Bathroom renovation at Adare Drive Coventry

This bathroom is on a high floor of an apartment block on Adare Drive in Coventry.

Bathroom renovation in apartments bring unique challenges, such as communal soil drainage systems, water meters and stop cocks in service areas. Floors and ceilings are normally solid concrete making it difficult to impossible to hide as many pipes within these areas.

The challenge in this bathroom is to tile all areas and making it easy to access the stop cock and water meter. The obvious solution is an access panel, which we added to the fittings. To make it easy to access and disconnect the water we also fitted a Sure stop stop cock with remote water open / water close button.

The image below shows the original bathroom layout as fitted when the apartment was first built.

The client requested vanity storage within he bathroom. The standard size vanity furniture at 60cm wide was too wide for the space available so we suggested using a 50cm space saving vanity unit.
