layout design questions for a small bathroom
Comments (5)I have a somewhat similarly sized main/guest bathroom in my house. First, I would swap the sink and toilet locations if that's an option. A toilet is a little easier to get around to turn on the water for a bath tub. Do you need a linen closet? If not, I would be inclined to completely remove it and go with a longer tub. I went from a 5' to a 5.5' tub with a small shelf on the end (where your linen closet is). At only 7.5" long, I don't think you could fit a linen closet along the longest wall....See MoreHELP Need advice for small bathroom layout
Comments (8)The question about cost depends on several factors. Is the bathroom on the first or second floor? Whats below it?? Of course where you are makes a difference as well. We added a master bath last year. It was on the second floor, over a office below and there was no plumbing there at all. The plumber had to bring the entire stack up from the basement and then put in toilet, tub, shower and sink and put the vent up through the attic to the roof. The cost was about $5000- which I thought was reasonable. This was just the cost of labor- valves and fixtures were extra. We also had to pay a carpenter to box in the pipes in the room below and repaint of course!!! (One thing always leads to another) We are in the Boston area. You already have plumbing in the area, as well as an air stack through the roof. Remember too that depending on the size and circumstance of your space raising up the floor might make replumbing much less expensive than either putting it into the floor- or under the floor as we did. Good luck...See MoreSmall bathroom layout question

Comments (5)From the drawings, it is unclear whether any of these options can meet code. The minimum clearance in front of a toilet, tub or vanity is 24 inches. A toilet requires 15-inch clear space from the centerline on both sides. The entry door to a room cannot interfere with a shower door, cabinet door, or drawer. It cannot interfere with a person using any bathroom fixture or appliance. The minimum space for a shower opening is 22 inches....See MoreInnoVision Design & Project Management Inc.
