I do not want to have to move toilet so was thinking of moving door, taking out tub for corner shower (although I'm told I probably don't have the room for that if I put it next to the tub....Good thing is it does have a window.....any ideas appreciated

    Draw a rough diagram of the room with room dimensions and show placement of door and window.
    Take a photo of diagram and post it, it will help you get more responses.
    Also take a pic of the tub wall.

    Do you have a basement under this bathroom? It would be easier to move toilet if you do.

    Look at this bathroom. It is only 9 x 7.

    I think a stand alone shower would be good and would probably give you some storage space. You might have to redo the bathroom :-(

    maybe you need all three corner units - shower, sink and toilet all sharing the same access space down the middle of the room.

    Is this the only bathroom in the house?

    Moving the doorway would indeed give more floorspace.
    Here's an example (window would be door):

    Maybe I'd better ask what you did to your bathroom? Because it's been quite a while.

    I haven't done anything yet, but will be in April when tenants move out. I am still pretty stuck when it comes to doable and affordable ideas for this only bathroom in the house. The space also doesn't have much room for a vanity and/or another piece of furniture for storage. Any additional comments or recommendations would be helpful. I was standing in the shower under the window in the picture that I previously posted.

    This is an old post.
    Houzz has changed the formatting on the individual dilemma page. In the right-hand column, they have changed "Featured and Current Discussion" to "Related (old) Discussions". The new format might actually be helpful IF people read the heading before they pulled up the threads and commented. =(

    The new email notifications aren't directing me to the threads correctly now. I have written in too. =(

    Since you still have no idea what to do, here's a little something from me. I wish I had more information on sizes and what's behind the sink wall and such, but I gave it a try anyway. Let me know what you think.
    If you can move the door there would be more space to stand. You could do a shower where the tub was and a sink next to the toilet, but I thought if you are going to move a doorway, why not close up part of the hallway instead of just the doorway?
    This will give you just enough room to have a corner shower left of the toilet, so the sink an go on the right. Remember a toilet needs at least 33" clearance (check your local building code).
    I hope it will help with your remodel plans/ideas!
