When preparing a house for sale, it is quite advisable to freshen up (at least) kitchen and bathrooms. Potential buyers are often more interested in buying a house that has these elements already done and then add their finishing touches to living room, bedrooms, etc, instead of having to re-do kitchens and bathrooms (because they always feel these will cost a bomb and they might find issues too). I would definitely recommend that you renovate your bathroom so you maximise your chances of selling at a good price. The trick is not to overcapitalise (i.e. spending more than you will gain when selling). With the bath, I totally second fiona_ab's comment above on pretty much every point she makes. Free-standing baths look great in large bathrooms where they can rally be seen (ideally, we should be able to easily walk around the bath). From the picture I see, your bathroom seems to be a little too small for this. Besides, built-in bath tubs tend to cost significantly less. I would also not recommend to knock down walls to include the toilets, for the reasons given by both commentators above: privacy/practicality and additional costs involved. Changing your tiles (floor and walls!), putting in a new white bath tub, replacing current tapware with contemporary ones and installing a new vanity with a large mirror above it will make a massive change to your bathroom and that could be reflected at sale time. I hope this helps :)

hi we have about six months ago now, re done our bath room , similar size to yours, and , i can take some photos and email them to you , we have maximised space, and walls , put in a white stone bath under the window , it is a metre in width , with a cool water spout coming off the centre under the window we pu t afalse ledge in to sit , candles etc on , , we tiles floor to ceiling, off white , wall mirror cabnit with three mirrors , inset into the wall so its only sits out a we bit from the wall tiles , floating bath room vanity , so that it makes the floor space look bigger , . matching stone square basin sits ontop of the vanity to one side so plenty of room to sit all your bath room stuff when need be , seperate shower all tiled as well , with inset , shelves for shampoo etc, also , when you open the bath room door and walk in when you close the bath room door behind it next to the shower is a very narrow floor to ceiling shelvec for towels, now the hole is there we jaust havent got the shelves put in yet. , we gt loads of comments as the bth room dosent look small evn though it is , , most expensive item the sqwat extra wide stone bath , made to order basin / tap ware and shower spray thing ,oh and the white stone vanity which we had made to order as well , due to the sizing .

something like this may suit without altering the plumbing too muchor this arrangement adds more privacy from the living area, has the bath in the main bathroom, a bigger shower in the ensuite and more space for mirrored wall cabinets and a fixed "window" above the mirrors could add extra daylight between the bathrooms

The windows will run the entire width of the room so 2700 w but starting at around 1700 off the ground.. Floor and walls will be tiled and architrave will be timber. Window frames are UPVC.
