Bathrooms

Even if you are remodelling an existing bathroom and are restricted to the physical size of the room, you may be able to work wonders. If you are replacing the bathroom suite, you do not need to install the new suite in the same position as the original. You do not even need to use the same room and you can always add or remove walls, doors and windows. You can design the grand bathroom you dream about – but its actual installation will depend upon how much money and inconvenience you are willing to tolerate.

There are four stages to planning a bathroom:

• Measuring up and noting the position of the existing services, windows and doors.
• Working out the plan to get the bathroom fixtures where you want them.
• Deciding upon any structural work which needs to be carried out – new or moving walls, doors or windows.
• Deciding on any changes to the services (electricity, water, drains) you need.
