Planning a Bathroom Upgrade
Set a Budget
Before starting any renovations, determine how much you are willing to spend. This will help guide your choices for fixtures, materials, and labour costs. Consider setting aside a portion of your budget for unexpected expenses, particularly when dealing with older plumbing and heating systems.
Decide on the Scope of Work
Consider whether you need extensive renovations or just a few upgrades, like new fixtures or a fresh coat of paint. A complete overhaul may involve new flooring, tiling, bathroom suite installation, and upgrading your central heating system, while minor upgrades might include new taps, lighting, or improved ventilation.
Hire a Professional
Our heating engineers are experts in bathroom refurbishments and can ensure the safe and efficient completion of essential elements such as central heating installations and boiler servicing. We will also conduct gas safety checks and boiler repairs where necessary, ensuring bathrooms and ensuites remain safe and functional spaces.
Key Bathroom Upgrades to Consider
Consider upgrades that enhance comfort, energy efficiency, and safety to create a stylish and practical bathroom.
- Modern Fixtures and Fittings – Install water-efficient taps and showerheads to reduce water usage. Opt for stylish vanity units with ample storage and upgrade to a contemporary toilet with dual flush functionality.
- Heating and Ventilation Improvements – Consider underfloor heating for a luxurious feel and install a heated towel rail for added comfort. Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent moisture buildup and mould, so ensure the bathroom and ensuite in your Botley residence have effective extractor fans.
- Boiler and Plumbing Upgrades – New boiler installations can improve energy efficiency and hot water pressure. Regular boiler servicing and gas safety checks will keep your heating system in top condition. Upgrading your central heating installations will help maintain a comfortable temperature throughout your home.
- Aesthetic Enhancements – Use light colours and mirrors to create a spacious feel, incorporate stylish tiles and waterproof wall panels, and add ambient lighting for a relaxing atmosphere.
Essential Maintenance
Once your bathroom refurbishments are complete, ongoing maintenance is key.
- Schedule regular boiler servicing to ensure your heating system operates efficiently.
- Perform routine plumbing checks to prevent leaks, water damage, and potential boiler repairs.
- Keep surfaces clean to avoid mould and mildew buildup, especially in areas with high moisture levels.
