So, what happens during a bathroom installation?
Planning and Design
The first step in any bathroom installation is planning and design. This involves deciding on the layout, selecting fixtures, and choosing materials. It’s essential to think about functionality and aesthetics. Consider the size of your bathroom, the placement of plumbing, and the style you want to achieve. Consulting with a professional designer can help ensure your vision is both practical and achievable.
Stripping Out the Old Bathroom
Once the design is finalised, the next step is to strip out the old bathroom. This involves removing all existing fixtures, tiles, and fittings. It’s a messy job, but it’s necessary to create a clean slate for the new installation. The team will also check for any structural issues, such as dampness or rot, and address these before proceeding. This stage can take a few days, depending on the size and condition of the existing bathroom.
Plumbing and Electrical Work
With the old bathroom stripped out, the next phase is plumbing and electrical work. This involves installing new pipes, relocating plumbing if necessary, and ensuring all electrical wiring is up to standard. If you’re installing a new shower, bath, or additional features like underfloor heating, this is the time to get the infrastructure in place. Professional plumbers and electricians will handle this to ensure everything is safe and compliant with regulations.
Installing the Fixtures
Once the plumbing and electrical work is complete, it’s time to install the fixtures. This includes fitting the bath, shower, toilet, and basin. The installation team will ensure everything is securely fixed and properly connected. At this stage, any additional features like heated towel rails, mirrors, and cabinets are also installed.
Tiling and Flooring
After the fixtures are installed, the next step is tiling and flooring. This involves laying the tiles on the walls and floor, grouting, and sealing them. Choosing the right tiles can significantly impact the look and feel of your bathroom. The installation team will ensure the tiles are evenly spaced and securely fixed, providing a polished and professional finish.
Finishing Touches
The final stage of the installation is adding the finishing touches. This includes fitting any remaining accessories, such as towel rails, shelves, and lighting fixtures. The team will also conduct a thorough clean-up, leaving your new bathroom spotless and ready for use. Any necessary adjustments or touch-ups are made at this stage to ensure everything is perfect.
