  • 1.8 x 1.6m Bathroom in midterrace house

    I do have a 1.8 x 1.6m shower room without a toilet and I am planning to add one. Will it be possible to fit in and also the soil pipe/vent is at the back of the house and the shower room is in front. This is a midterrace house. If possible, how much will it be? Just a rough estimate. Thanks
