice. Good luck with whatever way you choose to go....See MoreHelp required for layout with small bathroom
Comments (6)Hi. You may not be able to move the soil pipe to move the loo. Is the missing corner the boxing in of the pipes? This is the duo tub by omnitub which measures 1050 x 1050 which is obviously set in the same width bathroom as yours. It may be worth exploring to see if it's an option. If not large tiles so the space doesn't look busy with grout lines and a huge mirror will help. A vanity unit on legs will also help to give a feeling of space if you manage to find one in that size. Good luck!...See MorePlease help me find the best layout for our small family bathroom

Comments (10)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 More

This is with a 1200mm shower enclosure (couldn't find bath option). Anything longer would feel cramped. 600mm space is quite tight for the wc.

Could you frame out the wall with the door and install a sliding pocket door?
I personally would just have a large shower enclosure rather than a bathtub. Either way, switching to a sliding pocket door will give you more room on the left side for a decent sized wall-hung vanity basin and wall-hung toilet.
Having the these floating off the floor will give the illusion of more floor space. Bespoke cabinets or shelving above the boxed in wall-hung toilet and then a mirror that spans the rest of the wall. - 5 months ago
Thanks so much for all the replies, it’s really very much appreciated. One last question, do you think it might work to have a small bathtub like this sandwich between the door and the right hand wall?

It will fit just about as you have 122 cm to play with. It depends on your requirements, if you need bath for your kids then this shall do. It won’t be functional once they grow.
