Bathroom Renovation Guide
Introduction to Bathroom Renovation
Whether you’re planning a bathroom renovation, or even just looking for bathroom renovation design ideas, we can help. This guide provides all of the bathroom inspiration you’ll need, walking you through the four stages of renovation from initial planning to buying your dream bathroom.
Adjusting or adapting a tired bathroom in need of an update to better suit your needs, change the style or match your taste can be a daunting prospect. We’ve broken the process into digestible stages, and added helpful hints and expert tips along the way.
Bathroom Renovation: Refreshing Your Tired Bathroom
Your first, and completely understandable, question may well be ‘what is the cost of a full bathroom renovation?’ Before stepping into those murky waters, it’s worth deciding what you want to do with the space you have.
A bathroom renovation can be a daunting task, but with a clear vision and a well-planned approach, it can also be a highly rewarding experience. Whether you’re looking to update your existing bathroom or create a brand new one, there are several factors to consider. First and foremost, think about the bathroom renovation cost and how it fits into your budget.
Next, consider the layout and how you can maximize natural light and storage space to create functional spaces that meet your needs. Flooring and tiling choices, as well as the selection of fixtures and fittings, will also play a crucial role in the overall cost and aesthetic of your bathroom. By paying attention to these details and planning carefully, you can create a beautiful and functional bathroom that enhances the value of your home.
Inspiration for Bathroom Remodel Ideas
This is why looking for inspiration for bathroom renovations is so vital, as it can restore your confidence if your budget is slightly limited or give you some winning ideas if you’re feeling stuck. We have a huge selection of real home examples for you to look through, showing how our customers have renovated their own spaces to create their dream bathroom.
Planning your Renovation
Once you have your aesthetic desires established, it’s time to address the practicalities. Planning your bathroom remodelling, and more importantly working out the potential cost, needn’t be onerous or lengthy thanks to our helpful cost calculator. If you have an idea of the space you’re working with, and what alterations you want to make to it, you can progress to a quote. Planning involves far more than just working out your bathroom renovation cost, though. You’ll need to consider how much you want to change, the potential upheaval and the tradesmen you’ll need to complete the project.
Start planningHints and tips
- Start with the placement of pipework, windows and doors when doing your design, as moving them can be costly at best or impossible at worst.
- Make sure you have a 10-15% budget buffer for any unexpected issues. This can include structural problems that need addressing, or plumbing challenges.
- Focus on ventilation and light to elevate the room to an inviting space and provide practical benefits such as making a bathroom appear larger.
Designing your bathroom renovation
Cost, naturally, affects design. With a clear idea of the space you’re working with, and the style you’d like to adopt, the design stage merges the two while contending with the practicalities of light, plumbing, and any other restrictions of the building. When considering flooring and tiling options, tiles are a popular choice due to their durability and aesthetic appeal.
If you’re daunted by the prospect, or would like some expert assistance, you can book a design appointment through one of our stockists. They can help you select the perfect vanity unit to enhance the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. Additionally, they can guide you through the options for shower enclosures, including the installation of a shower stall, to ensure a cost-effective and stylish renovation.
Shopping for Bathroom Renovations
Armed with all of this vital information, it’s time to venture into a showroom and select your furniture, ceramics and WC. We have an array of choices to suit bathrooms large and small, from conventional square and rectangular shapes through to more irregular spaces. For those looking to renovate, bathroom suites offer a complete package that includes essential elements like a toilet, basin, and bath or/and shower, providing cost-saving benefits.
If you have a small bathroom, consider a small vanity to maximize space and meet specific plumbing requirements. Additionally, a glass shower enclosure can enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of your bathroom, making the space appear larger by opening up a normally enclosed area.

I have always loved herringbone, brushed brass and neutrals so this was my inspiration for our ensuite renovation. I had seen posts from Roper Rhodes on Instagram and they stood out straight away with their unique fitted furniture storage cabinets complete with WC and sink. There was no doubt in my mind that this was the company I wanted to go for.
