I'm trying to redesign my bathroom to squeeze in a shower. But I can find very few dimensions for toilets. In the shop the smallest ones seem to measure about 45cm in width - but how much space should I allow on each side. I don't want to be sitting with a bum cheek on the shower panel wall! (Any recommendations for cheap but modern bathroom furniture also appreciated. I'm in Manchester UK or can buy on web)
Thanks

Building code requires that you have 15 inches of clearance from the center of the toilet on either side. This basically means you need a 30 inch space.

No. that's because of the fact adult men do no longer gown up - or down - whilst the ladies human beings plumber comes over, so they only gave up on their jobs. that's too undesirable in basic terms fats slob-women human beings substitute into plumbers... If I had a warm plumber woman come over i might tell her she's grimy and supply her a bathtub after she fixed the pipes

i have just fitted a bathroom ,a good distance should be 700 mm when seated,you could go to 600mm but it would be tight..any of the big stores will be OK..but i find you might buy a bath in one store cheap and the sink in another more expensive so don't buy all your stuff in one place ,,,taps, pipes drainage's,you shop about you will save a mint..good luck ..try fitting it yourself with push pipes its easy and a lot cheaper than a plummer...............

When sitting on the "throne" you should be able to poke out your elbows with your hands grasped together without touching the wall, that was what I was taught.
