Fitting a bath in a small bathroom?
Comments

Make sure it fits the bath exactly. Helps contain the water that way and doesn't create any weird dust traps, you just cut the bath panel slightly shorter to fit.

Yes. When choosing my bath, I measured carefully the gap between the walls. It was 1685mm so I bought a 1685mm bath.FreeBear said:Getting a 1650mm bath in to that gap is going to be tight, so you will have to be absolutely sure of the measurements before ordering anything
My bathroom wall width is probably 1700mm and I think the cast iron bath I took out was.
I just chipped away any plaster to fit the new one in.
It wouldn’t matter anyway if there was a gap as a batten can be used to fill.

I think my hope design-wise is to have a tile sided bath. Want to put some nice tiles in but because of the window occupying a lot of the space, it means less area for tiles to cover, so my hope was to tile the bath side. I guess removing the window and making that area tiled too would allow for more tile coverage too.Doozergirl said:Make sure it fits the bath exactly.

Please don't move the door opposite the top of the stairs. Ours are like that with about a 3 feet gap from door to top of stairs. I cracked my skull and 2 vertabrae falling down them in the dark......Forgot to take 2 steps to the right.

I'm 5'2" and loved a 15,24.mm bath (the old 5ft), my partner at 6ft not a lot.
To go smaller than that would be useful for a small child or two.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

It almost is opposite. It's only off by about 20cm.Slinky said:Please don't move the door opposite the top of the stairs. Ours are like that with about a 3 feet gap from door to top of stairs.

If you have the bath under the window you could put a bath screen against the wall to protect the window, preferably one which will open in to the bath so that you can get behind it to open/clean the window area.
