Bit crowded cos I was trying to work out sizes but that will work. The soil stack will have to run under the window on the outside wall to meet the other section unfortunately. That is your only way if you want a 1400 shower.
en suite bathroom placement ideas...

its not external.. its goes through the floor and is boxed in my dining room, another pic?
Thats was muted as an option but I dont want a stack on the outside.. it would be quite visible in my back garden. The shower doesnt have to be 1400.. I just didnt want one with doors and runner n stuff as they get all sh1t up. The idea of a walk in with minimal profiles, no door or runners appeals to me.
I know pal, so where I've drawn the shower, the existing stack from the other bathroom will run under the shower. But to make it work, you will have to have another section of soil pipe from the toilet, run externally that will meet with the other section (bottom right hand side)
Just read your post about stack being internal, that makes it feckin awkward.

yes I got that in the end... see post above ^^
Just got yours too, internal stack makes it awkward but you'd have to go external and go back in with it, will be mega awkward but can be done. As u know you can't go through the joists, only other option is fitting a cubicle shower would give you more options.
Yes I am getting that now.. but I absolutely hate the things.. they seem to leak every year and get gunged up with all the moving parts and the chrome corrodes. In short they are sh1te.
The walkins with just a slim profile and no moving parts was a real attraction...
Could use 1000x700 shower and have the toilet next to it right ontop of the stack. Will be feckin tiny tho imo
wouldnt have to be 700... could be 1000x800 or 1000x900 if door opens into bedroom.
If door was opening into bedroom you could have shower full length of the new partition wall, the door next to window wall, window in the corner by the soil stack, toilet ontop of stack (almost) and the sink next to it or to the left of the door, either or. If that makes sense
the wall adjoining bedroom would only be 1450 and I thought door was 900? only leaves 550 width for a shower?
Don't have to use 838 frame, to be quite honest that's for wheelchair access but if it's upstairs they'll have a job getting the chair up nevermind thru the door. Can use 762 (usual) or a smaller frame which can range from 600-700 (not sure exact sizes) which would improve wallspace. Still gonna be tight either way.
considering every mm is precious in this situation. what is the thinnest stud wall I can create? from the back wall to my window is 1610, leaving 10mm after the window gives me 1600...
that 1600 gets consumed by the shower tray, the door, stud frame, a layer of backerboard each side, tile adhesive and tiles (nothing exotic say 9mm)
so the only element i can influence is the stud frame.. the door and for obvious reasons i want the shower tray as wide as possible.
door = 750? (inc frame tiled up to)
shower tray 760 = 748mm as 12mm consumed by tiles (getting one with 3 upstands)
2 x 6mm backerboard (is 6mm ok) = 12mm
2 x 9mm tiles =18mm
2 x tile adhesive = 6mm (too little)?
running total is 1534mm, leaving only 66mm for the frame.. say 50mm for margin of error.
is 50mm enough for a framed studd?

Run the soil "branch" (not stack) outside and you can have the ensuite(s) you desire... they add value to a property... visible branches do not detract from it!
Make the waste work the easiest way possible and enjoy comfort living from the inside without worrying about what you see when you look up on the odd occasion... that's what I'd do!
