Some bathroom jobs require a bit more work than merely swopping a 3 piece suite.

This en suite involved a fair amount of work when compared to a normal installation:
The existing bathroom was a main bathroom but we needed to make it an en suite by blocking the space off from one room and having it accessed by an adjacent bedroom.
This involved knocking a blockwork wall down, that ran across the new en suite & adjacent dressing room) and then rebuilding a stud wall in its place in a slightly different location (to square off the room)
A doorway was knocked through between the en suite and the dressing room.
A new sub floor was laid to ensure the new tile installation would be rock solid – In this case batons were screwed down to the concrete base and then boarded over with 25mm plywood.
Pipes were run and walls were plastered and painted, before the floor was levelled using a self levelling compound to bring it up to the level of the bedroom from which the space was accessed.
Provisions were made for a back to wall toilet with a concealed cistern.
A shower tray was added and the area was Tanked prior to tiling.
The shower enclosure was tiled with marble tiles from Fired Earth
Electric underfloor heating was laid throughout the bathroom & adjacent dressing room.
I personally fit Warmup
The floor was then tiled with marble tiles from Fired Earth
A chrome towel radiator was fitted
The box behind the toilet was prepared for tiling & decoration
A made to order marble top was sat atop some custom made cabinetry and combined with countertop basins and his and hers wall mounted taps.
A custom cut mirror with wall lights was also fitted at this time (not shown)
The shower enclosure was fitted and the shower valve finished off.
