Is 66cm enough space for WC?

[jwilf]

Sorry this is kind of a double post but I want to get a few more opinions. Basically I have a bathroom layout with the toilet at the foot of the bath. The space between the end of the bath and the wall will be about 66cm and I'm wondering if this is enough?

The layout is like this:

I've already ordered a standard 1700mm bath but I'm trying to decide whether to return it and get a 1600mm. The return process is looking like a massive hassle as well, I will need to organize a pallet and return it at my own expense. Ordered from Victorian Plumbing.

So, is it worth swapping or will the toilet be fine? Anyone have a toilet in a small space like this?

Thanks

66cm is pretty narrow. 40cm for pan, 13cm each side.

Does it have to go there? You could put WC where the basin is, basin where the towel rail is, and the towel rail above the 66cm space?

The soil stack position may be an issue with that layout ,but its a better proposition for WC position .

What are the dimensions of the room?

box the wc out to give more leg room

Box it out far enough and you can throw up in the basin whilst sitting on the pan

So a 1700 bath could go where the window is, the toilet next to it, just further "south" than in the drawing
With the wash basin either still further south, or even opposite the toilet, leaving room for a shower cubicle where the shower is now

Turn the bath around as well and you could have a shower, a sh*t, and a shave, all at the same time

To judge whether you think it's enough, put a dining chair 13cm from a wall, then have someone hold a board up 13cm away on the other side. Consider whether there's enough room for your knees when you're trying to squeeze out a log

Christmas Yule log no doubt!

I've decided to go for the 1600mm bath and just deal with the hassle of returning the 1700. I think it will create a much more comfortable space for the loo!

Thanks all.

Update - got the 1600mm bath installed, here is a pic of the toilet now installed in the space:

Toilet next to 1600mm bath

It's definitely a nice comfortable space for the loo, and the bath is still perfectly useable

PS. That pipe is just resting there, that's not a permanent feature!
