I did a cavity door to my small bathroom. I reused the existing door and left the existing door handle. It was a beautiful door and that way stayed within the look of the rest of the house.

Yes thank you for your thoughts. the room is 2.8 (with window) vs 3.4m. I do find it a bit annoying too as I don't like that you open the door and see straight away into the shower (though I'm certain the door would have a lock). I'm sure they lined the bath up to be with the window as visually that looks better, but then I find the space at the end annoying. I like the alternative drawings (I like three of them lots!) and I had been considering an drop in bath built wall to wall rather than a freestanding but also finding it frustrating to find a really nice supportive bath and there are less drop in baths than freestanding around at the moment which is a bit annoying. Thanks Anna for the picture, that helps as that looks good (though we would have more space at either end, 50cm) and I prefer the look of yours with some space but not as cavenous... I think I might have to have a talk with my husband as we really need to work out what to do!!

No seperate laundry - WM is in second bathroom. Clothes line as per pictures (top right). Sliding doors lead to the garden (paved). Shower room is 1.76 x 2.37. Bathroom is 3.17 x 2.05 (plus toilet on top on length). width of hallway is 1.5 but has a slight shift to the right where the kitchen and living doors are. 3.45 m long until the doors start. The roof will be a nightmare whatever we do. Main house (bed 1, living/dining, kitchen and shower room) are tiled, beds 2 and 3, lobby and bathroom sloping corrugate. Pergola is an apex roof parallel to the back wall (yes, it leaks). No budget, but would obviously prefer as little plumbing and wall movement as possible. We are coping with the current horror of our living conditions quite well so we will just keep saving until we can afford what needs to be done.

The door should open onto a landing not step down. Can you extend the floor at the upper height.
