Sorry it's all a bit detailed and boring but...I'm considering a house where they have a nice enough bathroom but only one for the house, and it has no decent shower, just a hand-held attachment. Impossible to fit a screen even the way the bath is fitted. Can't add a proper overhead one there due to the boiler being positioned right behind the bath (cupboard door is where a shower could go)
There is a tiny cheap shower cubicle in the loft conversion on 2d floor, but has no loo there and also it's cheap and in a slopey-ceilinged corner, not my idea of comfort!
So there are quite a few bedrooms. One would be ideal as shower room as it's a box room with window, but it's not near the boiler and other plumbing, and it's at the front. I think it's too expensive if not impossible to extend the plumbing to there(?)
There is a 'study' - a walk-through room next to that tiny shower room in the loft. a good idea to extend into there, without knocking walls as there is a door from it to existing shower room? How good the pressure would be in the loft? I get an impression they don't use the existing shower much. The boiler is working well but is an older model and not combi - plus it's on the floor below.
There is also a bedroom next to the bathroom on first floor (where the boiler is), windows to the side of building so no loss of any nice views - could make a large very nice shower room, but I'm slightly sorry to lose a reasonable size bedroom (small double).
I'd like a good shower enclosure, elongated slightly, with good pressure. Plus obv a basin and loo.
When I say 'how much', I mean work and plumbing, not the units.
TIA!
