Staircase bulkhead in bathroom - ideas?

It is very difficult to give answers to this without seeing the room and having measurements. Your best bet would be to invite a couple of bathroom fitters in and see what advice you get. You can dismantle the bulkhead but you have to remember that it is covering up an area where the staircase ceiling comes through the bathroom floor - so you wont get a usable flat space. The size of the bulkhead probably shows the area that the staircase ceiling takes up so the floor area you have now is roughly the floor area you will have with the bulkhead removed. Can you put a bath in the space? Possibly, because one end of the bath is angled and if you are lucky this will correspond with the space taken up by the staircase. Note the staircase ceiling is not strong enough to support a bath. The bath feet have to be able to sit on the floor, supported by floor joists. Hope this helps Doug

Hi. You cannot remove or change the bulkhead without major building regulation changes but placing a single ended bath in that position is a good idea, it will reduce the appearance of the bulkhead as some of it will be hidden underneath the slope of the bath. Regards, Chris

I agree with both Chris and Doug. However If the space in question is just too small to accommodate a normal bath then an alternative option could be an Omni Tub. They are smaller but much deeper and come in a decent variety of shapes and sizes. You get the same amount of bath but with a smaller footprint. Really handy for small bathrooms. Hope this helps.
