    Question thinking of making downstairs wc into a wetroom

    hi everyone, i'm new

    I dislike having to shower over the bath so am thinking of converting my downstairs wc into a wetroom

    The room is 160 x 105cm which is too small for a shower cubicle so i thought a wetroom solution would be best with a curtain to stop too much splashing

    The WC & toilet will be on the wall below the window & shower in the corner.

    There is already a fan etc for ventilation

    Just wondered what everyone thinks?

    we'd have that sheet flooring that curls up & tile the walls.

    Do you think the sizes are too tight?

    gives you a sq mt to shower in, thats ok, whats the floor substrate, you will need to think about falls to the drain, a linear drain might be easier.

    thats the same size as my cloakroom too small imo. i take it the floor is concrete/screed? you would have to create fall for waste, which may cause problems with door threshold, door would have to open outward. i would think you would have to move radiator. sparky to put new cable in for shower. just for starters

    That doesn't leave you a huge amount of room to be honest.

    Don't be discouraged though. If you plan it correctly you can achieve some usable space. You need to plan according to what's available. Put some layout on a piece of paper. Then you can assess and decide for yourself. Bear in mind that available space you've got is not much bigger than bath itself. But i think i've seen such room made as a sample in ikea. Although this was only a concept and it did not need to be a useable, practical space.
