Bathroom RenovationA fresh start for your bathroom.

Bathroom renovation is a chance to make your room work better — by refreshing its finishes, reconsidering its fittings or exploring a more extensive change. Start with what you need from the space, not just how you want it to look.

Before the work begins

Start with how you use the room.

Think about the everyday things: access to fittings, storage, door movement and how many people use the bathroom. In a smaller room, accurate fixture dimensions and clear circulation can matter as much as the finish. A different layout is an option to explore, not a requirement for every renovation.

A refresh or a bigger rethink?

Replacing finishes while keeping the layout is different from moving fittings or opening up existing surfaces. Make a list of what you would like to keep and what needs to change. Tiling, plumbing and fixture choices influence one another, so discuss them together before committing to purchases.

Look beneath the finish.

Known leaks, damaged surfaces and the condition of the existing room can affect the plan. Other issues may only become visible when old finishes are removed. Materials and preparation need to suit a wet environment, with installation details appropriate to the actual site and products.

Plan around everyday life.

Discuss access to the room, what can be used during the work and how the household will manage any disruption. Scope, existing conditions, material choices, access and product requirements can all affect cost and timing. The schedule and arrangements need direct confirmation.

Agree the final scope, responsibilities, materials, price and schedule directly with Bob. Confirm who supplies each item and whether any other specialist trades are needed; neither every trade nor every fitting is automatically included.
