Many older houses across the UK were built without inside toilets or bathrooms. The Corbett family have moved into such a house in Manchester. Rather than embracing chilly trips across the yard and the dubious joys of a tin bath, Mr and Mrs Corbett have decided to convert one of their bedrooms into a modern indoor bathroom.
Eric Thompson chats to the Corbetts, about what their ideal bathroom would look like, and what sort of budget they have. To help them, interior deigners David Hicks and Alan Tye have have come up with some modern arrangements to meet both their needs and their budget, while Don Kidman has drawn up some plans.
What do Mr and Mrs Corbett make of the designs?
