What’s the best free bathroom planner?
It depends what you need the plan for. To draw your own bathroom to scale, try the bath, shower and toilet in different places and give a fitter a measured layout, Free Room Planner does that free in your browser, with no account. If you’ve already chosen a bathroom retailer, its own planner shows its exact products. If you want a much larger furniture catalogue and will keep designing all year, Planner 5D Premium is $19.99 a month or $59.99 a year (as of October 2026).
Start with a room you can change.
Open a furnished example and adjust each wall and item to your room. These are editable plans at the sizes shown.
Compact shower room
2.2 × 2.4 m · example room
A corner shower with separate vanity and toilet positions.
Have your own measurements?
Choose a square, rectangle, L-shaped or T-shaped room and enter its inside dimensions. Or start on a blank grid.
How it works
Three steps from an empty room to a drawing a fitter can price.
Draw the room
Pick a shape and type the inside measurements, or draw each wall. Place the door, window, radiator and the soil stack.
Arrange the fixtures
Drag in a bath, shower tray, toilet, basin or vanity and towel rail. Resize each one to the product you have in mind.
Check it and download
Look at it in 3D, measure the space in front of each fixture, then download the scaled PDF for your fitter.
Free bathroom design tool: what you can design
The layout
Square, rectangular, L-shaped and T-shaped rooms, or any outline you draw. Doors show their swing, so you can see whether it hits the toilet or the basin.
Fixtures at real sizes
Built-in, freestanding, corner and P-shaped baths, shower trays and enclosures, walk-in screens, close-coupled, back-to-wall and wall-hung toilets, pedestal and wall-hung basins, vanities and towel rails. Type in the dimensions of the product you are buying and the item resizes.
A 3D view and a scaled drawing
Switch to 3D to see the room from eye level, then back to 2D to move a fixture. Download a 1:50 PDF with dimensions to send to a fitter.
How to plan a bathroom
Plan a bathroom in the order the plumbing dictates: the fixed points first, then the fixtures, then the checks. It is cheaper to change a drawing than a tiled wall.
Measure the room and find the soil stack
Measure wall to wall, note the door, window and radiator, and mark the soil stack: the toilet needs to stay close to it.
Decide on a bath, a shower or both
A shower over the bath keeps both in a small room. A separate bath and shower needs more floor, so try both versions on the plan before you choose.
Place the toilet near the stack
Fix the toilet position first, then fit the bath or shower and the basin around it. Moving a toilet away from the stack means new waste pipe laid to a fall.
Add the basin, vanity and storage
Choose a basin width that leaves standing space in front of it, then add a vanity, mirror cabinet or tall unit where it does not narrow the route through the room.
Check clearances and the door swing
Check the clear space in front of each fixture and the swing of the room door and any shower door. A sliding or outward-opening door often frees the most floor.
Plan ventilation and electrics, then brief the fitter
Plan the extractor fan and keep electrics to the bathroom zones. Then download your plan and send it to every fitter you ask to quote.

What to send your fitter
A bathroom fitter prices pipe runs, tiling and the fixtures you have chosen. Give them a drawing with:
- The room size and the position of the door, window and soil stack.
- Each fixture, numbered on the plan, with a schedule of sizes on the next sheet.
- A scale bar, so the printout can be checked with a ruler.
Add the product pages or specification sheets for the bath, tray, toilet and basin, and note where the hot, cold and waste pipes run today. Free downloads carry a watermark; the drawing is the same.

Bathroom planner questions
Is the bathroom planner free?
Yes. Drawing the room, arranging fixtures, the 3D view and downloading an image of your plan are free, with no account or card. The free image carries a watermark. Plus, an optional monthly plan, adds the scaled PDF drawing without a watermark, the premium catalogue and cloud saving; you don’t need it to plan.
What can I design with the free bathroom design tool?
The room’s walls, door and window, and every fixture at its real size: baths, showers, toilets, basins, vanities, towel radiators and storage. You can view the layout in 3D and download it as an image; the scaled PDF drawing without a watermark is part of Plus.
Do I need to download anything or create an account?
No. The bathroom design tool runs in your browser on a laptop, desktop or tablet, and you can start without registering.
Can I design my bathroom in feet and inches?
Yes. The planner switches between metres and feet, and this page lists US and UK sizes side by side.
How much space do you need in front of a toilet?
The NKBA recommends 762 mm (30 in) of clear floor in front of a toilet and 457 mm (18 in) from its centreline to a side wall or the next fixture. US code minimums are 533 mm (21 in) and 381 mm (15 in).
What is a standard bath size?
In the UK, 1,700 × 700 mm. In the US, a 60 × 30 in alcove tub (1,524 × 762 mm). Shorter 1,500 and 1,600 mm baths suit small rooms.
How much should I budget for a bathroom remodel?
Costs vary too much by region, room size and specification for one figure to be useful, so build the budget from quotes. Ask two or three fitters to price the same dimensioned plan. Keeping the WC, basin and shower or bath where the pipes already run is usually the biggest saving; moving them adds pipework and labour, and tiling, fittings and electrics are priced separately. Keep a contingency for what you find behind the old tiles.
How do I share my bathroom plan with my fitter?
Download the plan and send it by email or message, so each fitter quotes against the same drawing. The free image shows the layout with a watermark; with Plus you get a scaled PDF without a watermark, with the room size, door and window positions and every fixture numbered.
