If you're going to have issues standing up to wee, you're also going to have issues standing up to have a shower, with the shower also tucked underneath the sloped roof? Albeit in a different corner?

Its very difficult to show the sloping roof in these layouts. Ive had another go here from a different angle.

I dunno, does this work? My main concern is how to fit a bath in that spot - i.e do I need to build a wall to back it on to, and to house the shower gubbins, if you see what I mean?

That's good .. space to dry yourself when you get out of shower, basin beneath window,
shower screen on top side, can pivot clockwise, at left end, to open up area when using as a bath

I have tried to improve the way the roof slope is visualised, this is the best i can do. You can see the red lines which represent the plane of the roof projected down to floor level.

So in this view you can see that there is a risk of needing to 'duck' under the roof line and around the glass to get into the walk in shower. If it was a bath there, you'd also need to step into the bath whilst ducking under the roof and around the glass. I am not sure whether the roof line will impede on the toilet here either.

Looks good. I think only the glass panelling for the shower needs a think to get the most out of the bathroom

Yes, that looks sensible. I'd have the shower head further towards the door rather than directly in the centre of the shower tray so that you have the most room possible above you.

One idea but what about turning it into a wet room? Might allow better use of the space? As you don't need to worry about the shower screen In the same way.

bath/shower in place of the shower tray and a glass screen the pivots or folds?

my screen over my shower/bath hinges both ways

Exactly my thought.
Make room a wet room, refit bath, sink and toilet in same places.
Add a shower on the wall next to bath, add a simple short glass screen (floor to ceiling) next to door to stop any water going onto (assume) landing.
It looks to be big enough. A little water may get into/under bath, but shouldn't be a big issue.

How difficult is it to create a full wet room on the upstairs floor of typical house with wooden floorboards?

in particular, having a sole bathroom as a wetroom, maybe problematic, plus, unless its massive, how do you stope encroach of water towards toilet pedestal/basin,
- the only folks I know who have one is for mobility problems.
