Default Minimum size for a shower room?

What's the minimum size you could fit a 760x760 shower, a very small basin and toilet? One dimension is fixed at 1.57m, what could I get away with on the other dimension?

Thanks

You'd need to do slalom course to get to the shower


Unless you've got sliding door to the room

Be a bit more specific then please

I'm fixed at 1.57m in one dimension, what's the very least I can get away with in the other? It just needs to be functional, the basin can be very small and the toilet 'compact'.

Cheers

You could have a shower room as small as a shower cubicle if you wanted.

A standard size door is only 750mm wide, so this could still (just) open inwards directly in front of the shower, within Ding's max length of 1.57m. Basin and loo would be along the opposite wall, loo at far end next to the shower, sink opposite the space the door opens into. Shower cubicle obviously has to open facing the door into the room. With this layout 1.25m x 1.57m would be plenty.

I've just finished one in an extension I'm building, made it more like a wet room with just tiles on the walls and floor, the floor tiles angle towards a central recessed plug hole, it's 186 cm long and around 94cm wide door way is slightly off centre to the right, toilet on the right as you walk in and shower on the left with the sink under it, the door slides to the left.

The shower will only get used in the summer when I have tourists for 3 months so mostly just a toilet but I needed the shower facility so did it that way as a shower base would take up too much room, not decided if I'll use a curtain or fit a half glass door on the back wall.

Mine is like this but my door is where the window is and the shower and sink are where the photo is taken from, works perfectly, you could quite easily lose 30cm and make it ish 1.5m long, which is about what you have so a metre wide is enough.
