Anyone know if there are regulations against doing this sort of thing or does the bath actually have to be in its own room?
I was thinking about electrics, insulation etc
Anyone know?
Thanks

You can't have any sockets (other than a shaver socket) in a room with a bath or shower. There are also restrictions on positions and types of lights and switches.
you need to check the 17th edition of the electrickery regs. any room with a bath or shower in is split into zones. within these zones there are
different regs. all a bit hard to explain but there is a diagram. cant tell you more water and gas are my thing not nasty electric.
hope this helps rob
Sorry mate, but a bath in the bedroom is a really bad idea.

If your gonna do it id put a stud wall in and make it its own little room. You may find you need extraction aswell.

I can solve this problem easily. As soon as you install and plumb in the bath, your bedroom just became a bathroom!
If you leave the bed in there then it will be a bed in a bathroom. If you've already got a bathroom, then you just got another one!

Slightly OT but a few years ago I had a couple come in to a company I used to work for to try and hire us to design and build a scheme to convert
their (fairly small) master bedroom to incorporate an 'open plan' en-suite bathroom....including a toilet........ we didn't need the
work at the time so we politely refused, mostly because none of us could look at the couple without collapsing into hysterics - but they though it was
a great idea
I thought of having a bath fitted in my bedroom if and its a BIG if i was married to Gemma Atkinson you get the idea BIG bottle of bubble bath etc
House on Grand Designs last night had open plan bathroom / bedroom. Not able to see how it was wired up though.
have stayed in a bed and breakfast that had a shower in the corner of the room, very strange!
