Bathroom revamp, advice appreciated!

Doodle I haven't seen those, but think I would find it seriously weird!

I’d say don’t bother with P shaped bath.... my husband insisted having one when we redid his bathroom.... it’s been used twice in 5 years.... takes forever to fill and it’s a nightmare to get in and out.... we have a small en-suite with a walk-in shower that’s mine.... so much safer !

I have. Just had a new bathroom fitted. I didn’t have a separate shower cubicle before. My Son said by moving the bath and loo I’d get one in.
I also had under floor heating, which wasn’t too expensive. My son did all my electrics (he’s an electrician) this included new lighting under floor heating , ceiling fan and shower. My plumber did everything else. It did drag on a bit and I had to have three baths as two came damaged. The bath had to keep being re ordered, as it was not standard. I considered losing my bath as I do not bath a lot. I’m glad I have kept it as I do now have an occasional one. I must admit this bath is very deep and I worry getting in and out. (I recently lost my husband and live alone)
I can no longer have a ‘quick’ shower as I have to polish everything in site!!! As I said I am on my own so if it’s ‘mucky’ I only have me to blame.
The day it was finished one of my lovely Grandsons was visiting and disappeared for a ‘wee’. He was ages , only to come down to say ‘Haha I had the first shower!’ ?
It did all in all cost £5000 to £5500. It was scaring me, but it is done and will never need to be replaced in my lifetime. ( I hope!)

We have a P shaped bath which is rarely used as a bath, takes ages to fill! However DD had walk in shower removed in new house and replaced by shower over a bath. Her reasoning was pregnancy and bathing babies and small children requires a bath. Experience has proved her right. ?

I'm definitely NOT having a P shaped bath!

Planning an L shaped one, in a slightly shorter length, so the capacity is reduced. Standard length is 1700m, can also get 1600 and 1500. I think the 1500 would be too short, so am considering the 1600.

Hi, Phoenix, I just went upstairs to measure my L shaped bath, turns out it is 1650, nice size. I had the bathroom completely refitted when I retired, with overhead shower with large/small heads, fitted wash hand basin /W.C. unit in high gloss white. It is the only bathroom in my three bedroom house, so I wanted to keep a bath, which I enjoy daily!
Our builders removed all skirting boards, door frames and window ledges, and put in PVC ?ceiling with downlights, tiled floor to ceiling and window ledges, put chrome edging around door, so nothing to paint in future, making it easier for advancing years. Taps are at one side so there is space for bath aid if required at later date.
I once fell coming out of the bath and had bad bruising, like the map of France, on my derriere! My friend, who is a nurse, advised me not to exit the bath from a sitting position cos you can slip while pulling yourself up, but to roll over onto your knees first, then straighten up holding on firmly to rail.
Hope this helps, enjoy your new bathroom!!

Thank you Grannmarie !

I’ve gone for walk in shower/wet room with glass screens. Use a wiper blade type squeegee after every shower to keep glass screen clean. Also got electrician to put motion sensor light under wall hung basin unit which comes on for night time loo trips without putting on the “big” light
