Bath or Shower in en-suite?

9 replies

I am doing a conversion at the moment and need to plan my en-suite.

We don't have room for a bath and seperate shower which would be my preference, so

would you have either - a large shower and no bath or, a bath with overhead shower?

I've never really liked showers over baths (don't really know why), so I'm leaning towards a big shower.

What do you think?

Why don't you have a bath and a separate shower head and controls installed over the bath?

bath & shower - really you won't regret it

you can get d-shaped baths so they are wider at the shower end and this feels more spacious

I would have a large shower, but then I don't really like baths much. Do you have a bath in another bathroom?

A shower bath

Will you have another bathroom with a bath? If so, I'd opt for a luxurious shower. If you're going to be sharing the en-suite with a dp, then I think you want something that encourages you to be out of the bathroom quickly in the morning. You don't want someone in there wallowing in the bath - they can use the bathroom for that.

bath with decent sized shower head overhead.

The en-suite room size is 1.8m wide x 3m long.
I've just done a scale drawing and I can fit a bath (800mm wide) and shower (800 x 1000mm) along 1 wall (to the left as you walk in the door, with the shower in the corner nearest the door).
The toilet would have to be against the outside wall and sink to the side (on the other 3m length of wall - does that make sense?)

I don't want it to look too cramped - am I trying to get too much into a relatively small space?
