Design your bathroom, then see it renovated

Sketch your own room, drag in the tub, shower and toilet, and get honest guidance on clearances, doors and plumbing. Then upload a photo and see your renovated room as an AI impression. No account, no email, everything stays on your device.

Is this bathroom planner free, and what does it check?

Yes. Drawing, checking and pricing your layout costs nothing, and you need no account and no email. You draw the room to scale in centimetres or in feet and inches, put the door, window, drain and water supply where they really are, and drag in the toilet, basin, shower and bath.

While you drag, it checks the space in front of each fixture against comfort guidelines and warns when something stands in the door swing. It prices moving the drain or the water supply in pounds or dollars, for your own distances. It also tells you when the toilet ends up more than about 3 m (10 ft) from the drain, which is where you need extra fall or a macerator pump. With US prices on, a separate check holds the layout against the minimum clearances in the International Residential Code.

Your plan downloads as a PDF, or as a working drawing with every measurement on it. If you want to see the finished room, upload a photo: the AI image follows your layout where the photo allows. The first 4 images each month are free. More images go onto a free account and cost money: 10 for £4.95, or 25 in the Renovation Pack for £19.95.

It draws flat, not in 3D. I kept it that way because a flat plan is the one you can measure from. The clearances are comfort guidelines, not Building Regulations, and the prices cover only the plumbing your layout changes, not the tiles, fittings or the rest of the labour.

2. What is fixed

Drag the drain and water markers to where they really are: all plumbing costs are measured from those two points. Not sure where they are? The drain is usually at the current toilet or shower, water at the basin; tap a marker for an explanation. Place the door, window and load-bearing wall on a wall here.

3. Arrange your layout

Dragging snaps to walls and objects; arrow keys nudge by 1 cm; click a blue measurement to type a distance. Pinch or use the buttons to zoom in, and drag the background to move around.

4. What your layout means

Add items and drag them into place; guidance appears here as you go.

Clearances above are comfort guidelines, not legal rules. Cost ranges are UK national planning ranges (sources checked September 2026); London and the South East run higher. None of the guides behind them says VAT is included, so ask each trade whether it comes on top. Always get local quotes.

5. See it before you build it

Arrange your layout first; then create an AI mood impression with your placement in it.

Your layout is saved only on your own device; a shared link contains the layout itself, nothing else. No account, no email, nothing stored on our servers.

Wondering what fits before you start? What actually fits in a small bathroom. Moving the basin or the toilet? What moving a basin or sink costs.

How the bathroom planner works

A to-scale drawing tool that checks your layout against clearance guidance and prices plumbing moves live while you drag fixtures around.

  1. Choose your room shape (rectangle, L-shape, sloped wall or free form) and set the sizes.
  2. Place the door, window and the existing drain and water connections where they really are.
  3. Drag and rotate your fixtures; add your own objects with their real sizes.
  4. Read the verdict underneath: clearance warnings and the plumbing cost of every move.
What you enter:
Your room sizes, connection points and the layout you want.
What you get:
A to-scale floor plan with clearance checks and layout costs, downloadable as a working drawing; the layout travels into the free AI impression.

Frequently asked questions

How much clearance does a toilet need?

As a comfort guideline about 75 cm (30 in) in front of the bowl; many US codes require at least 21 inches in front and 15 inches from the centerline to a wall. The planner marks tight spots and always tells you it is a guideline; check your local code for the legal minimum.

How much does it cost to move a toilet?

Moving a toilet about 2 metres (6.5 ft) typically runs £930 to £2,040 in the UK (VAT may come on top) or $1,080 to $2,250 as a US planning range; the drain is the expensive part, and moving the water supply too adds $400 to $1,040. The planner calculates it live for your own distance and currency; always get local quotes.

How far can a toilet be from the drain stack?

As a rule of thumb up to about 3 m (10 ft) with normal fall. European practice plans with roughly 1 cm per metre; US codes require about 1/4 inch per foot, which is twice as steep. Beyond that you need to open the floor for extra height, or use a macerator pump. The planner warns automatically when your layout crosses that line.

Can I put a bathtub on a wooden upper floor?

Often yes, but a filled tub easily weighs 300 to 400 kg (660 to 880 lb). Have the load capacity checked on a wooden floor, and check your hot water capacity. The planner adds this reminder automatically when you place a tub.

Is my layout stored anywhere?

Only in your own browser, on your own device. A shared link contains the layout itself, encoded in the link; nothing is stored on my servers, and no account or email is needed.

How accurate is the AI impression?

It is a mood impression, not an architectural rendering: it follows your layout hints where the photo allows, keeps windows and doors in place, and shows finish and atmosphere. Use it to compare styles and directions, not to measure from.

Does the bathroom planner show my room in 3D?

No, it draws a flat plan to scale, because that is the plan you can measure clearances and pipe runs from. To see the finished room, upload a photo of your own bathroom: the AI image keeps the windows and doors where they are and follows your layout where the photo allows.
