Can I partition large disabled adapted bathroom without damaging floor?

Hi Is the room what is typically called a wet room? If so, it is likely that the floor has been tanked using a waterproof membrane which seals the floor and runs up the walls by around 100 mm, effectively forming a sealed "tank". Fitting a stud partition wall has two issues: 1) In normal cases the base of the wall would be nailed or screwed to the floor, thus piercing the tanking and 2) the new wall would not be sealed by the existing waterproof membrane. If you were to fit a new wall across the exisitng membrane you would need to seal it, so fixing the wall to the floor isn't anissue. So now you have to seal the new wall - what has been used over the sealed membrane i.e. has the floor been tiled, covered with a rubber material or another method? If tiled, tiles can be removed, further waterprrod membrane applied, then retile. If rubber material has been applied the only safe waty is to reapply to the whole area that is the new bathroom. Hope that's helpful. Rob

Hi, You have to re-waterproof the room, once the wall is being moved - the waterproof coat has to be redone along the wall which is moved.
