Hi, I am looking at this unit that come with a small bathroom, where the WC is positioned at the middle with little room to pay around with. I want to install the plastic panel/sliding door (at the red line) to separate the shower unit with the WC, to avoid water splashing over. However, it will be too close to the WC, isn't it? Is it possible to move the whole WC nearer to the sink (blue arrow)? Or any better suggestion? Thank you all

Possible to move WC for landed unit, but not for high rise unit.

Use shower curtain instead of permanent screen. The railing can be made to any shape to fit the space and not necessary straight so that there is more room space.

You have limited room space to play around. The reason why the wc is in the middle is because of the door.

You can check with the plumber whether this work ...

Adjust the wc to 45 degree facing the door. Then do a shower screen also at 45 degree. Relocate the shower head to the opposite wall.

Tossing this idea around. What if tore down the whole wall (right side) and rebuild it one feet away. Then move the sink and WC to the right too. Too costly? Or sound stupid?

Then no issue. Go ahead. You can also relocated the entire bathroom toilet. Only money matters.

If it’s on ground floor, can move. But costly. Hacking, water proof, tiling and when open the WC, wc may break if the installer use cement to fix the Wc. Small adjustment but costly.

Cheapest solution toilet curtain

Is still worth the spending to have a bigger and functional bathroom toilet in the long run.

there is a concept of placing a wash basin outside the bathroom (depending on the room layout). then you'll get bigger space for the wc and shower.

Yes, you can move the toilet bowl. Just hack the floor, and extend the sewage pipes to where you want the w/c to be. Finally, make everything good again.

You'll be so much happier in the long run doing this now, even though the cost is a bit high

Yeah. The other bathroom near the kitchen has this wash basin out of bathroom concept, but has similar problem - shower head too near to WC. This one is for the master bedroom so doesn't have much space to wiggle either.

Another idea is not to hack the wall, but change the wash basin to a smaller one, then have more space to move the WC further towards the right side. Can save cost. And maybe change the swing door to a sliding/folding type.
