How to install laundry cupboard with tub?

I live in an old cottage. The laundry was removed but left sink  & washing machine taps. I have a space of 1.10mtr from wall but the taps are .400 from wall where the tub will sit. Can you help with the layout & diy cupboard to use.

Re: install laundry cupboard with tub

Hello @couttsonthemove 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your laundry tub.

 

Looking at your plumbing set-up it appears that even the tapware was removed. On the condition that the outlets are still functional it might be possible to line up the appliances properly along with your laundry tub. Will you be placing the laundry tub on the left or right? It also appears that you have a larger wall to use, is it possible to use all that space or do you have other plans laid out for that section?

 

If the space can be used, can you please provide us with its measurements? We can then do a quick layout for you of what can be achieved with the space available.

 

While we are waiting for your measurements, I suggest having a quick look at this guide - How to plan a laundry renovation by @Adam_W.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi Eric

The cabinet could be 1.100 and would fit in under taps with drainage underneath. The tub would sit under tap .400 from the wall. The washing machine to the right under existing fittings. 

So tub would be under taps with bench top either side.

Hello @couttsonthemove 

 

The closest cabinet to the size you are after is 900mm, it will still work as the laundry tub can be moved all the way to the right where the existing tapware is. The top loading washing machine would be better located in the center so that the pipework is close by.   

 

The cabinets are:

 

  • 900 base cabinet
     
  • 800 base cabinet
     
  • 800 wall cabinet (X2)
     
  • 600 wall cabinet.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
