Coventry Bathrooms Create a Perfect Family Bathroom

This is a bathroom that was over fitted, too many items crammed into the space, the wrong size items in some cases leaving the bathroom cold and unfriendly to use.
We suggest a new bathroom design that we eventually fitted for the client.

What we really achieved was taking the badly design bathroom and turning it into a perfect family bathroom that looks amazing and has great function.

How to turn a dated bathroom into a modern shower room

People are beginning to realise that a bath is no more than a 45cm deep shower tray, as the bath is normally used as a place to take a shower, very ralerly if ever filled with water and used as a bath. This is one of the reasons why people are turning their dated bathrooms into modern shower rooms.

This bathroom to shower room conversion was in a house on Watersmeet Grove Coventry.
The bathroom a standard size bathroom for a terrace or semi house in Coventry, measuring 168cm long by 179cm wide and 247cm high. The diagram below shows the original bathroom design as originally fitted when the house was first built.

How to turn a dated bathroom into a modern shower room

Normal family bathrooms have a small floor foot print. It can be difficult to fit a shower tray measuring 100cm by 80cm without taking up valuable floor foot space. One way to make best use of any available space is to use the space between the door frame and the side wall. As shown in the image above, this bathroom has a available width of 100cm. This is an ideal shower tray length. The width of the shower tray is 80cm, this will leave a space between the end of the shower tray and the window wall of 68cm, just enough to fit a vanity basin and cupboard unit. The image below shows exactly this shower room layout.

Images of the modern shower room

The shower room was fitted with a combination of vanity units including toilet unit, 55cm vanity basin and 25cm cupboard unit all in high gloss white finish.

To create a modern stylish and expensive look we have called upon some well-priced and beautifully designed bathroom tiles created by British ceramic tiles. The wall and floor tile are the Astbury grey matching wall and floor tile.

The shower tray is a stone resin shower tray, 100cm long by 80cm wide and is a curved off set quadrant shower. The shower screen is 8mm shower safety glass.

Modern Bathroom fitted Blackhorse Road Longford Coventry

This is a bathroon that we fitted on Blackhorse Road Longford Coventry. The bathroom had previously been renovated by the previous house owner. The bathroom was fitted with two many items that were positioned badly. The basin was too large, the shower tray fitted too high, the bath was a space saving bath. The towel warmer badly positioned under the window and being too small to adequetly heat the room. Someone had spent a lot of money and effort to badly fit a bathroom.

Below is an image of the bathroom before we carried out the renovation.

Bathroom design Blackhorse Road Longford Coventry

Below is the an image of the original bathroom layout. Youc an see that there is ashower tray on the right hand side with a basin in front. The bath is shoe horned on the right hand side, with a toilet positioned in between.

We designed the new bathroom to provide more useable floor space and to allow the ease of use of the bathroom. By moving the towel warmer we were able to fit a taller towel warmer that would provide more heat. The bath is now used as a bath and shower. We did not move the toilet as the soil pipe is hidden within the kitchen extension between the closed ceiling and pitched roof.
