Bathroom advice - price and design

[Reno1234]

I would like to renovate our bathroom but don’t want to move the toilet (too much) or the boiler. You can see from the floor plan the boiler is currently boxed in but it currently far exceeds (as in comes out) more than is necessary so the cupboard could be taken back.

I really want a separate bath and shower and that is possible, but I want to try and make it possible without moving the above (or the toilet very little).

I am thinking of the green option, in which case the vanity/sink would be moved to the other side as the picture (staying where is it currently but buying new units obvs).

or doing a wet room/bath situation.

has anyone done anything similar?
do you think it will work in my circumstances?
how much do you think this might cost?

I am keen to do it on a budget.. if possible
thanks in advance!!

The simplest solution would probably be a bath fitted under the window, then the loo (move it a bit closer to the door) then the shower where it is.

I wouldn’t recommend a wet room because they can leak too easily.

I agree, I think you are going to have to move the toilet and fit the bath under the window. I don't really see it working with the toilet where it is.

Agree with others. If you have a normal boxed in bath, you can run the foil pipe from the new loo position to the existing connection so it shouldn't be very expensive to move it.

The problem with the green option is that the shower is going to soak the windowsill every time you turn it on. I also suspect there isn’t room to fit a 1.7m long bath, and a toilet and a 80-90cm wide shower along a 2.59m wall - the green option is clearly a much longer room than that.

Agree with everyone else that a bath next to the window is the only realistic option.

You wouldn't have enough length to have a bath, sink, toilet and shower all on the same wall as in the green pic. Bath is 1700mm and you need ideally 600mm for a loo. Which is pretty much the whole wall.

You could put a Japanese soaking tub in but that would only get you enough extra space for a sink or shower on the same wall and the you might as well move the loo and have a full sized bath under the window.

I think this layout would work as you all have suggested!

our shower that’s there currently is massive so it could probably fit the toilet, bath and shower provided it’s smaller in size.

do you think a boxed in boiler would still be ok next to the boxed in bath? You would still be able to access it as it would basically be in an overhead cupboard (in my mind!!)

has anyone done something like this and would have an idea of what to expect paying these days (south east).

we would need entirely new vanity with sink (probably make our own by getting a vanity and sink put in - Victoria esque) toilet, boxed in bath, small shower, probably tiled floor and maybe half walls. Our house is Victorian and weirdly the floor sloped.. not sure why until we pull up the existing floor but it will probably be expensive 🤣😪

Probably this will cost 12k if you don't go over the top on materials and get a builder, rather than project manage everything

I would not want a short bath 1700 or a small shower. The worst of both. You would get a lot more space by having the door open outwards!
