Thanks for all the great feedbak guys any way we could improve it?

Lovely transformation. What size is the new walk-in-shower? What length is the glass screen? Do you find it an adequate length to avoid water splashing out past the glass screen?

Hi Watchedpoppy its 900mm you can do larger the client requested the smaller opening. There is quite a lot of fall on the floor that you cant really see but 1200mm would of worked just as well :)

I think it looks great, Good to see that it can be done in a smaller area. Walk in showers are #1 on our list for our "rest of life" house to ensure accessibility and easy cleaning in our older years.

It looks really nice. Ease of cleaning appeals to me. Like others, I wondered about splashing in a shower that size.

It looks great. And walk ins are definitely easier to clean.

We did a very similar thing. To reduce water spray, we were advised to relocate the shower head so the direction of flow isn’t towards the opening. I’m glad we did. Ours is deeper at 900x1200, but there’s still some splash - it’s unavoidable.

A tip: The mistake they made with ours was not putting enough angle on the floor (or the niche). Water just sits there, instead of finding its way to the drain.

Dm Stan I am haven’t the argument with my husband at the moment. I don’t want rose opposite the entry to shower, he does

Hehe. Do hubby a deal, Kate. The rose can go where he wants ... provided he cleans the bathroom from here on in!

Some water does still splash beyond the 1200 of glass, but I can see it would’ve been worse if the rose was opposite the opening (especially if the fitting has any angle, as opposed to one where the water comes straight down from overhead).

I'm all for wet rooms as such but although this one is beautiful I am sure that there will be a lot of water on the floor, so take care when exiting after the shower. The rain shower overhead is quite a long way out from the wall. Hopefully your floor drainage is good. You might need an attractive place to store a mop, but you can certainly enjoy the aesthetics of the rest of the room.

My walk in was well over a metre deep and width was a couple of metres to the wall. The glass screen was a metre and a bit so there was no splashing into the room. The shower came off the end wall same as the pic however it was one of those variable height showers on a rod, I have no doubt the shower in the pic will be splashing into the room which would drive me nuts.

Mine looked great, so open, neat, big, except the floor hadn't been layed properly so instead of the water going toward the drain under the shower head it went all over the bathroom, nearly 3 metres out right down to the loo creating a massive puddle in front of the vanity as well. Getting it sorted with the builder was nightmare I eventually gave up and ended up having a low barrier installed from glass to wall. It still looked fine and stopped the problem but one really has to ensure the floor angle is done properly before embarking on the walk-in shower exercise.

Why so many problems with which way the water flows? Every time I think about renovating our 20 year old bathroom and fixing what the builder didn't do properly I start to think about what might be done even worse.

@macy. That’s why Houzz is so great. You get to learn from everyone’s mistakes and wisdom. I wish we had’ve discovered all the valuable lessons and advice BEFORE we started our renos. We would have been in a better position to spot the amateurs pretending to be a professionals a lot earlier in the process.

We had a lot of input into the design of the cabinetry, right down to the mm, thanks to some brilliant, can do cabinetmakers - called Benchmark.

There’s only a small list of mistakes we’ll avoid when we upgrade our ensuite:

1. We won’t source from Beaumont Tiles.

2. We will make sure there’s sufficient angle on the floor so water drains away, not just sits there. Ditto on the niche.

3. We won’t be talked into a supposedly trendy grate that’s positioned right where you stand under the shower. It’s mega uncomfy underfoot, and looks stupid.

4. We won’t source from Beaumont Tiles.

DM Stan: #5 and we won't source from Beaumont Tiles! #6 and we won't....

You have to tell us why now DM.

macymacmaples: It's super important to get the position of the shower right. In my current home my tiny space with shower placement is on the narrow wall. I thought it would be better on the end wall so it would create more room. Problem is the way the water would flow, parallel with the open fixed glass, so it would flow out of the recess.

A friend with their newly designed guest bathroom wanted the shower facing the glass shower door and went ahead against advice. Water pours out the door making a mess on the floor. Details are important.

@della. Details are very important. About everything. We were tricked about the fall of the tiles by a dodgy builder.

And Beaumont supplied tiles from 2 diff batches, but delivered them in heavy rain, so all the batch numbers on the boxes disappeared, and they said that was ok, despite the delivery guy being offered a better spot to leave the stock, under cover. Then, when all the tiles were put on the wall everything was fine, ... until they were grouted. They were different colours. It was amazing. There’s no way you could tell before hand. Photos showed that. Despite a Beaumonts rep accepting full responsibility, it took management SEVEN weeks before someone was brave enough to put their signature to the repair work. In the meantime we had no laundry, no bathroom for the entire demo stage, the work stage, and the rebuild after the acknowledgement of F up.

Months and months! They didn’t give a hoot!

Love the revamp. Superb and modern with a sense of extra space. Worried about overspray as no door but I could live with that for this look. Well done!

Maybe it could work a bit like a car wash? The water comes out of the shower head.... and industrial fans mounted on the wall outside the shower blow any water spray back in on you so it doesn't spray out of the shower? ;) Just need to add a shiny disco ball above and you've got your own rock concert for one lol.

DM Stan: So sorry for your experience. I've had similar problems, I'm sure there are so many negative experiences just here in Houzz that a thick book of 'Don't Do This!' warnings awaits an entrepreneurial Houzz member.

It comes from the fact that most of us are trusting and believe or want to believe that the so called 'experts' wouldn't do us wrong.

I listen to my gut now, about absolutely everything. If my gut makes even a tiny squeak I now stop and re-examine my latest decision. I pause, take a breath, re-do the figures, check the legal/council requirements or the background of the 'professional' I've hired. It doesn't mean I get things right all the time but sure beats the seemingly relentless number of costly stuff-up's of times past.

This bathroom turned out so nicely! The bowl sinks add a nice touch to the overall style. - Rhiannon
