It's a rather basic question but I can't find straightforward answers
anywhere.

We're [re]designing an area in our house and want to install a new
shower (among other things). In order to plan the layout we need to
know how much space a shower needs. It might be a dedicated shower
room or, if it fits, we might squeeze it into the existing downstairs
loo.

So any advice, pointers, etc. as to minimum and/or sensible sizes for
a shower would be very welcome.


Our current shower tray is 750mm * 750mm.
Elbow room is a little less as the shower screen is inboard of the edge.
I wouldn't like to go any smaller than that unless the whole family is built
on budget lines.
I am 6 foot tall and can manage in this, but I haven't tried to bend over in
the shower (not that I could anyway).
AFAIK this is a standard small shower cubicle.
If you want to go for a full wet room then you have more flexibility as long
as you can cover up the loo (And especially the toilet paper) when you are
showering.
For a small shower there are benefits in having the shower head over the
middle of the area pointing down instead of taking up wall space.
