Bathroom Dilemma - how to plan it

[Bananas85]

We're having a new bathroom put in and the idea was to turn the airing cupboard into a walk in shower and get a beautiful bathroom installed; however, now we've had the plan back it feels like it will be very squashed when sitting on the toilet. So we are torn between do we remove the bath completely and have a bigger walk in shower, do we choose a narrower sink unit or do we move the toilet or sink to the end of the sink instead? I'll see if I can add the plan :)

Swap the toilet and the radiator.

Though moving toilets is a bigger job.

PP right. And get a skinnier vanity unit thingy.

How big is the bathroom? Have you only had one quote/ plan?
I’d look for some alternative plans. The toilet does look squashed in and will get wet as you step out of the shower.

I have this combo (not main bathroom) and it's fine, but we always scrape shower down before exiting so water remains in shower cubicle.

put sink where radiator is, either have underfloor heating instead or get shelf/box radiators which you can store towels in or a tall narrow rad between loo and shower, or under floor heating if you're not stressed by slow drying towels on a basic rail

Don’t remove the bath (unless you’ll rarely use it).
Narrower vanity, or even a pedestal one. Maybe switch it around with the loo (I assume that won’t be difficult plumbing). Or move the bath down to where the towel rail is, which seems to be getting lots of space at the moment.

Would also go with swapping toilet and towel rail if that's possible.

Put the toilet where the towel rail is

We've had 3 plans but they've all been the same layout as I suppose its what we asked for but now with the chosen furniture we're thinking it will feel a bit cramped.
I'm thinking maybe put the toilet at the end of the bath, move the radiator to the wall next to it and then it gives some space between the shower and the Sink.

The door is actually where the bare wall is showing to the left so when you come in the door you're facing where the towel rail is showing.

Ok, so what is the arrangement currently?
Im guessing a solid wall blocking off whst us not the shower. How dors everything fit currently?

Can you go for a different sink?
How wide is the unit which you have placed the countertop basin?
it looks like a 600 or 800 wide? The actual sink could be fitted in a narrower unit and you could put some floating shelves over the bath if storage is a problem?

Also a vanity unit with a rounded edge might be worth exploring to soften edges. Having everything quite close together is fine but you need 15 cm to get your hand in and around a shower screen to give it a clean.
I’d definitely put my bath taps at my toes and not in middle. I am not a fan of pouring extra hot water on my tummy. Overall I think you are nearly there!

Be a lot cheaper and was to put the sink at end of bath

The layout now is pretty much the same but without the walk in shower as that is just a plain wall (we're knocking through into the cupboard next door).
The taps will be at the end, I dont love them in the middle either. And also thinking about the sink at the end of the bath would be easier but maybe I just need to go for a small unit (this one is 610mm wide although to be fair that is one of the narrowest and shallowest aswell).

This is another plan he did...

If you have the door opening outwards into the hall or a pocket door, you'll make the bathroom floor 1m2 larger and make it feel roomier. Its also good for safety in case anyone ever collapses on the other side of the door.

So the loo moves between those two plans. You're happy to move it around? Just asking because it generally ads cost. Can you put any of the plumbing anywhere on the two exterior walls?

I wouldn't put the loo facing the door if you can avoid it so id probably go for your second plan but if you could have a slimmer basin then there are other options

Id go with the second picture youve put on. Remove the overcrowded shower/loo/sink/bath wall.

Second one is better but the door will bash against the towel rail when opened. Any scope to move the door a bit to the right?

Agree about door bashing the towel rail - they stick out further than you expect

Sorry the door is in the wrong place on the model - swap over the door and towel rail walls which is how it is now so that would be okay (although if that will be in the way of the sink is another question 🙈)
I think that second one is probably the best design

This but swap the sink and bath, so sink and toilet side by side and bath on the other side of the room. Also you can get to the window without climbing in the bath.

I agree with @Hellohelga; just to say, the first one is awful and looks to be completely against guidelines, the toilet is so squashed in. I don’t know if there actual regulations for this, but there’s supposed to be a certain amount of space around each piece, if you google it there are lots of helpful guides.

Flip the bath 180 degrees and shuffle the sink and loo along a bit. Narrow towel rail where you currently have the head of the bath.
