Make Bathroom Bigger by Converting to Shower Rooms
This is traditional bathroom in a 1930 built home in England. The bathroom is 158cm long by 166cm wide. The home owners wanted to create more space within the bathroom and convert it into a shower room.
The image below shows the original floor plan of the bathroom. As you can see it has a standard bathroom layout. From left to right, toilet basin and bath.
The basin has been moved from the window wall to the right hand side wall next to the shower. There are two advantages to fitting a shower room with this layout. First it frees up a small amount of floor space and secondly it is possible to fit a mirror above the basin on the wall.

Wall Removed in Bathroom Renovation Kaldewei Bath Fitted
This was a bathroom with separate toilet. We had to remove the wall between the bathroom and toilet and then build a new solid studded wall closing the original toilet door and creating a new door way into the larger bathroom.
The clients gave me a list of items that was important to them regarding the bathroom, that list included
- Having a separate shower to the bath
- Having an enamel coated steel bath
- A white wall tile
Below is an image showing the original floor plan and the new floor plan. The only way a shower could be added to the room would be by moving the toilet.
This is a image of the bathroom and the separate toilet.
The first step in the bathroom renovation is to remove all of the bathroom items, wall and floor tiles and in this case remove the wall between the bathroom and toilet.
When the wall between the bathroom and toilet was removed, it left no strength in the wall between the bathroom and the hallway. We built a new studded wall included a new door frame.
The next step is to make the bathroom walls flat ready for tiling. This is achieved by fitting plaster board to the walls of the bathroom. Before tiling begins the bath and shower should be fitted and silicon sealed to the walls. This is called the first seal.

Bathroom & Toilet Renovation to Single Bathroom Kenilworth
Bathroom & Toilet Renovation to Single Bathroom Kenilworth
This house on Oaks Road Kenilworth has a separate toilet to the bathroom. Many houses on Oaks road and around that area have a similar bathroom and toilet design layout. The bathroom felt small and confined being only 150cm wide at the basin end. The clients requested that we remove the wall and change the layout bringing the toilet into the bathroom. The image below shows the original floor plan with the toilet being separate from the bathroom.
The image below is the new design and floor plan. By removing the wall between the toilet and the basin and building a new studded wall in line with the bathroom door, we have moved the toilet into the bathroom. As you can see the toilet rotates 90 degress. What cannot be seen in the drawing is the original toilet room, though smaller is now a cupboard offering more storage for the home.

The bathroom dimensions now are 207cm by 170cm which is a good sized bathroom. We used a vanity toilet to hide the cistern, but the real reason was to ensure that a modern toilet would connect correctly. The vanity box used to enable us to connect the toilet to the soil pipe at slightly different angles if it was not a 90 degree fit.
The bathroom is heated by a towel warmer that is connected the central heating system. It is a chrome towel warmer 60cm wide and 210cm high.

The images below shower the bathroom before and after the renovation.
Originally the bathroom was made of various materials, some not ideal in a bathroom, The bathroom was partly tiles and incorrectly tiled around the bath which allowed water to penetrate around the seals of the bath to the floor below. The floor boards had to be completely remove and the new floor boards fitted.
Around the toilet area was slatted wood on the walls and around the pipe area to hide any waste or water pipes. Though on first inspection it looked nice, it was a dirt trap and and in area had been damaged by water.
