1.7m x 1.2m - how do I fit in wc, basin and shower

[toomuchtooyoung]

been looking at the ideal standard space range but am getting myself in a right pickle with having enough space to do all the necessary functions without bashing elbows and heads. the space also narrows to just over 1m where the outward opening door will be.

can anyone help before I go mad??

What about having a shower wet room instead? So no cubicle, just a glass panel?

All so there are some ranges of really small baths, toilets and basins - if they suit you. You can even get small corner toilets and corner basins.

Sorry no time to post links

I would go for the wetroom option, though

would that help fit it all in? if it needs a glass panel that still takes up room? have also seen some threads about poorly constructed wet rooms....just can't get my head around it all!

I would be weary of the wet room tbh in a small area. We had that in a flat we rented and it was a nightmare! The room was so small so all the floor got wet when you had a shower and in winter it just never dried completely so you had to always wear slippers in there.

It was horrible too for visitors too.

only want shower, this is for the downstairs

also 2 small dcs to consider. loo mainly for there (my) benefit so I can stop traipsing up and down the stairs. shower for future teenage years

We had this in our old house. Loo at one end, shower at other end with glass screen across and a small sink with a bottle trap in the middle.

Worked really well.

We have this. Loo one end (concealed cistern and storage over) on long wall. Washhandbasin opposite loo (storage under). Shower on same wall as loo with controls on short side wall. Slightly longer than wide. Towel rail / radiator on side wall behind door. Works really well. Entrance to right of washhandbasin / in front of shower.

brilliant, thanks all. wet room.definitely not an option if slippy floors are the outcome. will get my head around it tomorrow

You can get slip proof tiles. I would google small wet rooms for ideas of layout?

If you have a second main bathroom then keep the DCs out?

Seen wet rooms with UFH to dry up the wet floor - need all the correct stuff to do it as electrics and water etc etc - so not a DIY job - but a good idea if it's budget able !

don't want to keep dcs out as its mainly for them (me) so don't have to keep going up and down stairs for endless wees

already have wet ufh and planning to extend to new area, also might steal a bit of room.from the garage

think I can fit it all in now

I have a wet room with under floor heating. The tiles aren't slippy and the floor dries quickly.

Have your door so it opens out rather than in.
