also need to see the bathroom in context of the whole house a whole house plan with measurements will be useful...sometimes just moving a door can make all the difference to available space

I don't have complete dimensions as the real estate scanned them in wrong but I'll edit to include what I have thanks

My favorite bathroom, looks like you will be able to do it, but more detail would be really good, Congratulations on your new home

as long as the bathroom is at least 1800 wide you should be able to squeeze in a freestanding bath but there wouldn't be much space for a vanity and the floor would always be wet?? but i'm wondering what your plans for the rest of the house are and if the bathrooms are in urgent need of repair or could wait until other work is done ..based on guestimated dimensions this floorplan shows some potential EXTRA spaces that could be rearranged for more comfortable bathrooms sizes

Wow thank you oklouise! We are planning to renovate bathrooms, kitchen, laundry and floors. I'm not sure our budget would stretch to moving the internal walls but maybe we would be better living in it as is saving and making bigger use of the space.

good idea...it's always disappointing to finish a partial reno and discover other options when it's too late to change, in the meantime make sure all the boring bits...gutters downpipes, tiles and gardens are in good order and consider a paved area with a pergola to make best use of the outdoor areas, best of luck

If you use one of the smaller (eg. under 800 in width) 'back to wall' style 'freestanding' baths, so it can go right up against the wall then you should be ok. A fully freestanding bath needs adequate room between it and the wall for cleaning). Generally, showers are best if 900mm or wider but this arrangement means you can gain a little elbow room above the bath. I'd still suggest allocating min 800mm for shower - most people would centre the shower head and so you don't want to reduce the elbow room too much on the glass screen side (hope that makes sense?) ...If you combine an up to 900mm vanity with a mirrored wall cabinet you should have a decent amount of storage space.

scottevie that's the exact type I've been looking at and I think it will work well. I think though thanks to oklouise I will rethinking the entire renovation job. Can you all guess we've never done this before :)
