How to fit a small bathroom shower
What do you do if you want to setup a shower but you only have a very small bathroom?
Tub Shower
While I love my bathtub for the rare occasions that I get to use it for a long relaxing soak, I don't know what I would do without my shower. Showers are quick, refreshing and a lot more economical than taking baths. When I had the chance to redesign my small bathroom I jumped at the chance to improve the shower that was installed above the bathtub at the time.
The first thing to remember is that there commonly is a way to do these things and you mustn't give up before you've no ifs ands or buts notion about the problem. Don't be put off by the fact that you don't seem to have much room to play with in your bathroom design.
So what are the options?
Throw the bathtub away
Taking out the bathtub will give you more than sufficient room to fit a sizeable shower enclosure. Unfortunately you won't have a bath anymore. While this might fit in well with your current lifestyle you might want to think about what you might have need of a few years down the line and when you come to sell your property.
When you sell a asset you must have a bathroom with a bathtub even if it has a great shower instead. Citizen expect to find a bath in the bathroom and the lack of one can seriously depress the value of your property.
Put your shower in your bathtub
If you have no other selection you can setup a showerhead above your bathtub together with a shower curtain or splashguard. This should be the easiest solution, as it will take up no added floor space. Personally I'm not keen on this option.
Turn your bathroom into a wet room
This is an ambitious make that will involve turning the floor of your whole bathroom into a giant shower base and drain. It can be a very costly selection to change a accepted bathroom into wet room but it has the benefit of allowing you to put your small bathroom shower everywhere you like. Even over the toilet if you want to although I wouldn't advise it.
Install a curved quadrant shower cubicle
The selection that I like best for any bathroom is to setup a cut off shower enclosure either free standing in the room or in a corner of the bathroom. This is a great clarification if you can find the space to adapt the shower enclosure.
The qoute with this idea is seeing the space in a small bathroom to fit the shower enclosure. Enclosures come in varied sizes so you will need first of all to resolve on the smallest size that you think you can live with. Even a very small shower enclosure is good than none at all.
To make the space ready you should think the whole small bathroom design. Find a smaller toilet and washbasin and even a smaller bathtub if you have to. Use squared paper and cut out shapes to try many dissimilar ways of arranging everything.
Finally look at curved quadrant shower enclosures as a space recovery alternative to quadrate or rectangular ones. seeing one of these was the turning point in my small bathroom shower design. All things fell into place nicely after that.
