bathroom layout help

At some point this year we'll be renovating this bathroom. Rough plan is to knock out the cupboard from the bedroom next door and incorporate that into the bathroom footprint, and most of the cupboard from the hall - what remains will be an airing cupboard, but we are unsure on whether it will be accessed from inside or outside the bathroom.

Anyway, can anyone help with layout suggestions? We'd like loo, sink, bath and ideally separate walk in shower. Partner wants to avoid a shower tray but we'll see if that's possible or not.

There is a window, on the external wall and offset slightly to the left as you look at the image/to the right as you look in from the door.

Hopeful bump. I'm struggling to get a decent sized shower in.

It depends what a decent size shower is for you I guess!

Looking at the dimensions if you incorporate the cupboards, you could potentially put a 900 x 1000 shower at least behind the door, followed by the toilet, then a bath along the back wall, sink opposite the toilet?

Not a huge shower but acceptable and it could potentially be a bit bigger than that.

Oh, I just realised you said that you weren't knocking the whole hallway cupboard through!

A 900 x 900 shower then? It's similar layout to my bathroom which is 2000 x 2500 cm with an 850 x 850 shower. It has a curved door and doesn't feel too cramped to me but when we redo I'm hoping to fit 800 x 900 rectangle if I possibly can.

Thank you!

We could potentially knock the whole lot out, and others on the street seem to have judging by the floor plans I can find online, but I want somewhere for towels/bedding etc.

I don't know what a decent shower is, good point. I keep reading old threads on here which seem to be keen on 1200 or 1400 showers. I'm in isolation at the moment so can't get out to see enclosures in person and am struggling with visualising how big they are. Shower in current house is something like 700 x 800 I think and feels fine but not luxurious. We'd like a bit more luxury.

I'm wondering about an omnitub - me and OH only, no kids and will not be any, I'm the only one who has baths. I'm short and actively disliked the long bath in our old house as I couldn't get comfortable in it.

Shower where bedroom cupboard is. Bath under window. Loo where it is now and sink opposite loo.

I like omnitubs too. A friend had a square one fitted and tiled into an alcove in a small bathroom and it looked great. I lodged with her for a while and every so often if I was having a hard time at work she ran me a bath and left a glass of wine on the side for when I got home, it was amazing.

I'm quite taken with the idea of a 'bath in shower' but don't think my bathroom is quite wide enough to do it well, it might work well for you?

I was going to suggest exactly what titchy has done. You could get a decent size walk in shower enclosure in there then, the exact size governed by how big a linen cupboard you want to retain.
