The period between Christmas and New Year is a strange time.  One celebration is gone, the next is yet to come and the vacuum in between is desultorily filled with visits to and from relatives, playing with presents and long periods of silent contemplation.

It is in times such as these that you glance around and notice your home as for the first time.  It is in times such as these that you decide a new bathroom might be in order.  Perhaps it is the dingy winter light, perhaps the fact that over the Christmas period countless visitors have left their mark on the smallest of rooms; whatever the reason, the bathroom that you were once proud of is looking in need of a little tender care.  That’s when you call in the experts.

When planning a new bathroom, the first stage is to decide what you actually want to do with the space.  Just because the room currently holds a bath, toilet and basin doesn’t mean that replacements have to be on a like for like basis.  So, if you only ever use the shower over the bath, why get a new bath.  Think about a walk in shower or a large corner shower instead.  If the one small sink causes a log jam of teeth cleaners in the morning think about installing a double sink or even adding small washbasins to the bedrooms.

The one caveat to not replacing like with like is the need to match appliances to the plumbing.  Some changes are easy to make, others may require radical changes to the plumbing layout which just may not be cost effective.  Your bathroom fitting London installer will be able to give you advice on what is and is not feasible.

Finally, this is your chance to have the bathroom of your dreams.  Take advice on lighting and heating, on tiling and on flooring.  If the room is cold and damp then think seriously about insulation, about ventilation and about installing a false ceiling to reduce the room size.  Along with the false ceiling how about installing star lights or concealed spots?  This could allow you to have strong lighting when needed for make up and shaving but softer lights when soaking in a relaxing bath.

Above all remember that this is your chance to let your imagination soar.  You might finish up with a like for like replacement but along the way have a think about underfloor heating, conversion into a wet room or a tiled paradise with jungle plants cascading from the ceiling.  To help you with this choose a bathroom installer such as Building Company London who can help with your entire project from start to finish.  Building Company London has designers and architects, bathroom fitting London professionals, plumbers, electricians and tilers on hand to help you with your bathroom project.

So, when you are desperately trying to find anything to do rather than watch repeats on the TV, have a think about your bathroom.  A New Year is on the way and what better way to celebrate than with the plans for a new bathroom.
