We are still working on our new house, there is currently a bath with a glass half screen that is totally useless. The water bounces off whoever is showering past the screen and over the toilet, the floor, the ceiling, and it's only a half tiled wall so the wallpaper is peeling. I've considered the P or d shaped baths which give a larger section at one end in which to stand when using the shower and I've seen there are matching curved glass screens to go with them. Two points to consider. 1. If you are not planning on staying a shower could be a good selling point, the water saving of a shower versus a bath. Our last bath hardly saw a look in during 16 years and although it was a lovely deep double ended steel bath it gathered dust and the shower was definately the go-to choice. 2. I am now considering the usability of the bathroom for an elderly relative who has had a stroke, likes baths, but may not be able to get into, or out of one, with dignity intact. I'm thinking that a large walk in shower with additional wall jets could be a good option and the upscale could be a wow factor. Although you may not be in the same position you can never have enough forward planning.

Hi ianthy. Thank you! It was approx. £5,500 on fittings, tiles, lights, etc, plus bathroom fitter and design.

Hi Adele, You are correct in regards to the added height above the WC - this is largely dependent on the specified window and build of the roof however, so do check with your contractor. You may find the following link helpful with ensuring this layout meets building regulation standards. Drainage and waste disposal: Approved Document H

Hi Gina, How about if you use a back to wall pan - with cistern concealed in the right side wall - with basin under window - and have a shower valve etc on top wall with a small fixed panel and a pivoting main shower screen area to be opened when needed - but give feeling of more space when not needed .
