The first thing to remember, if you are looking for a small bathroom suite, is that you are not alone. Most modern bathrooms are a good deal smaller than their predecessors; in fact, the average British bathroom is just 2 x 2.5 metres so it’s no wonder that more and more people are searching for a petite bathroom suite.
Before you go out and buy the first bath of the right dimensions you find, consider the choices allowed by your current plumbing and water systems.
For instance moving a soil pipe, this job would probably cost a few hundred pounds at least with the cost of a qualified plumber and the parts needs. But then on the flipside of this moving a soil pipe could free up much needed space in the bathroom giving the room a much better layout.
Most modern houses don’t have room for both a bath and shower unit which sometimes causes problems. There are some who just like a quick shower with others that like to lay in a hot bath with a book in a completely relaxed atmosphere. How do you please both?
In this case you may want to consider a showerbath. These bath units have a curved section at one end that allows plenty of space for showering, these bath units normally have a curved shower screen to prevent water going everywhere. The showerbath makes it possible to please all members of the household.
Bathroom suites and in particular baths come in some many different dimensions that you will be spoilt for choice you are sure to find one that fits your requirements. Some of the smaller compact baths feature a tapered shaped that reduces the amount of floor space taken up and although these sound more expensive often they are not.
You may decide to go with a bathroom suite that saves space in all areas. These suites are specifically designed to make the most of the space you have, they use corner fitting basins and toilets as well as clever storage spaces. This may well be the answer if space really is the main concern. These suites do normally cost a little more but savvy shoppers can normally find these types of small bathroom suites at the right price.
If you do have enough room for a separate shower enclosure, the manufacturers have woken up to the fact that few people have ballroom sized bathrooms nowadays! You’ll find all sorts of enclosures that will fit into smaller areas. Pentangle or corner shower enclosures, for instance, will fit into corners, whilst sliding doors or bi-fold doors negate the need for door space and won’t obstruct the rest of the room.
