Bathroom Suites - Planning And The Costs Involved

With the huge price increase in the property market in the UK, over the last 10 years the bathroom has become one of the most updated rooms in British households. By adding a bathroom suite, bathroom furniture or just simply some accessories such as a mirror you can easily change the whole look and style of your bathroom. Your bathroom can be transformed in to the luxury retreat of your dreams, for a lot less than you might imagine!

But why?

In our newly evolving high-pressure world that we all live in today, it is important to relax and unwind. The bathroom is the perfect place to do so in the comfort of your own home. You could have a long soak surrounded by candles to soothe away the hassles of your daily grinds or have a refreshing power shower to recharge and revitalise the body and mind. One of the most cost effective ways of turning your existing shower into a power shower it to install a shower pump, please note that your existing shower(s) must be compatible and you should always consult a qualified plumber for advice before buying any shower pumps.

The possibilities are endless and with the huge selection of bathroom products on the market today you are sure to find something you'll love.

Bathroom planning and the costs:

Estimate how much you realistically can afford to spend on your complete project. There is no point in getting half way through the bathroom of your dreams, before having to stop until finances allow you to carry on.

Some bathroom shops have deals in place with finance companies and offer their customers the opportunity to spread their payments with 0% finance over 6 months or more, but please make sure that you can afford these repayments, as after this period you can expect to pay back at a higher rate of interest to the finance companies.

Pencil and paper:

It is most important in the initial stages of planning your new bathroom that time is taken to get your project right from the start, any mistakes at the point could turn out to be costly further down the line.

Using graph paper draw a floor plan to scale, on a new piece of graph paper draw to scale different styles of baths, toilets, sinks, shower cubicles and other bathroom products that you would like in your new bathroom, cut them out and place them onto your floor plan. Using this method to plan your bathroom is quick, easy and effective. If you would like to plan your bathroom in more detail there are many bathroom planners online that you can use for free.

Please bare in mind that there could be limitations on where your bath, shower, sink or toilet can be situated due to the location of wastes and soil stacks, these points need to be checked and carefully planned out in the initial stages. If soil stacks or wastes do need to be relocated, please check with a qualified plumber first, before you order your new bathroom suite as jobs like this can be time consuming and expensive.
