Moving one fitting can create a new position for several others. In our Sheddocksley, Aberdeen bathroom, relocating the bath beneath the window freed its former position for the toilet and a wall-hung vanity, while retaining a separate shower.
When comparing proposals, label what each move releases as well as where the fitting ends up. A bath relocation might change the available basin wall, the route through the room or the relationship between washing areas. Sketch the old and new paths through the room to identify the patch of floor that becomes useful.
Then check each resulting space in use, rather than treating an empty patch on the drawing as an automatic improvement. This gives a clearer basis for choosing between layouts. The benefit is in the useful arrangement created by the move.
