Hire a Kitchen and Bath Designer and budget 40-70K for your project.

Thanks acm, my first time posting! I should have indicated the doorway (no windows. Adequate lighting also part of the new plan.) Currently electrical switches and plug in are located on the 1 ft 8-3/4 inch wall as you come in the door. Here is another version of the sketch with 28 inch door shown (swings right) and rough version of existing fixtures "x" marks current drains. Two contractors have told us moving the toilet is no problem - our crawl space is open - so plumbing is accessible.

I think there is plenty of potential here, but a kitchen and bath designer would be the way I went with this project.

Probably will get a design done. Has worked for me in the past. Thought I’d try Houzz contributors, as I have seen many a good idea exchanged here!

Agree with others on the bath designer, but here are some thoughts just to brainstorm. What's the length of the shower/tub wall, I can't quite read the numbers.

I'm thinking keep the toilet where it is and put a tall linen cabinet where the vanity is. Then new vanity where the tub is. Could trade off some of the vanity space for a bigger shower if you want. Give the toilet more breathing room than it has now though. NKBA recommendation is 18" from centerline to wall or other obstacle; code is 15".

Thanks Caligirl5! These are configurations we are considering, but each has its drawbacks/advantages. (Shower/tub wall is 7 ft 9.5 inches.) Definitely want to go bigger shower (problem is door placement, would love a walk-in that wouldn't cause entire bathroom to get wet!) Placing the toilet by door opening is a hesitation, but bathroom is part of master BR suite and no one sees in that doorway. I liked your idea of placing the linen closet where the current vanity is, but will mean blocking current light switch and plug in and more electrical work for relocating on back wall. Also, opening the door on that cabinet with toilet so close, awkward?

What do you think of moving toilet to location by the door, installing a 58-1/2 inch vanity with a tall narrow cabinet on top of the vanity - to the right - above where toilet is now and sink & mirror to the left (which is where it is currently)? Picture kind of shows my idea. Still leaves the shower enclosure design as a problem...I know, I know, hire a designer!

I like your vanity idea. Why not just put the shower in the current tub space and the toilet in the current shower space.

You could do a wall between the shower and toilet (would make your shower slightly shorter). Definitely keep 36 space for the toilet.

Glass is not too bad to take care of if you squeegee after every use. Use a pivot door instead of sliding door. My son is putting a shower curtain on his rental, but I am concerned about water escaping a shower stall.

Think long and hard before you get rid of that tub. Why? Needs change. All you need is an injury where a soak in a hot tub would be helpful, for you to regret moving it. Also for re-sale value. Tubs are popular again. Yes, most want a gigantic free-standing one, but sometimes just having a tub can help.

Hi Karenseb, that’s definitely an option and possibly the best ... only consideration is doorway and shower entrance design.

Anglophilia, we have a tub in another bathroom, but personally have always disliked and seldom used one since I was a kid at home. Good possibility if we have an injury won’t be able to climb in and out of a tub. This one is going!
