After sorting the shower room post flood, (pics on here somewhere), its time to sort the main bathroom. I had begun to strip out before we had a burst pipe damaging some of downstairs so this was put on the back burner along with having another child so no time for diy much recently.

The other evening the shower turned on by itself, or so I thought, except a pushfit waste upstairs decided to jump ship and deposit all the water to (fortunately) the shower tray in the room below via a ZEP1!

Anyway, its pretty small but there were some great ideas recently here for some one after layout advice so thought I'd test you all again.

Below is a rough layout with rough sizes...


Both bath wall and window walls are external. Door opens onto square landing so the door placement is negotiable. I've thought of turning the toilet onto landing stud to conceal the cistern within but otherwise think I'm pretty stuck with what we have? We need some storage as there is none so vanity is looking favourite at the moment.

Any help/ideas would be much appreciated.

Wow thanks everyone - a load of replies and a mock up all before I get to work smile

I cant hinge the door the other way as the bedroom door is right next to it - this is a bit annoying as when the bathroom door is open (most of the time with the kids!) it bungs up the landing. Excuse the shocking pic but you get the idea...


Moving the door is a lot more work but as the landing isn't decorated yet, is a possibility but then will likely involve moving the loo also.

I like the idea of everything in a line but it would need to be bath - loo - basin in order to get a mirror/cabinet above due to the window position.

The only thing I wonder about is if we want to fit a shower screen at some point then I'm knackered due to the window.

Towel rail is a concern as I want to use it for heat too. I was thinking about a floor to ceiling towel rad to make up for heat loss from towels.

Wouldn't the water just run out if it's on it's side?

What about this? (Real size basin/WC now included!)

Thanks for the ideas chaps. Ripping it out on the 2nd with the plan currently to replace as is but with more space saving basin/loo.
Still not sure about rad positioning but likely next to basin as long as it doesn't stick out too far, or next to the loo - not so keen on this though :S
