space needed for a shower room or extra toilet

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.30 PM

We were thinking of taking a slice of a large attic bedroom for an showeroom. Replies so far have been really helpful re sizes needed (Pipe dreams) to do a toilet or showeroom. I'm new to this site- is 5k(suggested by substructure) the best rate we are likely to get for a showeroom in an attic ? This is more than we can afford :-( If we have to go for just the extra toilet/basin so that we can get as close as possible to the soil pipe we would need to go into a very small space with a sloping roof. Dimensions are 2.3m at tallest part sloping down to 102cms under roof,110cms wide and 90cms depth (ie to back sloping roof) I think this seems to fit with pipe dreams footprint for a toilet/sink but would we get away with the sloping roof ? Would we get a toilet and sink in this space ? and if so roughly what would this cost ? Thanks again for your help. Mel

To fit a small shower, Small Wall Basin and Toilet you need an area of about 1.2m x 1.75m minimum and height approximately 2m and above. If just fitting a toilet, then 1m x .8m Obviously this decides on what size Shower you fit as they start from 760mm x 760mm upwards, Basin from 400mm wide upwards, toilet usually about 350mm wide.

Shower rooms do not require a huge footprint, and 2m x 2m would be ample to fit a good-sized shower cubicle, WC and basin. An L-shape space would require even less space, since the shower could be tucked into one end of the 'L'.

you will need at least 2 ft 6inch for the door. to open inwards for a start. The soil pipe will need to be near the spot where the w.c. is to be fitted. OR you could use a saniflo to pump waste matter to the soil pipe. You can also put the shower/basin waste into the saniflow........

Hi We have just completed a large extension to a property. Included in this was exactly what you have asked for. The room created was 1200mm x 4800mm. Although this made a long thin room it gave ample space for a 1200 x 900 shower enclosure on one short wall, a basin on the one long wall and a toilet on the other short wall. The door was placed off centre between the toilet and the basin. Large white tiles with a bold brick highlighting tile were then used to create additional brightness with a splash of colour. In my opinion, try to make an en suite and not just a toilet. Hope this helps Dave Pearce
