Need some ideas on bath room updates

[2013]

We would like to update the bath room, We need to keep the bathtub but dont think we have the room for a walk in shower,

We would like to add a new shower and change the taps, at the moment we have basic ideas of what we think may work.

We have plastic panels on the walls but they have become scratched and worn in areas, the old electric shower stopped working long ago, and one of the taps is damages.


I will try and add images of the bath room and some ideas of what we think.

have a corner bath, and then you can have a walk in shower as well

Can anyone help?

If it was me I would fit a glass screen to the bath, new shower and get the walls tiled, tiling is big monies though

Victorian plumbing have offers on regular, we bought a mixer shower from them for £119 and its awesome

Would i have the room ?
a corner bath would be wider.

Here is a basic plan of the bathroom

The window is not in the plan

Are you able to move your soil pipe?

If I were you I would contemplate running the bath along the window wall, having the sink closest to it on the wall where your cupboard is now and the toilet where the word bath is at the moment. This gives you room to have a shower where your sink is currently.

Depends how intent you are on retaining dedicated storage.

I dont know if It can be moved, Im not bothered about the storage.

the only think I would be worried about would be the time and cost, plus if its not done correctly It could cause issues.

So ideas of the what im looking at

Shower
Im thinking of one of these not sure which at this point.

Tiles
Im wanting something like these

im not sure about the floor tiles

I'd be looking to move the wash basin onto the empty 9ft wall, looks like you'd have quite a bit of space for a shower at the foot of the bath then, 41 inches wide by my calculations.

I was thinking of putting it there myself but I cant think of a good spot for the sink, so it does not look odd and I don't want to make the bathroom feel too small, It would affect the feel of things for me.

also that wall has radiator

I also had a thought of changing the bath to a L shape bath like the one below but that wont work either due to the window.

None of those wall units.
Try looking at one already installed for a year and you'll see how bloody awful they are to keep clean.
The square head will just dribble on you unless you have a pump.

A Mira shower or a normal mixer with a round head is a lot easier to live with, albeit a bit less bling.

Tiles
I'm wanting something like these
I'm not sure about the floor tiles

Try not to go OTT with the tiles, it may end up looking like a mortuary.
Half tiling looks better in smaller bathrooms, you need to keep in mind that this is a small space and not like the showroom illustrations.
And maybe the ceiling cladding could go, it's a difficult look to make work with tiles.

I'd lose the storage, it only ever ends up as a dumping ground for lost socks and women's smellys.
Maybe swapping the positions of the bath and the sink would make a glass shower partition easier to locate, and make the sink area brighter.

I've updated and re attached the currant bathroom plan with things I had forgotten.

 

[2013]

I've tried to move thinks about, changing the position of the bath sink toilet, everything I have tried come out with the same results.

I would be squeezing thinks together to make room for the walk in shower.

example if I moved the toilet I would be reducing the space around it making it cramped.

Feet and inches?

You could just swap the bath and sink round so you can fit a p-shaped bath in.

 

[Abyss]

I'd replace the radiator with a modern double panel radiator that is far narrower then relocate the sink onto that wall. This then frees up space to put a walk in shower:

You're a pain for working in feet and inches by the way, I had to convert each one to cm!

I'm not sure, its a lot of messing about plus time and money to add a inch or 2 space to the bath.

If I dont find a solution what im thinking of doing is just add a nice shower screen change the taps, add a new shower and tile it.

I would have like to add a walk in shower but I think im facing too many issue.
