Bathroom Renovations: Recent Finishes
A look at bathrooms we have recently stripped out and rebuilt, from walk-in showers with frameless glass to baths with lit niches and large-format tiles.
About this project
Every bathroom here started the same way: strip back to bare walls and floor, fix what is behind them, then rebuild. The finishes differ because each client chose their own look, but the hidden work is the same standard every time.
What we found
- Old tiles hiding loose plaster and patched pipework
- Floors that needed levelling before large-format tiles could go down
- Showers that needed proper tanking, not just new tiles
From start to finish
What we did
- Full strip-out to bare walls and floor
- New pipework and electrics, then waterproof tanking in wet areas
- Floors levelled and walls boarded flat for large tiles
- Tiling with recessed niches, some with LED strips
- Sanitaryware, glass screens and fittings installed
- Silicone, clean down and handover
The part you never see matters most
Tanking under the tiles is what stops leaks into the ceiling below. Ask any bathroom fitter what waterproofing system they use; if the answer is vague, keep looking.
