I cannot recommend Coventry bathrooms enough

I cannot recommend Coventry bathrooms enough.

James & Richard have done an amazing job in transforming a dated bathroom into something that looks like a bathroom in a hotel. They were never pushy in selling things I didn’t need or want.

They came round, measured up & gave me a price – no pushy salesmen. The job was completed to perfection & I they come highly recommended.

Convert a Bathroom to Shower room and use all of the floor space

When converting a bathroom to a shower room, it is easy to design the layout with the shower sitting in the same location as the bath, running between the hall wall and exterior wall. However if you are lucky enough to have a bathroom with a space between the side wall and the edge of the door of 1400mm, it is possible to place the shower running along this wall.

The image below shows the original floor plan which includes a bath, basin and wc.

The image below shows the new shower room design and floor plan. Repositioning the shower between the side wall and the door frees up an area in the bathroom. This area can be filled by the basin which can now be fitted against a wall. This simple move of the basin will allow for a mirror to be fitted above the basin, something that was not possible before as the basin was fitted under the bathroom window.

Photos of the Shower Room

Below are photos of the finished bathroom. The photos show

1200mm x 800mm quadrant shower tray
8mm thick quadrant shower enclosure
High gloss white vanity basin with modern basin tap
Modern easy clean wc with soft close seat
1200mm x 600 towel warmer
Stone effect wall and matching floor tiles

Ensuite Refitted at a House on The Morrisons Estate Coventry

The ensuite has a shower that was created using a studded wall for one side and an alcove shower screen. The client requested a larger shower, storage and a towel warmer.

To make the shower area larger, we had to remove the end studded wall. The original shower area was 760mm x 760mm, we extended this to a shower area of 800mm x 1200mm. A shower enclosure of two glass sides and a sliding door finished the shower.

This is the image of the choosen shower floor plan which includes removing the studded wall, fitting a larger sink and moving the wc slighty to the right to make room for the vanity basin. THe Radiator was moved from the window wall and fitted on a full wall to allow a 1200mm tall towel warmer.

As with most of our work, all walls and the floor where completely tiled. We also plastered the ceiling and 5 LED downlights where fitted to the ceiling.

The storage was easily provided by fitting a large vanity basin.

Moved the Toilet to make room to fit the shower

Originally this was a bathroom; the client required that we convert it to a shower room. The window was an obstacle that made it impossible to fit the shower in the only free area. To resolve it, we moved the toilet to the position under the window and then fitted the shower in the toilets original position.
The exterior wall of the property had to be cored out to allow for the waste from the toilet to be connected to the soil pipe.

This video shows the bathroom before and on completion of the shower refit and the floor plan.

Core the Bathroom wall to move the toilet

Under normal circumstances we strongly suggest when fitting a bathroom to leave the toilet in the same position. Moving the toilet will require changes to the soil waste pipe. In a new build house the soil stack is normally hidden within the building, while an older house, the soil stack is normally on the outside back of the building.

Moving a toilet in an older house

Normally the toilet is against the back wall of the house. The soil pipe comes straight through the wall connecting the toilet waste outlet to the soil stack. To move the toilet requires that a new 4inch hole is cored out of the bathroom exterior wall. A new section of waste pipe pushed through the all and the connection to the soil stack either extend or reduce the waste.

The challenges of moving a toilet

Coring out the 4 inch hole will take 2 – 3 hours of noisy dusty work.
The exterior of the house will have a hole left over from where the old soil waste pipe was removed.
Normally this is filled in with render. Leaving a scare to the exterior of the brick work (Not Ideal)
If the waste pipe is cast iron or asbestos, the complete soil stack will need to be replaced prior to the other work taking place.
If the soil stack is asbestos the correct trained trades’ people will need to be commissioned to change the soil stack.

Bathroom to Shower room Conversion

The client requested that we change the bathroom to a shower room. Because of the width of the bathroom and the position of the window, there was only one corner wall that would be large enough to fit a rectangle shower; this was the corner where the toilet was located.

This forced the moving of the toilet. This is the original bathroom design and floor plan which shows the position of each bathroom item and the waste and soil stack.
