toliet with integrated basin, comments please

Id have no problem with an L shaped bathroom and remember if you took down the wall between the wc and the bathroom youd not only increase the size by the width of the space the wc currently sits in youll also gain the additional space of the width of the dividing wall. Not all rooms have to be square /rectangular. Id rather knock it all into one and reconfigure the bathroom to suit your needs (thats my plan in our house anyway and ours will also be L shaped)

So it looks like this and your toilet is on the right had side?

Whats in the corner as you go into the bedroom? (Bottom right of the picture)

Its not just the bathroom in the drawing its the overall size of the drawing (L-shape)


I cant copy in a pic I have done in paint

My bathroom is only 5ft 7 inches long by 5ft 7 inches wide

My toliet is only 6ft long by 2ft 7inches wide

So if it was all in one as you can see it would be really odd looking I reckon

Upload the picture to www.tinypic.com and you can then link to it.

Why not just fit a normal close coupled loo. Leave the lid off the cistern and wash your hands in that.

You'd have to wait a few minutes for it to fill up after you flush, but think of all the money you would save.

Why would you have to wait?

Use toilet.
Lower seat & lid.
Wash hands in clean water in cistern.
Flush now soapy water from cistern into lav pan.
Cistern refills with clean water.
Repeat as necessary.

So if I'm understanding you correctly in the drawing you have put up, effectively the bedroom is the toilet (with the door where? - where the window is on the lower edge of that part?) and the rest is the bathroom. Assuming I'm correct about the door (which is the only place it can be unless its off the bathroom - why not put a corner basin in the top left corner of the toilet - you might have to make the door open outwards (but anyway that's part of the new building regs anyway as it makes the toilet disabled accessible!).

Hi Yes the toliet is the whole of the bedroom and the bathroom is the rest of the pic, the door is the opening underneath where it says "bedroom"

but I really cant fit in a basin as the toliet is only 2ft 7 inches wide

Having drawn it out I think you can fit it in. The toilet isn't an issue as its tucked away. You have 79cm of width to play with, and that sink I posted up earlier only protrudes 21 cm. If you shove that sink hard into the top left hand corner, with the tap on the left hand end, getting round it to get to the actual toilet will be not much harder than getting round the handle on the door is now. You'd probably then need to replace the door either so it opens outwards or is a bifold so it tucks away in the remaining space between the opening and where the sink is.

Its possible - but it depends on whether the resulting layout works for you.

thanks westondave, pity I cant make the toliet/bathroom all into one without it looking silly
