- Achieving a timeless, easy-to-maintain result
How We Got It Done
Planning & Site Preparation
The existing bathroom was fully stripped out and prepared for updated plumbing, electrical services, waterproofing and tiling. The new layout and fixture positions were carefully coordinated to improve movement and make better use of the available space.
Layout, Services & Waterproofing
Plumbing and electrical services were adjusted to suit the new shower, vanity, lighting and storage features. Waterproofing and floor preparation were completed before the new tiles and fixtures were installed, supporting a durable and compliant finish.
Tiling, Fixtures & Finishing Touches
Soft stone-look tiles were installed across the walls and floor, creating a consistent and light-filled appearance. The frameless walk-in shower features dual shower heads, recessed niches and a streamlined drainage system. A white fluted vanity, integrated basin and large illuminated round mirror add texture and practical storage. Brushed metallic fixtures and minimal detailing complete the calm, contemporary design.
Delivering the Solution
The completed bathroom feels significantly brighter, more spacious and easier to use. The open shower layout improves movement, while the floating vanity and recessed niches provide practical storage without making the room feel crowded.
Soft neutral tiling, clean lines and integrated lighting create a calm and cohesive finish. The result is a refined, low-maintenance bathroom designed to support comfortable everyday living.
