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.

Thanks for the insight. What would you do if you are in my shoes?

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.

Did think of that, but not so fond of curtain as it makes the room looks abit cheap..

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?

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.

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.

U can already use the water now right? If u think the water is not filing fast enough then u will need a pump. U can check with the shop by telling them how many toilets and kitchen. They will propose u the pump size.

Not yet, only the show house unit is ready. So this few things caught my eyes.

Like another member mentioned, the WC is probably there so the door can clear when open/close. Change it to a folding door. I did that for my small bathroom and it “felt” more spacious cause it makes getting in and out feel easier.

Just curious do you have the measurements for your bathroom? Really does look small.
*
It does look small indeed. I have not taken the measurement, just visual.

Yes, I think combination of moving the WC to the right, change to a smaller wash basin and folding/sliding door will do the trick. Just hope this does not affect the floor tiles that much.

What is the reason to move the WC at the first place? Due to floor size?
