Bathroom Revamp, Naas

As with a lot of main bathrooms in a typical 3 bed semi-detached house, the size is quite small. If there is a bath in the room, it seems quite crowded. Here, the bath was removed. A 1200x800 shower was fitted instead. A small section was taken from the room behind (with little impact on that room) to allow for the larger shower. The sink fits in neatly between the towel rail and shower panel. On the opposite side of the room, there is now only a toilet. The room seems infinitely bigger with a clear space to walk inside the door as opposed to immediately having to avoid bathroom ware. This particular bathroom was being done along with other work in the house which required plastering so it was possible to impact on the room beside with little extra cost. A typical bathroom revamp wouldn't involve a plasterer.

Other points to note in this job to give you ideas for your revamp:

• White and Chrome uPVC panelling on ceiling to cut down on ceiling mould


• External walls insulated with 50mm overall insulated plasterboard


• Border for tiles ran vertically instead of horizontally to show off nice shower towel rail etc.
