Phew!

We're having the bathroom done.
Got the plumber booked for the 9th.
Went round looking at suites. Didn't rush. Finally ordered one. Delivery 6th - last working day before the plumber arrives.
A bit too close for comfort, that one.
Better sort some tiles and a shower curtain, too.

Oh, if you have the dosh and the space, get a longer wider bath - bearing in mind you may need a bigger hot water cylinder to fill it, and that there may not be alternate sizes in the style you like anyway. But a big bath is nice.
1800*800.

I did that at my old house and loved loved loved it, even though I am far from tall! Unfortunately our new bathroom (even with chimney removed) will be 1500 x 2100. The loo *has* to go on the 1500 end (cannot relocate the downpipe to the other side), so the bath and basin need to fit on the 2100. The basin I want is 600, so its a 1500 bath for us :(

We currently have a bathroom thats about 1500 square, a separate loo which is 1000 x 600 (will turn into a cupboard) and a cupboard with a chimney in the back. The space is too small to preserve the separate loo, IMO. In 6 months I won't be able to close the door when I use it!

Considered one of those fits-in-a-corner baths? Or is there no way you could fit that either? Or of course you may just not like them - not keen myself.

Of course, when I win the lottery I shall have a BFO house with en suite walk in wet-room.
