This bathroom refurbishment in Barry replaced a dated room with adjusted plumbing, large-format wall tiles, floor tiling and a new bathroom suite.
Stripping Back to Start Properly
The existing bathroom needed a full rip-out rather than a series of surface-level updates.
Removing the old suite and coverings created the right starting point for the new installation. Keeping the work within one bathroom refurbishment allowed the plumbing, waterproofing, tiling and fitting stages to follow a coordinated sequence.
Getting the Foundations Right
Before the new fittings could be installed, the room needed suitable preparation for the proposed suite, shower and tiled surfaces.
Plumbing adjustments were required, while the walls and floor needed preparation before tiling began. Where bathroom changes fall within controlled building work, whether building regulations approval applies should be checked before the affected work starts.
Rebuilding the Room in Sequence
Once the old bathroom had been removed, the plumbing adjustments and waterproofing preparation were carried out.
Large-format wall tiles and new floor tiles formed part of the wider tiling work. A new bathroom suite, thermostatic shower and heated towel radiator were then installed, followed by sealing around the relevant wet areas and sanitary fittings.
Coordinating the stages kept the preparation, plumbing, tiling and installation working in the right order.
A Renewed Bathroom Working
The bathroom now has updated plumbing, new tiled surfaces, a complete suite, thermostatic shower and heated towel radiator.
The refurbishment was completed in 10 working days, with the different trades coordinated as one project. Other completed renovation projects demonstrate how connected improvements can be managed across different areas of the home.
