6 Basic Bathroom Layouts - What Works Best & What Doesn't Make Sense

[@bobocrazzy8]

Love how you guys think about the location of the toilet paper, trash can, and factor in a potential make-up station. You guys keep it realistic for the people

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Thank you for the awesome comment!

[@lonnellwashere]

lol I’ve been exiting the shower the wrong way my entire life. 😂😂

[@paulrodriguez1282]

LOL 😆😆 That's funny. Me too. LOL

[@diamondshark11]

Solid, no nonsense video- I appreciate getting the different points of view. No need to reinvent the wheel when deciding on layouts, and this summary was a good one!

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Thanks so much for the great feed back. We really appreciate it. Thanks for watching

[@bradenmichaud5511]

It never occurred to me to relocate the tub plumbing wall in #1, closing KZbin now and going to get that done in my bathroom renovation. Great to see a channel that follows Alberta plumbing codes, thanks for creating a useful resource guys...keep it up

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Happy to help. Thanks for watching!

[@paulrodriguez1282]

Another Great idea with these bathrooms for more space, is just using a pocket door, or a frosted pocket door for more lighting. It makes the bathroom seem bigger.

[@anthropologistma-phd3693]

Aa a plumber I just said I wouldn't put the drain that end on #1 as it's easier and better to put all pipes on one side but you guys just explain it to me why so I just learned something great.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Awesome! We all learn from each other. Thanks for watching!

[@kennethwoodard9077]

#1 helped me decide for my guest bathroom, thank you guys.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Perfect!

[@unapologeticchristian1052]

I had a rental property with a horrible bathroom layout. I increased the bathroom width by 4 inches (Stole 4 inches from a living room) and went with the #1 layout. The bathroom looks 2x bigger, a lot more walking space and much brighter. These guys have great bathroom layouts and I would recommend people consider these layouts if you are remodeling a bathroom.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Thank you so much 😊 Very nice of you to say that. We are happy we could help you out

[@veryrarecandy6814]

Planning on remodeling my bathroom soon. I only have 1 in my home so I’ll do some variation of #3

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Awesome! Thanks for watching

[@RoyDollwet]

Perfect. It got me thinking and already improved my current bathroom.........Mahalo

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Happy to help

[@austinvickymoore3656]

I have a master bath setup of #1... but the door is on the south wall in front of the toilet and im going to knock out the entire wall and expand it to almost double the size it is so I can put in a tub and where the sink is now will turn into a linen closet of sorts 👍

A functional and well designed-bathroom is such a luxury 💃🏼🙏🏻

[@smallfabuloushome3297]

This will be very helpful for when we will renovate the bathroom❤️

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@scottjacoby2594]

Would #4 potentially work better as a wet room? Instead of that corner shower, put up a couple of glass partitions that don’t meet in the middle (so there’s room to walk in and out) and then put a rainfall shower head so that the shower sprays directly down instead of out to prevent the water from getting to the other parts of the bathroom.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

That’s a great idea

[@dawannwilliams6301]

Great video my main bathroom is #5 remodeling it to a variation of #3.

[@lassaut6794]

Trouble with #5, the door is more than likely going to skim the toilet. This is the way ive decided to rough my bathroom and it was necessary to move the toilet over 8" to defeat this issue Also, the likely hood of not having electrical boxes in the walls you would insert a pocket door in is slim to say the least

[@lutfiyyatimol]

Great informative video.. Can you guys do a layout with a rectangular bathroom with the door on the long side of the rectangle that has both a tub and walk in shower and the toilet and sink too..

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Yes we can

[@Oceangirl1234]

Could you please show where windows would go? Great vid I enjoyed

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Most bathrooms don’t have windows. It would be a personal preference and a matter of where the bathroom is in the home. Bathrooms in windows is a bad idea in my opinion. Especially with showers. Maybe really big bathrooms away from the shower itself. But these style of bathrooms I wouldn’t recommend, but a lot of old houses will have them right in the shower or bathtub are and it’s bad news

[@MastaSergeantShelly]

I'm a total amateur, can you help me figure out what I need to add to make a laundryroom and powder room into a kitchen,full bath and washer dryer? Where do I look, (websites) to know what plumbing and eletric I need to add? thank you. shelly

[@papanimalang8874]

Very nice. I have a huge problem in my master bedroom with closet/vanity/shower and toilet all in one square. Not sure how to modify it????

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

What’s the dimensions ?

[@Hiboyboy123]

So is it legal to have a toilet Right next to the wall? We just have 2 bathrooms in the house that aren't the best. They literally are like a seesaw with the toilets, so they both need to be remodeled.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Yes you can have it next to a wall. Minimum distance is 15” but more is better. And that to the centre of the toilet

[@Hiboyboy123]

My toilet almost seems to be less than a foot away

[@gummi4977]

Hi, speaking of number 4, what should I prioritize first, shorter way of door-to-wet area (shower) or shorter way of door-to-closet? The door is facing the sink.

[@terryhall3593]

I have #1 but toilet faces the sink and tub/shower is to the right of toilet and there definitely is not 15" clearance on both sides..I really want a separate tub and shower somehow

[@ageofanomaly3874]

On a side note. I have a johnwood proline xe 50 gal power vent tank left over from a job 2 years ago. The power vent on it was too loud for the customer... so it’s been sitting in my garage since then. It was installed for 4 days. So the inside is probably rusty from having water in it. To not having water in it. But.... Do you guys want it for a video? Either cut it open. Or you can go to a farm feild and try and blow it up or something. 😈. Have Clayton call me if you guys are interested It would be free. I just want to get rid of it. -AS-one.

i dont like a toilet directly facing a door.....not safe if you accidentally forget to lock the door....lol

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Lol good call

[@jerrypolete5258]

Mine is #2 but the door would technically be on the other side. I’m trying to come up with design ideas for a remodel, got any advise?

[@BoobooOreo]

Hi, may I know the measurement of the bathroom 3 layout please? Thanks

[@coolbean777]

Do you have a open concept suite design? For those smaller 1 bed 1 bath houses roughly 800sq/ft and below houses.

[@grumpygit447]

What works best is what you want

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

That’s true

[@mirvgeorge3290]

Layout number 3 is what size??????

[@sandramosteller9944]

Ok guys let’s see u figure this out….I have a 9x12 area. I need a tub shower toilet vanity and wash n dryer with an entry on both of the 12 ‘ walls

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Ok let’s figure this out!

[@roxannerandle9155]

FOR THE BATHROOM ILLITERATE. HOW MANY BATHROOMS SHOULD BE ON ONE'S PREMISE AND SHOULD THEY BE ROUTED AWAY FROM EACH OTHER IF ONLY FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF DRAINAGE OBSTRUCTIONS IF THERE ARE @ LEAST 3 BATHROOMS AND THE BATHROOM OUTLETS (TUB, FAUCET, TOILET) UTILIZE THE SAME EXTRACTION SYSTEM & FOR ANY OR SOME REASON THAT BECOMES EXTREMELY CLOGGED OR PLUGGED (STOPPED UP) IS IT WISE TO MAINTAIN A SORT OF OUTHOUSE BATHROOM (COMPLETED WITH A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DRAINING SYSTEM MECHANISM AND DESIGN! SORTA LIKE AN EMERGENCY SERVICE BATHROOM 😐

To me, I like a wet room so that it will be easy to clean the bathroom.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

That’s becoming a thing now. I think it’s a great idea

[@gradymoss2405]

For real man

[@KingHarry1]

1:30 I disagree. As a carpenter in the Midwest it’s rare that I see a toilet drain on adjacent side of toilet and vanity it made venting and sweating pipe convenient and maybe it’s just me but nobody exits the shower/tub from the drain side there’s often the shower caddy and the shower head and tub spout to avoid. Great video but really disagree

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Ya these are just different ideas for people. Some are better then others. And unfortunately not all layouts make sense. But these are just common ones we have come across.

[@glentonhaughton6119]

😢

[@ageofanomaly3874]

So in your layouts.... your laying in your tub and your head is 20” away from the toilet Seat 🤮. You don’t think piss spray goes 20”. Lol. I personally push for the drain of the tub to be on the side of the toilet. So when your laying in your tub your head isn’t 20” away from the toilet seat. But. It’s all personal preference Some people like laying there head in piss spray. 😂

[@irfanghazanfar28]

Should first give sq feet area...and then one can plan accordingly.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Good idea! Thanks for the tip

[@julianskinner3697]

Most of these while you are in the bath your head is almost in the toilet.
