Could I realistically fit all this in a 2.8m by 2.8m bathroom?

We are having lots of renovations done and part of that is changing my sons old bedroom into a large bathroom. The room is 2.8m x 2.8m and we would really like a bath, sink with a vanity unit (ideally it would be a double unit but I think that might be pushing it!), loo and a walk in shower. Does anyone have similar?

I think it would fit just about. My DD's bedroom is 2.7 x 2.1 and she has a cot bed, changing unit, triple wardrobe, chest of drawers and a round laundry basket in there (just to imagine the room)

Yes you should, you may have to be a bit clever with the space though.

Surpriseeggsforbreakfast · 11/09/2017 13:52

yes its possible, my sister has done similar, I think her bathroom might be even smaller. As you go in the sink and toilet are on one side and the bath and shower are on the opposite side. The bath might be slightly shorter than usual but not noticeably so. We are planning something similar when we redo our bathroom.

Squared paper, pen, ruler and scissors - plus the dimensions of the items that you want to fit in.

Hmm how much floor space is needed between a toilet or bath and the shower if it is opposite and has a sliding door?

Ours is 2.3 x 3. We have a 40cm fake wall all along the 3m length which houses the toilet cistern and pipes for the bath making the floor space 1.9 x 3 the bath fills one wall and we then have a toilet next to the bath one side with a walk in shower next to that. The sink unit is on the other wall
Opposite the toilet. Floor space isn't huge but my husband and I can be in there bathing two children without too much trouble.

If it helps I've just seen this in a local property. I did think it looked a bit crammed but the bath at right-angles is probably better than opposite.

It doesn't give bathroom dimensions & probably isn't drawn to scale but Bedroom 1 is given as
4.3m x 4.1m (14'1" x 13'7")

Here's what you do. Against the far wall as you walk in you put a bathtub from wall to wall (you might want to tick some shelving in one side if you have extra space. Immediately in front of the bathtub you put your shower. In effect you will have a wet area with shoe and bathtub separated off by the shower screen. This should leave you with enough room for the loo and basin. It will also make the shower feel roomier and the bathroom look less crowded.

ours is 2.28 x 2.38
we have normaly size bath on one wall and single sink toilet then shower on the other. doesn't looked cramped.
To make it work, as the entrance is to the right of the stairs i built a pocket door so no door opens into the room

RockinHippy · 11/09/2017 19:24

Definitely possible, we have done in a smaller space, minus the toilet, but plus the vintage radiator. You will have to be clever with the layout & be open to moving a door if possible. We found moving a door was the key to fitting ours all in.

Good luck

The walk in shower will be the problem because unless you can give it a decent length, water will go everywhere if you have good water pressure. My walk in shower is 1200 long and to contain the water it should be 1400 at least. Mine is a bit short! However the bathroom is tanked so it doesn't matter but obviously more expensive to construct. Install a shower cubicle and it will work because the water will be contained.

I'm happy to have a larger contained shower Bubbles. I like to have room to step back and brush my hair out of the range of the showerhead without actually getting out of the shower IYSWIM? So a 1200 wide shower with a full surround would work.

Yep would definitely fit. Our bathroom at our old house was 2.7 by 1.8 and was bath, sink and toilet and it was fine x

geoff409 · 11/09/2017 21:45

Sorry, a walk-in shower and bath might be pushing it, but we had an electric shower over the bath and it was fine x

Humptynumpty02 · 11/09/2017 22:56

Ours is 2.26m x 2.4m and we had it renovated recently to include shower (cubicle), 1.2m wide sink unit, bath and wall hung toilet. It's easy, shower and vanity unit along left had wall and bath and wc along right hand wall. Straight ahead we have towel ladders.

Chipsahoy · 13/09/2017 16:32

Mine is a great deal smaller than that. Knees touch door when you sit on toilet. But we have a sink, large cupboard, toilet and full size shower. Love my ensuite

MissDuke · 14/09/2017 06:43

Our bathroom is currently being refurbed. It is 3.9 by 2.8. It has 2 windows and a hotpress with double doors, which restricts our options a bit. There is a natural recess/alcove type thing where the bath currently is - we are putting a walk in shower there which is 1600mmx900mm. At a right angle to that on the adjoining wall is the freestanding bath and then the loo in the corner. The sink is opposite to the bath, by the hotpress. The new bath is shorter than average at 1500mm but it is more for the children anyway, dh and I bath about once every 3 years! I climbed in it to see and cannot straighten my legs, hoping that doesn't annoy me down the line at some stage!

We are hoping it works and doesn't appear too cramped and that we can walk out of the shower without stubbing our toes on the bath!
