I have a shower over bath combo' which its plastic resin something? It's a old bungalow and pitifully small. The amount of times I have nearly slipped over getting out, or lost my balance with soap in my eyes/ or after having a glass of wine. hate hate it. I did see a shower room with a additional hand held device and a over head shower. I thought that good for the odd squirt your feet down. The next owners will probably rip it all out and start again any way when design ideas change.

@mlk01, You are right about the message button, I have it on my profile but no one else seems to so that's odd! If you click on my profile for example, you will see on the top line right beside the profile picture: Your house, Ideasbook, Bookmarks, Activities, Messages. In fact I remember that when anyone typed a reply like I'm doing now, you used to be able to click a "private" button, which meant only the person you were typing to saw your comment. Perhaps Houzz can answer these anomalies?? I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, never got into it and have no reason to do so anytime soon ha-ha As for talking privately to someone, you could post your email address here as could oklouise and delete it whilst you are still able to edit, as I've done once in the past. Just not sure how long the edit feature lasts.

Hi RE your relocation options, the plumbing is probably going to dictate what your design options really are. Apartment renovations are quite a bit different to normal reno works in that there are often a lot more restrictions as to what you can do. For example, in older buildings, the drain for the bath is often a smaller diameter pipe than the shower as it doesn't need the flow rate. This means that moving the shower to the bath results in long high pressure showers filling up the floor (so you definitely need a hob) because of poor drainage, particularly if you don't keep hair out of the drain. As the floor drain plumbing is often situated either within the slab or penetrates into the ceiling space below, it is not able to be changed without major works and cooperation of others. The water supply and the waste usually go back to a plumbing stack so your options also depend on the proximity to that. Many things can however be done, but the overall plan of the apartment needs to be looked at re stack/access to pipes/check pipe diameters. With a bit of creative re-working we have installed additional toilets and shown other residents some of the possibilities in the apartments we have done but every apartment is different. My tip would be to do some research within your complex as to what has been done by other owners and speak to them about the issues they had to overcome. If you don't know of any you could easily do a web search for your street address and you will see previous advertisements for apartments for sale along with (usually) pics. You could then approach them and ask how it went. It mightt save you some $$$ and time. Cheers

my first suggestion has minimal plumbing changes and no wall changes although i would reverse hinges on the entry door, space for a 90 x 90 shower and rotating the toilet should be quite straightforward for a 730 wide toilet space ( a little tight but adequate for most people especially if you're ok with a 620 door) a standard 1500 x 450-500 vanity will fit under the window and the gap at one end is ideal for hanging a hairdryer with a handtowel rail higher up the wall, there's wall space next to the shower for a bath towel rail and a mirror doored wall cabinet would be ideal...and, for a little more expense another option with a double shower.. a relative term with bathrooms that are always more expensive than expected but well worth obtaining quotes to find out costs for both options for comparison..ie do you want a generous shower or vanity? btw i think moving walls in a solid brick house has potential unwelcome surprises and doesn't improve options and installing different fixtures will need new flooring and waterproofing anyway so no better time to do a full upgrade and changes to the floor is the best way to achieve a walk in shower but you need to discuss with a plumber before making any decisions
