View Full Version : Bath small - make it a shower?

We have a small bath 5' 6" x 4' 6" that contains a toilet and a sink. We would like to somehow add a shower to that room.

Can we make the entire room a waterproof "shower room" with a drain in the floor and shower fixture in one wall--and still have the sink and toilet?

Would it cost a lot? Floor is slab.

Anyone have any creative ideas for this problem? Thanks for your consideration.

this is a tough one - 5 by 4 is small, further complicated by the slab floor, how would you invision installing a drain?? Any way to make the room bigger? I would imagine you need at least a 3 by 3 area for the toliet and sink that leave very little room for a shower. making the whole thing a shower room is not ideal since there are seams around the toliet etc, your are asking for trouble
