home>>bathrooms

I was very excited when I asked to get involved in this project. I could really see the potential this bathroom had to completely transform this beautiful house into a stylish upmarket modern home thus adding considerable value to the property.


Gerard and his son Kevin initially contacted me by phone and asked me if I would be interested in refurbishing their bathroom as it needed modernisation. I arranged a meeting with them to find out what they had in mind. I suggested they go for a complete make over as the bathroom was quite dated. After doing up a quotation which was within their budget the work promptly started.

First of all I stripped out the bath, wash hand basin and sink. I then removed the old tiles and flooring leaving me with a blank canvas .I had come up with a design which I thought was quite exciting and immediately started working on achieving the look I was after. I proceeded to work on the tiling going for a black and white theme which is quite striking in its simplicity. Gerard and Kevin also required a new electric shower which will work out more cost effective in the long term as they were relying on heating water from their emersion .I did all the prelim work for the shower at this stage because I was going for the highest possible finish and did not want any pipe work or cables showing.

Next came the new bath, wash hand basin and toilet which I plumbed in after I have the walls and floor tiled to give a beautiful finish to the bathroom. I installed a new designer chrome radiator, which can be used as a towel rack, that becomes a beautiful feature in itself. I set this off with a stainless steel light fitting with four spotlights . Then the new mirror and chrome shower screen completed the look .

As I have said before I really enjoy working on these projects. I don?t think there is abetter feeling than knowing you have transformed a space to something of such a high quality and visually very pleasing. I hope Gerard and Kevin get much pleasure out of their new bathroom and I look forward to working for them on new projects in the future.
