Moved the Toilet to make room to fit the shower

Originally this was a bathroom; the client required that we convert it to a shower room. The window was an obstacle that made it impossible to fit the shower in the only free area. To resolve it, we moved the toilet to the position under the window and then fitted the shower in the toilets original position.
The exterior wall of the property had to be cored out to allow for the waste from the toilet to be connected to the soil pipe.

There is no point to this video. It is the equivalent of showing two photos of two bathrooms. There is nothing useful presented. What about how the plumbing was routed etc?

Hi Paul , we use the videos to show local clients how a bathroom can be transformed. Sorry it did not give you the information you needed. Happy new year to you from us.

Coventry Bathrooms Ltd - Bathroom Fitters thanks, you did a great job

And the music?!? Jeezuz dude.

Beautiful work! How much would this cost for the toilet to be repositioned

[@medspecgaming1363]

Cost ? With labour charges included.

[@TheXandrarod2004]

The shower and all is nice but where do you place the toiletries? Just curious

[@Laffy1345]

Looks really nice. good job.

[@arianarios4834]

Wow that's amazing. I need something like this done in a new home that i will being moving into. I was thinking of moving my shower and moving the toilet over, to make extra space to my sink and extend it.

[@pateicialane4740]

Prices and show sheer moved please

[@wavelogic8471]

that was easy!

[@misamisa2677]

the idea is to see the work done if its worth the money

[@melissarowsell4652]

why does it have a step all around the floor along the walls? does it contain the plumbing?

[@Coventrybathrooms]

Yes it contains the plumbing which could not be placed in other locations.

That's the strangest thing I've ever seen. It looks horrible and quite ghetto and greatly reduces the usable floor space. I don't see how it ever passed inspection if the enclosure contains any drain lines that must meet specific incline requirements. There are always other locations to route piping within the floor or walls, although they may require structural support modifications.

cost?

Pretty

[@jptully6810]

Could you not have shown a video on how you actually did it?

[@Coventrybathrooms]

Good evening, the reason we take videos is to show people in the local area the finished bathroom look. If you want to find out how to change a toilet position, search for coring out a wall with and connecting a new toilet to a plastic soil stack.

[@razakmanify]

what is the size of the shower 800 or 900 x 1200mm? with 8mm glass?

[@furbuds]

Up

[@Coventrybathrooms]

The size of the shower is 1200mm by 800mm. Is a good size shower.

[@MayankKumar-vj5hb]

How expensive was moving the toilet by that much ?

[@AnneHardingBondiJct]

He hasn't responded to you yet, mayank. ... In fact the toilet need not be moved, if the shower pipe and taps are put on the side of the wall there is no reason that the shower pipe and taps have to go at the "end" of the shower tray platform. .

[@Coventrybathrooms]

Sorry for the long delay, i didnt read the question, i took one day to core the whole out of the wall and to connect the toilet in the new position.

[@Coventrybathrooms]

If you look at the room you will see there is a window above the bath, there is no place to fix a shower screen, so swapping the toilet to the position of the bath gives more space on the wall and a correct fixing for the shower enclosure. When working in a bathroom many elements have to be taken into account. Either the toilet had to be moved or the window. The clients chose to move the toilet.

[@kingdoz]

Also wanting to know what a whole job like this may cost, plumbing and tiling and all. So I found out with 2 quotes, and I have been quoted £1k for the labour (plus all materials) from a local handyman for the exact size bathroom redo and I’m in London, (originally I thought was too cheap but he estimates the whole job being 4 days max all in including tiling and plumbing and a bit of box building for all pipe work so I guess £250 a day is about right) and says he has no need for a separate plumber and he can do the lot himself. Originally I thought he was too cheap as a local company quoted me £3.5k for just the labour of same job (plus of course all materials),. Shall I go for the £1k one man (who showed me some nice pictures too) or pay 3.5k for the company who said the plumbing is done by a plumber and tiling is a tiler and boxing is a carpenter hence they cost quite a bit more than a one man. I don’t want to pay £2500 extra though just for a company’s who clearly has more expensive overheads, so can you really find a ‘good’ jack of all these 3 trades?

[@misamisa2677]

why could window not be part of shower

[@Coventrybathrooms]

Hi Misa, the window area would have been where the shower frame needs to be fitted. This gives two reasons why the window should not be part of the shower Reason 1) There would be no place to get a fitting for the shower screen in the window location Reason 2) The water would escape around the window area. I hope this helps Kind regards

[@kausarjawaid886]

Vanity is too far

[@Coventrybathrooms]

Hi Kausar, if the vanity was closer to the shower or toilet, it would block the area and create a pinch point stopping people using the shower or toilet. The location and postion of the vanity basin allows a pathway to and from the shower and toilet area. I hope this information better explains the reason for the vanity basin location.

Not a useful video in terms of what you had to do.

[@Coventrybathrooms]

Hi Leanne, we use the videos to show local clients how a bathroom can be transformed. Sorry it did not give you the information you needed. Happy Christmas to you from us.
