    New Bathroom

    Posted 26 January

    I had the pleasure of working with Doug & Sean, who are truly exceptional builders. Throughout my bathroom project, Doug's professionalism, communication, and dedication were outstanding. Unlike previous experiences with unreliable tradesmen, I was lucky to find them. Doug's quote was realistic. He supported me throughout the project. The impeccable work ethic, punctuality, and courtesy displayed by Doug & Sean are commendable. They completed project on time as promised. I highly recommend Doug & Sean to anyone seeking genuine and skilled tradesmen. Give Doug a call, you will be amazed.

Hi, my name is Doug, and I have been refitting and building new bathrooms in the UK and Ireland for over 16 years. I have a very good understanding of the many varying aspects of bathroom design and fit, based on each individual space.




Bathroom design and installation is a crucial aspect of any home renovation project. The bathroom is a space that is used multiple times a day and plays a significant role in our everyday routines. Therefore, it is essential to have a well-designed and functional bathroom that meets our needs and reflects our personal style. When it comes to designing a bathroom, there are several factors to consider, such as the layout, fixtures, and materials.




The first step in bathroom design is to determine the layout of the space. This includes deciding on the placement of the toilet, sink, shower/bathtub, and any additional features such as storage cabinets or a vanity. The layout should be practical and efficient, allowing for easy movement and accessibility. It is also important to consider the plumbing and electrical systems based on the existing build, and we are happy to advise in this regard.




Next, the fixtures and materials for the bathroom need to be chosen. The fixtures should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also durable and easy to maintain. For example, opting for a dual-flush toilet can save water and money in the long run. When it comes to materials, it is crucial to choose ones that are suitable for a bathroom environment, such as moisture-resistant flooring and walls. The materials should also complement each other and create a cohesive look. We specialise in wetrooms, but we are happy to use a plastered and painted style if adequate ventilation is possible.




In addition to the layout and fixtures, lighting is another essential aspect of bathroom design. Adequate lighting is crucial for tasks such as applying makeup or shaving, but it can also create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. A combination of LED lighting, spot lighting, and accent lighting can help achieve the desired effect. It is also important to consider natural light sources, such as windows or skylights, to bring in natural light and add to the overall ambiance of the space. We also supply and fit window upgrades.




Once the design has been finalized, the installation process can begin. We use professional plumbers and electricians to ensure that all the fixtures and systems are installed correctly and in accordance with full UK code. The installation process will of course, also involve other contractors, such as tilers or carpenters, depending on the design and materials chosen. Most work is undertaken by myself at present.




In conclusion, bathroom design and installation is a complex and crucial aspect of any home renovation project. It requires careful planning, attention to detail, and the expertise of professionals to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing space. A well-designed and installed bathroom not only adds value to a home but also enhances the daily lives of its occupants.




All of our bathrooms include a 10 year guarantee.




Hope to create your new bathroom soon,




Doug Backman
