Hello
Since we only have one bathroom, it often gets crowded!
We have a guest toilet without a shower or bathtub.
Would it even be possible to install a shower or bathtub in front of the wall? There is underfloor heating, which might make drilling downwards difficult! I am open to all suggestions. It’s always better to have heard different opinions in advance.

Thank you and best regards

If the pipes run from the basement, then none of this should be a problem. Only the shower tray should have the drain located on the exterior wall.

I just can’t imagine yet how you plan to turn the cloakroom into a bathroom. I have no idea what the cloakroom looks like.

Exterior wall? Why? What the room looks like doesn't matter. Space is what counts. You can make everything look nice later. I will now have two plumbers come to clarify the technical details as well as the costs and effort.

Because, in my opinion, there are fewer conflicts with the underfloor heating there, and the other pipes from the toilet are also located in that area. Everything can be done; you just need to describe more precisely what you actually want. The wardrobe in your plan doesn’t even have a door.

The pipes from the toilet are located in the separate room. Without underfloor heating, I wouldn’t even be asking this question in the forum. Then it wouldn’t be a problem at all. I was hoping that someone might have already retrofitted something similar regarding “extending” the pipes or creating a drain connection. Now my trusted plumber is coming to take a look and give his opinion.
