Bath layout quandary!

Thanks for all the responses.
The issue with moving the toilet where the rad is and the basin where the bath is is the direction of the joists. I wont be able to pass through the waste pipes as the Joists are running sideways (not from window to door).

I could open the door towards the bath but instead, a slim towel radiator probably wont make much of a difference, given that I have a regular radiator in this location. I would welcome your thoughts on this.

Thanks again.

also, that box in the corner seems to be superfluous? The waste pipes currently connect into this.
 
Arr, i'd assumed the stack was outside the window wall- any scope for moving it out there (always hated internal stack pipes, the whole house can hear a No 2 dropping)?
That window is a bore as well, not quite where the drawing showed it:)

That is a monster window ! !960's house ? In mine I boxed in the larger window with timber, insulation, and finished with tiled Hardie board - so you could do that and mount the shower and screen ;) From the outside you would just see the silver of the Celotex. Assuming the small window above the WC opens:unsure:
 
How about installing a wall mounted shower/bath control on the wall instead of having the taps where you have drawn them? Bath can fill via the overflow, shower plumbed via ceiling?
If its an internal stack you may be able to fit an AAV, chop the stack off and hide it inside a back to wall toilet cabinet?
 
Jeez mate... You really are tight for space in that room... I'd look at a wc and basin compact unit to try and make it look less cramped... And, as said above, it would help loads if you could get rid of that riser bulkhead.
 
Thanks guys.
Is the stack in the corner required as an air vent? Or can I chop it off once I have popped my waste pipes into it? I am hoping to route and fit the waste into the soil stack below the floor level.
 
Yes you would have to have the stack vented and the lowest it could go would be to the spill over level of the basin. That could go inside a slightly extended toilet vanity unit in the corner ( as @SpecialK describes) with a 450mm basin vanity unit beside it (as @dilalio is describing ( I think))

Only real way you can compress that stuff into the corner and free up a little space I would think
 
The boxing in the corner appears to be the vent pipe (I think that’s what it’s called) and hence goes through the house and pops out of the roof.

This means I can’t get rid of it and fan this space in my bath...

However, can I use this for my bathroom extractor? Can that be cut into this rather than a new hole through the wall?

Yup, that's a vented stack. You can't get rid of it but you can cut it down to basin level, put an AAV on it and then hide it in behind the concealed cistern part of a toilet.

A good bathroom fitter/ plumber will be able to make this work for you, as long as you pick your furniture wisely
