Now my drawing has come out wrong. The room is approx 112 " x 65" with the bath down the right hand side, bath is 27 " wide.
Sorry about the'drawing' I would like to fit a shower cubicle but keep the bath. I would rather not have the bath over the window as I'd have to get in the bath to open it. I wondered if it would be possible to move the sink and the WC along towards the bath then I think a 90 quadrant shower would fit where the WC is. It is a bungalow with a concrete floor. The other idea which I had was to make a new doorway between the present door and the bath and put the shower in that corner but that would be away from the drain and the water pipes and a lot more work.

Any ideas please.

    Why not just put a shower over the bath

    Because as I'm getting older I sometimes find it difficult to get into the bath, just depends how stiff i am.

    Could you replace the bath with a walk-in bath with shower over?

    Moving the WC on a concrete floor is likely to be awkward

    You need to do another drawing and do it in millimetres. Your drawing is very confusing.

    The loo is the most awkward to move 'cos of the soil pipe, any other pipework want be a problem to move whatever you decide.
    In a normal shower cubicle the trap for the drain would go under the floorboards but with yours being concrete i think you may need to raise it a few inches and have a step.
    Do you think if the cubicle went on the r/h wall, you moved the door to the left to the centre of the room and left everything else as it is.

    I was reading about using plastic pipes rather than copper, that would be a lot cheaper considering the price of metal. And much easy to cut and join, i've never used it but it sounds a good thing.

    Could you please try another basic plan with the soil location outside, thanks.
