Case Study: Full Ensuite Refurbishment. A Modern Transformation After 20 Years

6 Jun

Project Overview

Our client reached out to us with a clear goal in mind: to breathe new life into their ensuite, which hadn’t seen a major update in nearly two decades. The space was beginning to show signs of age, with out-dated fixtures, tired surfaces, and limited functionality. They wanted something modern, sleek, and above all, practical. A relaxing retreat they could enjoy every day.

Initial Consultation & Planning

During our first consultation, we took the time to understand the client’s specific needs and preferences. Their main requests included:

A spacious, easy-access shower
Modern tiling for a fresh, clean look
Improved storage solutions
A towel rail that could be used independently from central heating

We worked collaboratively to design a layout and specification that met these goals while making the most of the available space. Once the plan was finalised, we scheduled the refurbishment, ensuring minimal disruption to the rest of the home.

Refurbishment Process

Strip Out & Preparation

The first step was a full strip-out of the existing ensuite. We removed the old fixtures, fittings, tiles, and wall boards to prepare for a fresh start. Given the age of the space, we also checked the condition of the internal structure, plumbing, and electrics to ensure everything was safe and up to standard.

Re-boarding the Internal Walls

To create a strong, moisture-resistant base for the new tiles, we re-boarded all internal walls. This step is crucial for durability and ensures the finish remains flawless for years to come.

Walk-In Shower Installation

One of the key features of this refurbishment was the walk-in shower enclosure, a major upgrade from the previous unit. We installed a Mira Platinum power shower, which includes a rainfall shower head for a spa-like experience. This shower system offers precise temperature control and a sleek design that elevates the entire room.

Full Wall & Floor Tiling

The ensuite was fully tiled using modern, clean-lined tiles that give the space a crisp, polished look. The client chose neutral tones that reflect natural light beautifully, helping the room feel brighter and more open. This finish not only looks great but is also easy to clean and maintain.

New Vanity Unit & Storage Solutions

Storage was a key priority for the client, so we installed a stylish vanity unit with integrated storage, offering ample room for daily essentials. We also added a mirrored wall unit, which doubles up as both storage and a light-enhancing feature.

Dual-Fuel Towel Rail

To enhance comfort, we installed a 1800mm tall dual-fuel towel rail, which allows the client to heat their towels independently of the central heating system; ideal for warmer months when heating isn’t required but warm towels are still appreciated.

Final Result

The transformation is stunning. The ensuite now feels light, open, and luxurious. A far cry from its dated beginnings. The client was thrilled with the result, particularly the combination of aesthetics and practicality.

Client feedback:
“I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Everything looks amazing, and the shower is a dream! The team were fantastic from start to finish - professional, tidy, and kept me updated throughout.”
