Which bathroom layout? Choose 1, 2 or suggest

Hi, please see attached, all things are to scale.

I'm in my first property and now renovating bathroom.
I had the boiler which was in cupboard moved (as shown) so now I can use this space.

I'm wanting a shower bath/bath, to replace shower.

I have never done any redesigns, so I'd appreciate any advice.

Let me know if there's any better layout.

I'm able to move sink and shower easily. The toilet is less easy due to plumbing but still able to if essential. I can also remove doors, add walls.

Thanks a lot.

Either looks fine but I am not a designer. The practical re-use of existing pipe and waste layouts has got to be as important as the design.

It's not a major problem moving pipes as I've done plenty of that. I re-did the sink one already as I moved it under the floor. The toilet one is just plastic piping, so again not a huge issue.

So currently if there's a really good design that involves moving pipes, that's fine.

Middle option, as the shower will be easier to fit to the wall over the bath.

A bath is a must.

#3 is a nightmare to get into the shower.

How would you get in the bath on number 3? The square section of the P shaped baths is usually where the shower and screen would be

Have you got the width to put the bath running under the window? Then loo at the tap end, basin either opposite the loo or in the alcove formed by the door (as opt 3).
Or is there room for the loo on its own in the old cupboard space?- might avoid interrupted leisurely baths

It's got to be 2 then

I've taken into account all posters comments (such as the plan where it's not as easy to get in shower) and added the one you mentioned.

I'm glad I asked as I was close to buying a shower bath but have since got an idea I quite like (double ended bath).

See attached. I'm interested in feedback. I'm thinking of going with 2 partly because less modification, and I like that the bath is kind of 'within' the enclosed area.

I don't like 1 because when you open door, it leads straight to main entrance hallway which is a bit inappropriate when going back into bedroom.

I would go for Number 1.

Having the bath tap on the rear of the bath is a big No No, especially when the tap goes wrong or needs replacing, its bath out time.

No. 1, the rest just don't work. Where's the boiler gone btw? In the kitchen and then a kitchen cabinet built tightly around it to ensure minimum access I hope!
