Bathrooms Wakefield – Pondering over a completely new bathroom?
While we have a full planning service as a part of our bathroom installation service, it is actually helpful to have thought about the issue ahead of time so that you will be able to make the required selections when we present your choices to you.
Proper planning of your brand new bathroom is an essential portion of the process, as some sort of mistake in this particular stage can be costly to correct further down the road. To aid with this process, here are our top 5 tricks for planning a bathroom.
Decide on a budget, and adhere to it
While we accommodate for just about all spending budgets, it is essential to make a firm decision in the beginning about how exactly much you are prepared to dedicate to your project. This doesn’t always suggest that you’ll need to compromise on your plans, since we might be able to source comparable fixtures and fittings a cheaper prices to achieve the look you need.
It’s also useful to hold a portion of the funds to one side, just in case there are unforeseen issues through the installation that need to be fixed before the bathroom can be completed. Our bathroom fitters will keep you up to date through the entire process of every potential troubles so you’re able to plan accordingly.
Plan your bathroom lighting
Your bathroom is a crucial place for relaxation, and nothing makes for a more calming atmosphere than the appropriate lighting style. We can fit various diverse lighting in your bathroom, including coloured lights, concealed fittings and dimmable lights.
It is important that the lighting scheme is decided on before tiling commences as it may not be possible to run additional electrical wiring after the wall surfaces are already tiled.
Hot water supply
An essential concern is whether or not your existing domestic hot water system will handle the requirements of the brand new bathroom once it’s finished. Pumped showers consume a lot of water, and also corner baths need more water to fill as compared to standard ones.
Should it be decided that the present domestic hot water system isn’t good enough, you’ll have to set aside some of your budget for an update, or even consider having an electric shower put in as an alternative. Electric showers, however, only perform at their full capacity with adequate mains water pressure and may be costly to run.
Pre-existing pipework
The placement of current pipework could affect the way your bathroom will be laid out. Though it may be possible to box in pipework to move the positions of your toilet, sink and bathtub, this isn’t always possible to completely rearrange the space.
We are happy to offer suggestions about where everything is able to be placed, and if you might have any additional expense involved with re-routing of pipework.
Bath, shower area or both?
In case you have enough room, it may be worth considering a separate bath and shower instead of a shower over the top of the bathtub. An individual shower cubicle gives you additional space in which to stand and also cuts down on the risk of falling – a vital factor if one of the people making use of the bathroom are elderly or infirm.
Should the floor type will allow, we could put in level access showers which do not have any threshold to step over when getting into or leaving the shower. We can also put in larger cubicles with multi-level spray heads for an exciting shower experience.
