Bathroom with Shower Bath and Space Saving Basin with Storage

Bathroom with Shower Bath and Space Saving Basin with Storage.

A bathroom that we refitted as a bathroom with a shower bath, finished with stylish wall and floor tiles. To combat the small space available fitted a 90cm space saving vanity unit comprising of a toilet and basin with cupboard storage.

The bathroom tiles were made up of two different tiles, the floor tile is a British Ceramic Tile, Beige Dorchester tile. The floor tile is a marble effect ceramic tile Santorini Blanco floor tile adding an elegant and contemporary feel.

The bathroom was fitted with

90cm space saving combined vanity basin and toilet unit
P shaped Shower bath 167cm long
6mm Safety Glass curved shower screen
Matching bath and basin taps in a modern style
120cm by 60cm chrome bathroom radiator (towel warmer)

From start to finish the bathroom took seven days to complete. This was broken down in to the following stages.

Day 1 – Skip arrives original bathroom suite and tiles removed
Day 2 – Reboard or bond the bathroom walls making them flat ready for tiling, prepare some of the plumbing and pipe work

Below are images of the completed bathroom

The vanity unit is 90cm wide, the sink is smaller than a standard bathroom basin, though this room did not have the space for a full basin and a compromise was needed. The basin is larger than a cloakroom basin.

The wall tile is a British Ceramic Tile Dorchester Beige tile and the floor is a ceramic marble effect tile. A chrome towel warmer is fitted with the flow and returns pipes being in chrome.

The home is fitted with a high pressure heating system which feeds both the hot water system and the heating system. It was possible to fit a wall mounted chrome thermostatic shower that runs directly from the heating system. The shower has a twin head, the first fixed rain effect shower head and the other is a hand held remote shower head.
