Remove Corner Bath and Fit P Shaped Shower Bath
The clients though the corner bath took too much of the floor space. They came to the conclusion that a corner bath is not ideal to use as a shower bath. For these reasons amongst others they required a bathroom renovation which would include changing the corner bath for a P shaped shower bath.
The bathroom is the standard length of 170cm which is the length of a standard bath. The bathroom is slightly wider than the normal bathroom at 228cm wide. The layout of the bathroom suite is different to the standard fitting with the toilet being located between the basin and the basin. As the bathroom is wider than the standard, the space allows for this layout.

Ensuite Converted from Bathroom to Stylish Walk in Shower
This is a new build house in the Brandon area of Coventry. The clients requested we convert the esnuite from a bathroom with small shower in the corner to a more stylish walk in shower room. They choose a tile combination which is on display at our show room. The tiles chosen are a stone resin floor tile in grey with glitter and matching feature wall panel and the walls a light grey travertine effect ceramic tile.
The shower tray the client requested is a wide 800mm x 1700 mm shower tray. The shower screen is 8mm thick safety glass 1 meter long. The basin is a 800mm wide vanity basin with storage draws in a high gloss dark grey. The toilet is our toilet of choice, a modern easy clean toilet almost back to wall with a soft close seat.

Bathroom converted to a mobility shower room Tile Hill
This bathroom we converted to a mobility shower room in Tile Hill Coventry.
The son first visited our showroom and explained that his father’s health was making the use of the current bathroom difficult and they were looking to change the bathroom to something easier for him to use. A walk in shower area with a fixed seat was the starting point. The son also requested a shower that could be turned on and off remotely and hand rails fitted to assist his father while using the bathroom.
Designing the Shower Room Layout
The next stage was for me to visit the property and measure the bathroom, with this information it was then possible for me to create new shower room floor plans to be presented to the family. Actually we only created one shower room floor plan as the family accepted it straight away. The image below shows the original bathroom floor plan.
The new design would include the bath being removed and a large shower tray 1700mm x 700mm fitted in the same location. The toilet to be replaced and fitted in the same location as the current toilet The shower screen 1000mm long fitted from the hall wall towards the window wall. This created a problem as the basin is located at the window wall and would create a restriction to the access to the shower area. To resolve this problem we suggested moving the basin to the hallway wall. The radiator is to be replaced with a large towel warmer but the basin would now be in this location so the new towel warmer would need to be repositioned to another location in the bathroom. The image below shows the new shower room design that was accepted by the family.
Adding Mobility and Safety to the Shower Room
An important function that the shower room needed was to be safe for the father to use. To ensure that it would not be possible to be scalded in the shower a Triton safe guard shower with remote on and off was chosen. It was decided that a fixed shower seat be fitted to the tiled wall within the shower area. To aid walking in and out of the shower two stainless steel handrails were fitted.

Convert Bathroom to Mobility Walk In Shower Allesley Coventry
The client required that the bathroom be urgently converted to a walk in shower room with a large walk in shower tray. The client had recently undergone surgery which had left them with mobility issues and they found it impossible to get in and out of the bath.
Floor Plan and Shower Mobility Design
The bathroom is of a standard size. The length is 1.7 meters wide which is an ideal length for a walk in shower tray. The width is 2.11 meters which will allow for a shower tray and combined vanity basin and vanity sink with built in storage
