Bathrooms Renovating Design Dilemma

New bathroom layout / remodel

9 months ago

Hello - Please help choose or suggest a new bathroom plan located upstairs on 1st floor:

Removed as required bespoke shower tray
One large bathroom with bath opposite to slide door shower
One large bathroom / wet room with walk-in shower next to bathtub
Separate square enclosure shower room with sink on top of toilet. Bathroom becomes smaller with an angled door
En suite shower in middle sized bedroom. Might be able to also fit a small sink in between the towel rail & shower enclosure. Smaller bathroom, same as 4

Need to confirm the layout for the plumber / builder. Here’s a vid of the existing space:

Here's what I've found after living in and visiting many tract homes- LR-13x18 FR-12x16 (and that they not be in the middle of the traffic flow pattern aka many tract homes post ww2 till about the late 50's) Kitchen (no eating area) 9x11 DR/Nook or other eating area 10x10 Entry-at least 3'6" wide 4' better Bedrooms (good design would at least provide 2 good bed walls aka no doors or windows in it) MBR-12x13 w/ at least 10 linear feet of closets All other bedrooms-10x10 with at least 5 linear ft of closets all closets 2' deep, Baths-5x8 but 5x9 better if fixtures lined up on one wall and tub/shower at end 7x8 and 8x8 with the tub/shower fully accessible if it's 5 ft long 6x8 if it's a 3' shower (fixtures lined up on 2 opposite walls). If you look and many floor plans the best ones will have all of this. Note that square footage does not have to be a lot-ciculation/flow between rooms helps this.

Sure you can, we do it all the time in rental properties. Old houses have windows in the showers and renters do not take care of tile. You just need the right saw and then tub trim. Not everyone can tile- it takes a lot of patience and a tile saw. And if you are not a DIYer naturally it can be a big mess. We have done a lot of repairs to walls from botched tile jobs. And hiring out is expensive. You say you have a small budget. Chances are with the look of the tile in the pic- you may have water damage already. Powdy, it all depends on your skill level and actual budget and what you find underneath you remove the tiles.

Small bathroom - options?

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. : ))

Layout dilemma/ possible kitchen extension or remodel

Hi, advice gratefully received. Love our new house, but the ground floor layout is not great. Long narrow kitchen facing east, garden is big so scope to extend. As it stands you come in from the hall into the lounge to get to the kitchen. I would like to have some separation so that the lounge can be closed when desired. Perhaps some double doors? I was thinking to use a chunk of the lounge and knock through into the kitchen which would also allow more light. Lounge is lovely and light, kitchen is dark after lunch. Ideal solution would be a side extension, but drains and pipes in the way so worried about the cost.. Would only require about a metre wide along the actual kitchen which I would then face towards the garden and create a sitting area. Any ideas welcome P.S. Conservatory is a junk room at the moment, facing a fence on the right hand side. The garage is used as a utility.

I think I might explore changing the upstairs layout a little in order to give better wall space for wardrobes to the main bedroom

Thanks Johnathan. I don’t mind changing the wooden stud walls on the bathroom side. But wouldn’t want to rip down the big bricked walls where I can help it.

It’s also why I’m unsure of the en-suite option, even though that would be the smoothest way to separate the shower room from the bathroom.

However, I do like the fact that replacing the brick wall between bedrooms will allow for more storage space which is lacking in the house.

It will take your builder no time to pull down a brick wall. If it’s the one between the bedroom and the landing I think your builder will assure you it’s no bigger deal than taking out a wall made from wood studs. Just because it’s built of brick doesn’t mean it’s holding anything up.

Building stud wall is a builders bread and butter and since your old brick wall would have likely needed skimming the cost won’t be much different so don’t be afraid to go further because you only want this level of dust and disruption once.

Fair. That side of the wall is thinner than the other as the chimney breast was removed. I’m also unsure about making the middle room that much smaller
