Totally off topic – Fitting a bath in a bedroom
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

cool
I have a useless space in a long bedroom that I'd rather fit a bath than another wardrobe. I'll see if I can find their site

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. 
You'll wake up in the morning with a crick in your neck, or even worse, hypothermia.

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.

You can in certain zones, and I think they'd have to be RCD protected (i.e. replace the MCB with an RCBO). Why on earth anyone would want a
bath in their bedroom is another issue altogether

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
