Best place to buy a bathroom suite, does a bath add value to a property? Pics >>

Where is the door located? Just so everyone knows the layout which is not clear ATM.

I don't like that basin next to the toilet. It would be better at the end of the bath if space permits with a shorter 150cm bath.

How about this, it's 90cm wide at it's widest but it is 150cm long so you might be able to get a pedestal basin in depending upon where your door is. More expensive but if it works then it might be worth considering.

Or this, it looks more compact and not as wide (80cm), still 150cm but you would need the shower away from the window. That might give more space for your toilet. If you are less concerned with price then it might work well.

The problem with that site is that it does not show enough details and they are more difficult to get to. There do not seem to be any schematic drawings for the 2nd bath.

How about a whirlpool shower bath?

Or how about this, £150 for a p shaped Left or Right handed depending upon which suits best. Options of shower screens, panels and even whirlpool if you want it. This is 170cm so not so space saving. It's deceptive in that it is also 90cm wide.

Heres the floorplan...we only plan on being in this flat 2-3 years so...

I've updated my previous post. Thanks for the floorplan. What is the width of the door? I doubt a 1700 bath would fit well. But a 1500 would not give enough room for a basin at the end.

Too much is going to look overcrowded and anything which gives an impression of space might benefit.

Have you considered a wetroom? These are sometimes ideal for smaller bathrooms as everything is waterproofed so its ok and you can get away with not having a shower tray or screens if you wanted to, quite pricey though to do it properly!!!

I would look at switching the sink and shower around and having a real wow shower.

shame bedroom 2 and kitchen don't open onto the hall, giving room for a bigger bathroom

But - although I am a bath fanatic - with a bathroom like that I would be looking at something like this:

Something that I think that is worth thinking about is that having a toilet right next to a bath is not very hygienic. Bacteria get dispersed around in water droplets when a toilet is flushed, especially if the toilet lid is left up ie men usage lol. Having all that over a bath surface and then using the bath should make you think!

"If you have your toothbrush too close to the toilet, you are brushing your teeth with what's in your toilet."

The moral of the story, you have good reason to nag your menfolk about putting the toilet seat down.

BTW I am a man and fairly recently started making sure that I put the lid down before flushing! A damn nuisance but necessary IMO.

For now I think I would lose the disability shower, lose the sink unit, install a freestanding sink further along and a nice double proper shower enclosure. See how you get along without a bath for the time being.

I wouldn't put a bath in just as a selling point, it didn't stop you buying the flat afterall.

That's what we replaced the shower cubicle that was in our house when we moved in with
