Bathroom - partially covering a window void for a shower - pictures?

[Chasingsquirrels]

Main bathroom refit.
Currently bath, basin & WC.
Want to include a shower.
Entrance is a door then corridor.

Options to follow...

Option 1

Soil stack is in the opposite corner to the wall the toilet is on.
Other service shouldn't be a problem (currently bath taps & waste are where new shower is showing and basin along wall where new bath is).
I've had this version in mind for so long, so that the main thing you see passing or entering the room isn't the loo, and I'm struggling to move on from it.

Option 2

I feel this would be tight for movement?

Option 3

So, what about this - but would mean partially covering the bathroom window.
It is 1.73m long and I'd be covering no more than 35cm.
I've got a piece of MDF to try and visualise it but I'm struggling.
Bathroom company said "leave it open to the window, not much water splashes behind you " ???? "And if it does you could get glass added to fit.

I'm thinking I'd either get the glass added at the beginning, or what about just going over the whole thing with shower board?

Anyone got any example pictures of the window being partially blocked off?

Or other suggestions?

Oh bigger my pictures are missing!

Option 3

Definitely not option 3! Either option 1or 2 are fine. 2 is similar to our main bathroom, except we don't have the additional shower.

I don't get how you have the space for option 3?

In option 2 you have the shower on the left and the bath on the right, and the space between them isn't big enough for a loo and sink.
In option 3 you have the shower and bath in the same place (essentially, albeit butting up against a different wall) but you show the loo and sink in the space between them.

Are you having big building work done, or just a bathroom refit?

If you're having other work done, can you move the door over to the left so that you have space on the RHS for the shower, the bath can go on the left, then you can have the loo closer to the soil stack. So it would be a mirror image of option 1.

OR: put the path under the window along the outside wall, and move the loo/sink to the RH wall.

I wouldn't put the loo on the opposite side of the room to the soil stack if I could possibly avoid it - at some point you are probably asking for trouble.

This sounds a cracking idea, easier to move the door if you can as this suggests.

Definitely do not obscure any part of the window. It will look extremely odd.

Just bathroom refit.
Wall moving not possible, the bathroom bit is all "sticking out" of the house - above the front door.
The corridor is staircase on one side & smallest bedroom on the other.

I just don't see swapping the bath & shower sides round as possible given the dimensions?

Space between the shower and bath would be 1000 to 1200 depending on bath & shower widths - lots of basin & WC units are 1000 and most standalones are 600, so x 2 would fit in a 1200 space?

OR: put the path under the window along the outside wall, and move the loo/sink to the RH wall.
Where does the bath & shower go?

I wouldn't put the loo on the opposite side of the room to the soil stack if I could possibly avoid it - at some point you are probably asking for trouble.
I know ☹️

I think you would have to replace the window completely with a new one that would be symmetrical in the new window area or it will look really odd. That would mean re-bricking outside which never looks original.

Option 2 for me. Or swap the toilet and sink in 1 to keep the toilet near the soil stack. In 1 would you have sufficient fall to get to the soil stack sensibly, without playing with floor heights.

Can you have the shower on your right as you go in? (On the wall that the bathroom door is in). Then a solid wall to one side of the shower which hides the toilet on the right hand side of the room (where the stack is). Then the bath on the left hand side of the room with the sink on the opposite wall.

Option 3 would be really tight for space to move around in. Option 1 bug swap the toilet and basin; better to have the toilet close to the soil stack and then put the basin on the left on a lovely vanity unit with mirror above.

The wall as you walk into the room on the right is much narrower (590) than the left (1010)
I can build it out slightly (170 max to 760) to match the door opening (the corridor widens where the rad currently is then widens again into the room).

Leaving the bath and swapping the shower to the other side mirroring option 1 is a possibility, and makes the toilet easier.

I'd originally thought a 3 wall shower opening inwards into the room but think it might make it too enclosed?

Oh, I've seen the other picture - so walk-in shower next to the window.

No, that's not the issue.
I'd probably have a mixer shower on the bath, just for hair washing when bathing, washing the dog etc. But it wouldn't be main use.

I really really really want to get away from the toilet being the only thing under the window and being the only thing you see as you pass or enter the room.

Our bath/window position is similar to your existing bath, but with the shower head on the wall next to the window (our wall width might be a bit wider than yours, as the shower head is centred over the bath). It's a directional shower head and water doesn't splash back to the window or window sill. But it might be different if it were an overhead rainforest shower head flowing straight down.

What type of shower head are you considering?

I would leave the toilet where it is. Moving the pipes for that is a major hassle.

Also, do you absolutely need both a bath and shower? Could you combine the two?

The toilet waste is a horizontal waste pipe running from the toilet to the soil stock pillar - I think you can see it in the picture. Moving rhe toilet along the window wall is absolutely not at issue.
Having it on the opposite wall involves an extra bend - more problematic.
Having it on the right wall where the basin currently is means changing the waste input into the soil stack.

I don't NEED a separate shower and bath, and have an ensuite shower room (not big enough to be anything else) as well.
But I feel the room should be big enough, and with older teens a shower is more appropriate plus I like a bath

In option 2 where would your toilet roll holder go? In our previous house we had similar and had to get a freestanding holder which constantly got moved around when the bath was in use otherwise it got splashed. In our current house arrangement is much better with toilet beside a wall - perfect!

@Chasingsquirrels How about a half wall to the right of toilet (in option 1), if you have the space.

V good point!
Currently it is on the wall behind you and I don't like this.
Could I hang on the glass shower wall??

Oh nice, more options!

also this, shower with half wall, reversed so it'd also be to the right of the toilet. A lot of other ideas too if you scroll down 😊
