Plumber Castleford – Pondering over a whole new bathroom?
Whilst we provide a comprehensive planning service as part of our bathroom installation service, it is really beneficial to have thought about the issue beforehand so that you will be prepared to make the necessary selections once we present the options to you.
Good planning of a brand new bathroom is a vital element of the process, as some sort of mistake in this particular stage can be costly in order to fix further down the line. To aid with this particular process, allow me to share our top five suggestions for planning a bathroom.
Decide on a spending budget, and stick to it
Whilst we accommodate for all spending budgets, it is important to make a firm decision in early stages about how exactly much you are prepared to dedicate to the project. This doesn’t always mean that you should compromise on your plans, since we may be able to source comparable accessories a more affordable prices to achieve the look you need.
It’s also beneficial to keep a portion of the budget to one side, in the event that there are unforeseen problems through the installation that require to be rectified before the bathroom is completed. All of our bathroom fitters keep you up to date throughout the process of any potential difficulties so you’re able to prepare accordingly.
Plan your bathroom lighting
Your bathroom is a place for relaxation, and nothing creates a more stress-free atmosphere than the right lighting style. We are able to install a number of different lighting effects in your bathroom, including coloured lights, obscured fittings and dimmable lights.
It is crucial that the lighting system is decided upon before tiling is started because it is almost certainly not feasible to run additional electrical wiring after the wall surfaces are tiled.
Hot water supply
An important consideration is if your pre-existing domestic hot water system will handle the demands of the brand new bathroom after it is finished. Pumped showers consume a substantial amount of water, and corner baths require more water to fill compared to standard ones.
In case it is determined that the existing domestic hot water system isn’t adequate, you’ll really need to allocate some of your finances to an upgrade, or even think about getting an electric shower installed instead. Electric showers, however, only perform at their best with acceptable mains water pressure and may be expensive to operate.
Pre-existing pipework
The position of current pipework may affect exactly how your bathroom is laid out. Even though it is feasible to box in pipework in order to move the positions of your toilet, sink and bathtub, it isn’t always feasible to completely rearrange the space.
We will be very happy to provide information on where everything is able to be placed, and if there will be any extra cost involved with re-routing of pipework.
Bathtub, shower area or both?
For those who have adequate space, it is usually worthwhile considering a separate bath and shower instead of a shower over the top of the bath. An individual shower cubicle offers far more space in which to stand and reduces the chance of falling – an essential consideration if any of the people making use of the bathroom will be elderly or infirm.
Should the floor type permits, we’re able to install level access showers that don’t have any threshold to step across when entering or exiting the shower. We are able to also install bigger cubicles along with multi-level spray heads for an exhilarating shower experience.
