    Should be more than enough. All too many showers are 700-ish which is a little tight when you have to raise both arms over your head to dry yourself in the shower cubicle

    If you can't do bigger than 900 x 900 then that works ok. I was just suggesting if you are changing everything and enlarging the ensuite, a bigger shower would be nicer.

    My reasoning for big showers in ensuites is because the purchasers will be using that space, as well as the Master/WIR and kitchen also.

    So if I were wanting to appeal to buyers, these are the spaces I would focus on making the best.

    Can you show it mapped out/drawn? I think it could be a little bigger and still work but at the end of the day 900 x 900 is ok - just would be nicer if it was 900 x 1100

    I'm confused, aren't those contradictory?
    Having said that, I like the sketch! :)

    @SOULFLY3 - you could turn the vanity 90 degrees or use a corner vanity to get a longer shower.

    If you move the cavity slider further up the wall you could have the vanity opposite the toilet then extend the shower so that it's 900 along the window wall but 11 or so along the other wall

    Finished ensuite Few weeks back and just waiting on mate for Black shower screen installation and I have to mount circle mirror.
    happy with result and plenty of room so not bothering with cavity slider
    All up came to just under $2800

    P.s I am hopeless with panoramic on iphone !!

    Well done! that's incredibly good value.. very nice tiles and vanity event though they're budget.
    It goes to show how much off a margin is in bathroom renovations.. I'd say a bathroom renovator would charge approx. $12k?
    Will you have a certificate for the waterproofing? I had to provide one when I sold our last place.. it seems b&p inspectors are getting clued up on this.

    Yes I would guess approx that I will keep you posted on main bathroom
    Yes my mate is a waterproofer & caulker he did that so will chase a cert once main bath is waterproofed :)

    Morning guys here is a sketch of main bathroom
    I think Shower has to stay in same spot
    bath I have already purchased 1780 x 800mm wide

    I have tried other lay outs but I think this is best + easiest for my plumber and is enough room to move

    shower 1200 x 900 is ok?
    Vanity 1200 x 500 would a single basin be ok?
    (Also have a 1200 x 800 shaving cabinet purchased already)

    I believeyou will need 100mm from each wall etc to be able to clean around it, will the Vanity allow cleaning behind the bath?

    Wall mounted Vanity?
