Nice advice mate, I'm looking at shower enclosures and cabins currently - and I quite like the idea of a quadrant cabin. I need to measure it all really. Would you recommend if I want to replace my vinyl flooring, to do that first, then replace my bath tub with a shower cabin - or is there a correct order to do this in? And what about tiles, again before or after? Cheers!

Why on earth do people still put sinks under windows. Sinks should be against the wall so you can have a mirror.

He's not wrong! This is actually really good basic advice. He's used a 500 wide unit example to help make his point, butting a 600 unit to the wall still doesn't work. Having looked at this, my guess would be you want MINIMUM 370mm measured from centre line of pan - to FINISHED wall face, regardless of unit width. Note, the vanity unit isn't butted hard against the bath either.

HI Luke, I am sorry this was a trigger point for you. Every week we spend hours in our showroom explaining the function of a bathroom to customers, Many of these customers want a toilet unit like this fitted to a wall and have been told by other shops and fitters that it ok to do this... Bathroom product sale and design led bathroom solutions are apples and oranges.... the first being a bad apple!!! Sorry for the trigger.

Just buy a WC unit that is 600mm wide not 500mm wide so that you’re not left with a gap. Simples!
@Coventrybathrooms6 ай бұрын
Hi Rob, thank you for the feed back. A 600mm unit will create the same problem and would need to be fitted away from the wall. It would only increase the leg space to the side of the toilet to 12cm. It still wouldnt be enough. A well fitted toilet will have roughly 20cm to the side for leg space. A 50cm or 60cm vanity unit creates a problem when fitting it to the wall. A gap is still needed.

nice, be sure to go back and silicone seal the bottom of the cabinets - you have left a gap, people get out of the shower and puddles leak under the units and expand/burst them. Also, be sure to use high quality fittings, that tap for example will need to be changed with 18-24 months because the low quality chrome plating with rust/bubble - less hassle to spend slightly more on fittings during install and get a decent brand such as Bristan for example.

@Coventrybathrooms Жыл бұрын
If you take the bath out, it is a good idea to isolate the water to the bathroom, then isolate the hot and cold feeds on each water pipe. The taps are normally connected by a nut that is screwed tight to the under side of the bath. This nut will need to be turned release the tap from the bath

Hi Marjorie, One of the problems is the manufactures, they take images of their products installed against walls. Customers then request that the fitter fit in this manner, the fitter looks at the images and carries out the instructions. This is the reason i made this video, to try and steer people in the right direction.. Keep safe and well.

HI Crazy diamond, the client had three options with the shower. The first option was to remain using a low pressure shower like what was fitted when the house was built. The second option was to install the infrastructure to run an electric shower and the third option taken by the client was to increase the water pressure and fit a pump to pump. The client is very happy with their choice of increasing the water pressure to the shower by fitting a shower pump... Keep safe and well.

@Coventrybathrooms3 жыл бұрын
Hi Kausar, if the vanity was closer to the shower or toilet, it would block the area and create a pinch point stopping people using the shower or toilet. The location and postion of the vanity basin allows a pathway to and from the shower and toilet area. I hope this information better explains the reason for the vanity basin location.
