Small Bathroom Design

[MacB]

A space of 2.3 x 1.2m currently has door in long side and populated by toilet, basin, towel rail and shower cubicle. If the door was moved to a short side is 1.2m enough to get a bath and toilet next to each other?

During refurb the stud wall could be moved a bit to increase the 1.2m width if need be.

Asking as this is for a future purchase so no tradespeople involved yet

Standard bath is 700mm wide. A compact WC may fit in the remaining 500mm but would still be a bit too tight for comfort I think.

This one is 345mm wide http://www.islandbathrooms.co.uk/product/grace-cc-toilet

I can't pretend I'm not disappointed Bludge. I always imagined your bathroom to be all Italian marble and gold fittings. Like a posh knocking shop or somewhere you'd chop up coke.

I think you overestimate my classiness

What is a bath? I haven't had one in decades.

Leave it as it is. You'll only fuck about with it and then sell it before you've had chance to use it more than half a dozen times, same as your fecking bikes.

And we can smell you in Leeds.

Where is the soil pipe from the existing WC? You really don't want to use those Saniflo jobbies, believe me.
A standard bath is 1700 by 700. Put that along the long wall and put the WC facing the short wall with the 600 mm that you have left. Put the door on the short wall that isn't blocked by the WC.

Do you really need a bath? A shower takes up less space and uses much less water and there are compact wall-hung pans like the Laufen Compact Pro that take us very little space.

Make a wet room...

From what I've seen, however well drained/ventilated, wet rooms always seem to end up grotty.

Not really. I had one on my flat in Stfford and it ws fab. You just need to ensure it is well ventilated and that you do thing like squeegee the floor when you're finished.

Why bother? Baths have plug holes to save you the trouble.

Baths are cramped. A decent wet room with shower is far nicer...

Not if you don't like dicking about with a squeegy afterwards.

It's no more effort than rinsing the bath...

Baths don't generally get all funky, even if you're a slob like me. Wet rooms smell like small mushroom facilities without obsessive maintenance.

Who needs the bother apart from masochists?

How about a 1200 long bath, Al? They were rare once upon a time, but seem to be loads available now. Stick your legs in the air if you want to lie down, or get an old folk's one, with a door in the side perhaps? Ideal Standard used to do a 'Space' range, with corner toilets, flat-sided basins etc - there will be an answer...A foray into the world of wet room should extend as far as peeing on the floor in a sleepy or other state. 'Tanking' is best done in the pub, not the bathroom.
