we have a Duravit "paiova" bath that we use to shower in. It's a sort of rectangular corner bath type thing.Comes in lots of different sizes too. looks very cool if you like the angular minimalist look (we do). I have had many a happy hour splish splashing about in this bath

We;ll they'll all have to come off then. The rooms been getting smaller over the years. Original tiles will be concreted on so you are looking at a partial replaster at the very least. Being an outside wall then the WHB waste can go out through the wall easily if you want it there.
Actually no if by false wall you mean stud wall. Wood panelling plus n layers of tiles will have to come off anyway (see how this room is meeting your expectations by enlarging itself already
) so once you are back to the stud work the pipework can all be inside just make sure there are extra noggins to hang the shower valve on.
I didn't want to appear forward before but now you've said that it really is quite horrid. Just getting rid of that is going to open the room out.
Of course.
No comment.
Cheers
Thanks Keystone:) Good to know that we can do all pipework under the floorboards. Humungous beastie has been great for storing my stockpile of loo rolls, showergels etc. Will have to go minimal!A tip for using graph paper is to draw the outline of the room and then cut sections of paper to scale for the suite. That way you can move them around to your hearts content working out what fits where.
Do you want to have a bath? If it were down to me personally and I never planned to move house again I'd go for a luxurious walk through shower and forget about the bath but those are my preferences. I might get kicked out of the house if I actually tried to do it
Thanks for the tip re the graph paper. What I really want is a huge walk in shower and bath but haven't got the room and I know if we didn't have a bath we'd really miss it.
Oh, that bath is lovely:) What basin and loo do you have as previously it's the curved designs that have appealed.0
