Shower room / en-suite without a toilet?

3 years ago

Looking for feedback on design changes to our house. We have a Victorian 4 bedroom house, with a large family bathroom (roll top bath, shower & toilet) upstairs at the back & next to it is a separate toilet and basin. This is the only bathroom & two toilets in the house.

We are considering putting an en-suite into the master bedroom, which is at the front of the house, sandwiched between the neighbour & 3rd bedroom in terms of floor space.

Now as adding another toilet to the en-suite is going to be a pain (soil pipe would have to pass through bedroom as the other route is interrupted by the main staircase) or we use a saniflow, I’m wondering if a third toilet is really necessary upstairs? And instead just having a really plush shower & sink as a shower room. Is this too odd?

At the moment I have no idea if we plan to move again etc, so I am more concerned about our needs right now, but with 2 children & in-laws always staying a second shower feels like a must, but a third toilet seems excessive. Welcome any thoughts.

I think an ensuite without a toilet is fine, since you already have two loos there. Maybe you could squeeze another toilet in somewhere downstairs, closer to the soil pipe?

we're thinking of doing the same - a shower and basin only arrangement in an en suite. What did you do in the end? thanks

Hello Orlac2, yes you could turn the bath round and have a smaller one.. Like a tubby.. You could also take out the bath and install a shower, have a wet room style with full tiling and back to wall sink and loo.. Could be a rather luxurious shower room.. but if the bath is required then why not look at getting a Tubby Torre by Albion. They have a whole range but this is a favourite.. It can be painted any colour you like.. I like the copper colour.. You get a really fantastic soak and it's a beautiful little tub! As well as a shower. : ))

We have made room for an en-suite shower room to our guest room we went for the largest shower cubicle we could reasonably fit in. Found the nicest white tiles to make the best of the space. Fitted bifold shower screen feeling the space was too small for a wet room( too much drying off of the fittings and paddling water beyond the area). toilet opposite, and sacrificed on the basin, just a small wash hand basin. Our thinking being that these days people tend to shower rather than wash and the smaller basin works well for teeth cleaning and hand washing. it works well. Hope yours will too.

We also bought our house before babies - but I can now tell you they usually are mainly in the tub yrs1-8 maybe even 10 or 11! We opted to put both a tub (with an electric shower) and a walk-in shower / wet room type arrangement in the main bathroom. Seems like a lot in 1 place but works for us.

En suite layout help! 2.2m x 3.3m

Hi there I’m hoping for a bit of advice on the en suite layout. I have been flip flopping with this and not sure what will work best. Shower is 900 x 1200 and bath is 1700 - not sure if I’ll go with double or single vanity- there’s a skylight over this area which is about a metre. I don’t want bathroom to feel cramped but conscious there doesn’t seem to be much room for storage. Pic of drawing attached - other idea was to put shower along the other (2200 wall) and turn the toilet to the side. Spotted a picture of this idea and liked the look of it but I’ve no idea if my space is too tight! Any suggestions very much appreciated! Thank you

Decided yet? If not, could you add room sizes? And floor below?
