I suggest don't remove the toilet from the 2nd bathroom's bath. I have read on here that room design software is inexpensive. You could use a tool to layout the dimensions you propose for the 30" for tub, 30" for shower and 60" for double vanity like the layout I found for a 5 feet x 7 feet bathroom. My tub was 32 inches wide and I switched to 30" size (Kohler Archer tub is popular here). You can get a vanity from a kitchen cabinet showroom made to any width and I recommend that -- it is no more expensive than finding a prebuilt vanity and you get to pick out exactly the wood color/sink/counter/faucets you want.

I just put in a search engine '5 by 10 bathroom floor plan' and got cool results I'll add next post.

Better Homes and Gardens site has photos and plans for ideas

and Kohler has tools on their site too.

This link shows a simple layout that is the same dimensions as yours and it shows a 60 inch wide vanity but with one sink. (I don't vouch for the source of these plans...free is free!)

I can sympathize. We just remodeled a master bathroom not too much bigger, and squeezed in a soaking tub, toilet, shower and double vanity....

In my opinion, 62" is not enough width to have a reasonable shower and enough space to walk past it. You really want 36" minimum for shower width or it will feel tight. 62" - 36" is only 26"... not enough space.

I drew this out for you and I think the best option is to put the tub at one end and a 36" wide shower at the other, and a 55" vanity between them. But that layout depends on where the doors are located and which way they swing.

What is on the other sides of these walls? Would it be possible to steal even a few inches somewhere (closet, etc) in order to make the layout work?

if you can post even a rough sketch with dimensions labeled and surrounding rooms/walls then perhaps someone can come up with a workable plan.

I agree with Stacey, it doesn't sound like you have enough width to make a shower work. It would be so tiny, that it would be more of a negative than the tub/shower.

Thanks for all the replies. I thought I was going to get an email where there is follow up, but apparently not.

This is the link to the KB Home site which still has the floor plan. Click on interactive plan for Plan 1 M. The master is on the 3rd floor, and it's the standard plan.

There is no door to the bathroom from the bedroom. The length of the tub is 62" wall to wall. There is 16" between the tub and the vanity. The vanity is 72". I forgot to measure the tub width (I haven't move in yet) but it's a big oval tub, and I think it's 32" which bring the length to 10 feet.

I am open to tear down walls, move the toilet, etc. But not sure how costly it would to move plumbing for toilet drain.

You can also see the toilet in Bedroom 2 which is tiny. In my previous post, I was talking about removing the toilet, vanity and shower and just put a tub and a smaller vanity there. We are going to use Bedroom as a study.

Here are a couple of photos of the bathroom.

This is a picture of the bathtub and shower enclose which a frameless glass panel at the Las Vegas Aria hotel. Does it looks ok if I put a smaller version of this in at the end (after putting in a shorter vanity). Maybe 32" for the tub, and 30" for shower., couple inches for the door, and a 55" vanity.

Ok, so yours is a mirror image of the plan you linked, I guess?

Well, you don't want to have the door to your WIC open into a wet room (which is what you'd be creating with the tub/shower area pictured above...) We considered an enclosed wet room like you're considering -I have some inspiration pics of them- and I think it can work in the right space. But the closet access is a big issue here.

I tried to draw it but I'd need better measurements. I'm not sure there's a way to reposition WIC access without moving the toilet, but there might be if I had actual dimensions. The length of the wall that the closet door is in, etc etc etc.

Can you find out how the DWV plumbing is run? I think relocating the toilet might be your best bet... it certainly opens up a whole bunch of possibilties, anyway.

Hi

I finally got my key a couple of days ago.

So yes the plan I posted is a mirror image.

I forgot that there is a door to the closet. I wonder if I close up the door, and move the door next to the toilet bowl, and remove the door for the toilet bowl, if that will work. But it might be weird to have the entrance to the closet next to the toilet.

I got some better measurements.

The length of the tub is 62". But there is 2 inches of wall on one side of the tub, which I think is hollow. I don't know why it isn't flush with the wall where the doors to the closet and toilet are.

The width of the tub from the wall backing is 41". From that same wall to the side of the vanity is 58". To the side of the cabinet is 59".

I am tempted now to put a 59" x 32" tub (or maybe a 60"!?) next to the vanity (along the same wall), and I will have 32" to work with for a wall in shower on the doors side?

Or any suggestion would be good.

Few days ago, I came up with this:

But I think this is going to cost big time, involing moving the toilet, and half of the vanity, redoing the floor, wall,etc. And I don't know if the entrance to the closet would be too small (3 feet).

By the way, I don't know how the DWV plumbing is run. Any thing I need to look for?

In your plan, I like the bathroom setup OK, but the closet wastes a huge amount of space. You won't really be able to use that whole 3' hall-like section inside the door for anything, save maybe a few items on hooks along the wall. 3' is not enough for hangers and space to walk past....

I've always thought this was a very clever solution. He managed to squeeze an awful lot into a standard small condo bath, but of course not a double vanity. Just something as a source for bouncing ideas around:

Oops, forgot to say he also stole a foot or so from adjoining space.

Looking at your drawing, this occurs to me: If your plan for the double vanities is so that both of you can use them at once, I'd go for a pocket door, or the one who has the whack from the swing door is going to be pretty cranky every morning. That's assuming the door really is going to be a door. If just the arch, then it works okay.

Wow this miami beach bathroom is nice, for such a small space (even with 1' added). I didn't know there is a tub in such a shape.

I came up with a drawing for what I described in my last post, without tearing down a wall. Since I found 59 inch between the cabinet and the wall backing (a one piece culture marble like stuff), about 1/2 inch thick. Maybe I can steal that, and then the backer board on the wall so it starts from top of the tub, and get full 60"? Or maybe just a 59" tub.

Assuming the tub is 32" wide, so 32" for the shower including the tile. The glass on the tub side starts on top of the tub.

I hate to say it but I think that shower will feel way too tight. 32" minus tile thickness? We had a 36" neo-angle shower when we first moved into this house. Now, I am very thin, and I was NOT used to a big shower (only had a tub/shower combo before) but that shower felt way too cramped. You hit your elbows every time you reached up to shampoo or whatever.....

Can you post a scaled plan or even a sketch with all dimensions labeled, including surrounding rooms? That would help people try to help you come up with the best floor plan.
