Is there a tub elsewhere? What floor is the master bedroom on? If it's upstairs, I'd figure out how to make a tub/shower combo because no one is going to want to go downstairs to shower, then back upstairs to dress, etc. If there is a tub elsewhere, then I'd just figure out how to squeeze just a shower in there.

There will be a walk in shower downstairs on main floor. Impossible to do shower here due to low ceilings. Hence why I want to squeeze in a tub only.

Master bedroom will be on first floor due to this small bathroom upstairs. Bathroom on main floor much bigger. Even tho bedroom on main floor is smaller than upstairs bedroom. Bad original design of home-cape cod- and not in budget to do an addition. Trying to make the most of upstairs bathroom!

Tub shower could fit along that back wall if vanity area is shortened up towards entrance and toilet moved to right wall after vanity. But without measurements and exterior material for shortening up the window and budget? Can plumbing for toilet be moved across?

The vanity area on right will be removed. The toilet needs to stay on left but will be moved to allow for tub. Planned to keep sink on left as well for ease of plumbing. This bath just out from house so will be difficult to move plumbing to right side with roof angles.

Can be a cute small bathroom there, please measure all walls as Jan asked. Use graph paper, 1 square = each foot of space in legible and post. You’ll get more help here with that. Could use a handheld shower fixture with the tub?

Is the tub area ceiling high enough in the middle for a rain shower head?

Yes I will measure next time. I already measured the room and plumber confirmed this will fit. Just forgot to measure ceiling height. But he did mention handheld. The window is definitely staying in same place btw

Ceiling is very low and rain head would be too close for comfort. Only option for show would be handheld attached on the angle. Leaning towards just a tub! MAINLY I'm concerned about a mirror over sink since wall is angled and can't really hang one there. Not to mention the wall sconces will be down lower as well. Need aesthetic advice since I'm reselling the house.

I believe the window would be a code issue at sale point with tub there. Most likely that is why this was mentioned.

Hmm I wonder why that would be an issue as people have low windows next to free standing tubs and in tub/shower combos all the time. I'll need to investigate this further. No way to move window higher and the bathroom really needs natural light.

Ok I see. How much room is above your sink before the angle?

That is what I forgot to measure, however it's not much at all. You can see in the picture of the angle starts down pretty low.

I need to measure. Maybe just a smaller mirror and of course it will be hung lower. And find out about window/tub situation! Thanks!

You can glaze that window which should get you in the good graces of an inspector. I had the same issue, but yes check that out. Looks like a mirror could fit above sink. Light/sconces not sure?

Looks like you may have room for sconces but they’ll be extra electrical into the tile with two light additions on both sides of mirror or you could save a bit of $$$ and have the electrician add a single pendant above the sink from the ceiling. Making sure you choose a pendant with what I found here. Didn’t know what to call it so I had to google :).

Thanks Alice. I thought of a pendant but unfortunately it's not possible. The ceiling/slope is that low! 😫

Your sconces just might mount above the tile?

What is the size of the upstairs bedroom and the size of the lower?

There's a reason it has the little vanity area.: )

You're jamming a "bath" into a dormer of sorts, a second story powder room, where the only way someone over the age of six can see their face in a mirror is to be seated.

Show a floor plan with the entire second floor, every room and all the dimensions for every room.

In fact, show both floors that way.

You're worried about aesthetics for a flip - and we can't see the whole story.

This looks like a 5 x 8 "bath" with 4' of wainscoting until a non head bang ceiling shall present itself on both sides. Nobody but a child wants to use it: )

Hence the price of the house, to entertain the "flip"?

Agree that a measured layout is needed, i think it will take quite a bit of of money & engineering to make this work, which is tough for a flip. Is there any headroom above you can steal?

Who is going to use a tub up here? Only children for the first few years of life. But is this really a family home or is it a home for a couple who has a primary upstairs with a toilet for peeing in the middle of the night and a full bath downstairs along with a downstairs bedroom that is used as a dressing room?

This is why it is helpful to see the whole house, to get a sense of how realistic this home is for a family or whether this is just a space for a couple.

If you can’t add a shower I would just spruce up the half bath. A vanity with storage would be a good idea.

optional layout?

mirror concept

If you can't fit a full-sized tub in the space under the window, along the short wall, you probably need a shower. Most adults like to shower and they don't want to go downstairs every morning to do it.

House built in 1890. Bathrooms mostly added long after the original house was built. We affixed a frameless miror to the angled wall above the sink and hung a standard mirror on the non angled wall.

Your powder room was likely added in order to have a bedroom level toilet. Many antique Cape Cod homes have the bathroom on the first floor. We have found that corner showers fit almost anywhere.
