Installing a bath in a bedroom?

you dont want a bath in your bedroom! think of all the steam and condensation everywhere. and then you would sleeping in that. it would need to be a seperate room, with a proper wall between you and it.

If you run a inch or two of cold water before running the hot tap, steam and any resulting condensation can be avoided.

Electrical safety is area to be concerned about.

I have seen those hotel rooms with a bath in them, but I really can't see any benefit in having one there or at home over just having to walk a few meters to the bathroom anyway. 

Personally if I moved into a house with a bath in the bedroom it would be the first thing I would be removing. Much nicer to use the space to put a nice sofa or chaise lounge there

I've not installed one, but I do think they're a bit of a fad that's already put dated. I love a good bath, but in a bathroom. I'd be annoyed if my carpet got splashed etc. Plus you'd have to have somewhere to store all your bathing stuff, towel etc.

I've been in a hotel bedroom that had the en suite shower with no door. The edge of the bed used to be damp. 
I've had 2 friends that had Jacuzzis in the bedroom when that was a thing. Seldom used after the initial novelty wore off.
Personally I wouldn't want the windows open with the noise intrusion and I think an extractor would look ugly, hanging cord etc so worth looking on google to see how thats done.
Wher does the waste go to give that neat smart look? It's either down through the floor or leading to the side and behind skirting. How old is the bungalow? Would you be able to get matching skirting? 

But if you really want one go for it. Think it needs some research though.

I've stayed in lots of hotels that have it and I've never noticed any damp in them. A powerful
Extractor fan is a must, I'd say one that goes via the ceiling and ducts out the roof over a wall based one as they're usually much more powerful, and the ceiling duct is fairly discrete. 

I'd also set it up so extraction was automated based on humidity levels rather than needing manual activation - that's what we do with the bathroom & en suite and we never have to do anything with it. It doesn't have that feature built in, but some do, we use home assistant to automate it. If you don't want that faff then get one with a sensor but it can lead to it coming on during the night if you don't have ability to set schedules etc 

Waste would usually go into the floor so you won't see that but will need somewhere to connect up to. 

Any paint you use I would use bathroom paint. 

For splashes etc - when you see them they're usually either on a different flooring type - either a small tiled area or wood, I'm not in the habit of creating splashes everywhere but it it does happen you would clean it up same as you do a bathroom - tiles and grout aren't waterproof either unless in a wetroom so it's not massively different. 

Not something I would do but if you want it, go for it it's your house!
