Wet rooms are not the cheapest solution
Also;
Live South East London.
Happy to be disproved by loads of anecdotes to the contrary, but in my limited experience wet rooms in the UK don't work well. Wet rooms in old housing stock work even less well.
There usually just isn't enough space, and then you throw in low ambient heat and high moisture levels - and that is before you turn a hot tap on. Plus you've got the white splashes of limescale residue covering everything. And if you have a job which requires a start time, then you've got to factor in 5-10min cleaning up in the morning, plus working out a neat way to store your massive flat mop.
You can obviously mitigate this to some extent with quality underfloor heating permanently cranked up to max under the correct flooring, combined with a powerful extractor fan. A water softener and getting a cleaner/upping their hours will deal with the limescale. An additional bathroom also helps to reduce use.
Not trying to be overly negative. But imo it's the wrong choice for that space.

do you really need the bath? it may feel a bit cramped with it all in, and i cant really see being in a 1.3m bath being particularly relaxing personally. You'd have to think about what would happen with the waste from the toilet too.
Wet rooms are not the cheapest solution as i have recently found out. drainage, membranes etc all add up quickly over the cost of a standard shower tray layout
