Bathroom Renovation

Project Value
£28,000
The Challenge
The existing bathroom had a timber suspended floor that was inadequate for a wet room — conventional wet room construction requires a tanked and graded solid floor. The existing waste pipe was incorrectly graded, causing slow drainage throughout the property. The bathroom window was a fixed non-opening sash that left the room poorly ventilated and prone to condensation.
Our Solution
The timber floor was replaced with a reinforced concrete screed to the correct wet room falls, properly tanked with a Wedi shower tray former set into the screed. The waste pipes were re-run with correct falls throughout. The fixed sash was replaced with an opening sash in matching timber profile. An extractor fan with humidity sensor was installed within the window reveal.
