Bathroom Design by Sunshine Bathrooms Of Sheffield

There are several mistakes that people make when designing their new bathrooms, including:

• Not shopping around: Many people think that a one-bathroom showroom is much the same as any other, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Each designer and manufacturer has their unique style and these styles will suit different people’s tastes better than others.
  Missing trade discounts: Many people make a mistake in thinking that they have to buy all of their products through us when we can often offer big discount deals with our suppliers for bulk buys.
• Miscalculating delivery times: Speedy bathroom installation is crucial if you want your new bathroom up and running before Christmas or over the summer holidays! Some companies quote long time frames which are unrealistic – so always check their background first before hiring them.
• Not checking orders as they arrive: You should check through your orders as they come in to ensure that everything is included and nothing has been damaged during transit. Not checking them can result in you being stuck without a vital piece of equipment for the installation, which will only prolong the time it takes to have your bathroom finished properly!
• Switching things around unnecessarily: It’s important not to switch fixtures or fittings if they won’t suit the new layout – when trying out different layouts before finalising on one with us we’ll use tape measures and markers so that there are no misunderstandings about what materials need purchasing at each stage.
• Overlooking door clearing: If doors cannot be taken off their hinges then make sure that any switches or power points etc. near where the door will be are placed at an accessible height
• Buying the wrong shower screen: When choosing your new shower screen, make sure it suits the style of bathroom you’ve chosen. If you want to keep things simple then try a frameless glass or chrome one instead of something with lots of different parts; if you’re trying for more glamour opt for black framed panels and nickel fittings.
• Not considering bath tap positioning: If you’re going for a freestanding bath then your tap fittings may need to be on the side of the tub rather than at either end.
• Overlooking tile grouting: We offer professional bathroom renovation in Sheffield, always ensuring that any grout lines are filled and left smooth as this is an essential part of preparation before painting or wallpapering commences. Make sure there are no crushed tiles from previous renovations too as these can leave marks and even tiny lumps where new paint doesn’t cover them.
• Not treating wood finishes: We know that wood finishes need to be treated with a suitable oil, varnish or water-based stain before applying paint.
• Not thinking about lighting: Sunshine Bathrooms is the local bathroom fitting expert and we understand how important it is to add good quality lights when you’re designing your dream bathroom. This can make all of the difference between making everything look amazing and you feeling like something is missing from your new space. Not only does this mean having overhead downlighters but also under cabinet strip lights for tasks such as shaving and general grooming in front of mirrors which is often needed in bathrooms due to their design allowing them natural light; however, these areas might not always get the attention they deserve.
  Lazy layouts: When the layout is lazy it means the bathroom isn’t functional and easy to use. Our experts always try to help our clients with creating user-friendly layouts, but there is no escaping that they can take up more space than you might have initially planned for when designing your new bathroom suite.
• Blowing the budget: Sometimes spending too much money on a bathroom renovation project just ends in stress if everything doesn’t go according to plan or even worse; you end up paying over the odds for something which has broken down again within only three months of having been installed! We believe in getting high-quality products at good value without compromising like this so we make sure every penny is well spent.
• Poor pipe planning: We believe in ensuring that your bathroom renovation project has all of the right elements and components within it to make things run smoothly and easily for you, without having any unnecessary costs or expenses come through at a later date. The best way we can do this is by making sure there are no poor design choices made when working on the plumbing aspects of the new suite itself – which means doing away with poorly designed baths, toilets and showers!
• Dismissing privacy: We are also committed to ensuring that you have privacy and comfortability in your bathroom design project. So often this is overlooked, but it is so important! We can do this by creating a layout for your new suite which ensures maximum levels of privacy – making sure even if there isn’t much space available within the bathroom itself, we use clever designs to ensure no one has any reason to be able to see into or out from each other’s washrooms.
