When I first went to see this ensuite bathroom I was surprised by what I saw. The room was quite large, 10' x 10' but it felt small. The jetted tub that the original/previous owner had installed took up so much room that the ensuite felt cramped! It wasn't a space that I would like to spend much time in and they were open to ideas on how to make the best use of the space once the tub was removed.

We discussed many options but it was agreed that a large walk in shower was a must. Full waterproofing by Schluter Systems is a must and is always installed under all tile in every Bathtek bathroom! With the space that we had to work with we were able to offer a barrier free, (meaning no glass) zero clearance shower space. Zero clearance means no curb to step over when entering the shower. No obstacle means no trip hazard! An altogether more accessible shower space!

Lots of space for shower product storage was high on the list so we decided to go with a full shower width niche to the back wall of the shower. It was balanced by making it one full tile in height so as not to break up the tile design. The tile of choice was 24" x 24" Calacatta grey vein tile to shower walls and ceiling and 10" hexagonal tile in the same finish for the ensuite and shower floors while adding tile to the base of the wall to meet the floor tiles perfectly! Tiles were installed over Schluter's Ditra heat tile underlay with heat cable installed to give a comfortable thermostatic controlled warm floor.

A new bathroom fan with new ducting and exterior vent was installed to ensure the best moist air removal that we could and installed right where the most water vapour is produced in this ensuite, over the shower area!

Plenty of storage was needed and we opted for full vanity cabinetry along the open wall opposite the shower along with a tall storage cabinet placed centrally over the vanity cabinets. Front lit mirrors with a built in heat pad are a great addition over the vanity sink areas for direct light when using them. The heat pad is useful for anti fogging when using the mirrors in a steamy bathroom when someone else is using the shower!

An American Standard high efficiency toilet with a Vortex flush was installed with the recommended seat with soft closing action.

With just the one small window, not enough natural daylight, we needed to add lots of LED potlights to the working areas of the room with a daylight setting to them to provide the bright, light and airy feel to the room that was required.

Bathroom grade paint was applied to the walls to make maintenance over time much easier.

A complete transformation from the gloomy, cramped ensuite space that we first encountered and we expect this ensuite bathroom to be serving this family for many, many years to come!

Niche? Nice!

In a modern tiled shower or tub/shower a product niche is the way to go to keep all your shampoo, conditioner, soap etc. in fact all your shower products razors, nail brushes – I could go on (and on!), within reach and tidy. Off the floor where you won’t keep knocking them or tripping over them. Also, safer than a shelf where you can hit your elbows or catch yourself on the corner. In some cases a small niche is all you need. Two or three bottles of shampoo or conditioner is all that is required.

Sometimes two niches are needed. His and hers maybe! Grown ups and kids!

We always recommend having an inset niche installed in your new custom walk in showers or tub/showers and we have built many different designs and sizes! In our experience most people like to have a choice of shampoos etc. at hand when having a shower or bathing so a bigger niche is better. And we have built some BIG niches!

However, we don’t want to just cut a hole in the wall of your shower as somewhere for you to store your stuff. It has to look right! It has to be a part of the design! It has to be elegant and look balanced! In short it has to look like it is meant to be there! We want you to feel comfortable in your shower and be able to use it easily and so we design your niche the way we design the rest of your bathroom! Sometimes a large niche is required to achieve that look and sometimes a small niche works better.

Wherever you sit (or stand) on how you would like your niche to look, we’ve got you covered! We can build just about any size and shape!

Hope that helps! 🛁

Amazing galley bathroom transformation!

These clients with a young family contacted us to ask what could be done with their galley bathroom. They had not long ago bought the 1960’s house. The house in general is in very good shape, easy to maintain and the layout works really well for them. The problem that they inherited when they bought the house was the decaying bathroom. The main reason for the decay was the lack of ventilation. The fan had not been working since they bought the house and it looked like for quite some time before that! With nowhere for the moist air to go it formed condensation on the cold surfaces. The problem with that is it never really dries out and it starts to cause damage to all the surfaces like drywall, plaster, doors, trimwork etc meaning peeling paint, staining of plaster and wood and mould growth! Not a healthy enviroment at all! It was in need of some TLC. We listened to their needs and wants and we offered our design suggestions and we came up with a design based on their budget which would give everything they needed for their young family to grow into! Then we got to work!

After demolition and roughing in the new plumbing for the new fixtures we replaced all the damaged drywall with moisture/mould resistant drywall as is our norm. We installed LED area pot lights to give adequate lighting in the right places, a must in any modern bathroom today! A new bathroom fan sized correctly for their square footage and new fixtures was installed close to the main source of water vapour in the bathroom, the shower, to ensure quick venting to the outside of the moist air before it condensates on the surfaces.

A tub is a must for a young growing family but the adults wanted a new shower and so a tub/shower was installed to cover all the bases. A rain head and a hand held shower mounted on the shower wall helps for all washing requirements and also to help keep the shower clean. A 2 sink vanity with front lit mirrors above with storage was installed so that more than one person can use the bathroom at any time. A bathroom grade paint to all walls and ceiling in a bright cloud white colour helps to maintain a bright, fresh and airy look to this galley bathroom transformation! We achieved our goal of making this bathroom work better for these lovely clients and turn it into a space where they now want to spend time!

Stylish low ceiling basement bathroom!
You may be wondering if there is enough ceiling height in your basement to install a fully functioning walk in shower. Looks can be deceiving! You may be surprised to hear that this basement bathroom is slightly under 7 feet (that’s less than 84″) high! It’s being used by a man who is 6 feet & 4 inches tall! He fits under the rain head in this stylish, roomy walk in shower with room to spare! A hand held, wall mounted shower is included!

We were asked to design a warm, comfortable, 3 piece bathroom with a walk in shower, vanity and toilet. It had to be easy to maintain and clean as it will be used as a guest bathroom for the in laws and friends when they come to stay! For me it was a no brainer! There is no exterior light and so good area LED pot lights were a must. Also a front lit mirror, with heat pad to stop the mirror from fogging up when the shower is being used, was added for direct facial light when using the vanity. A Schluter heated floor, fully programmable for warm feet and added warmth to the room was included.

A serious “must have” in a central basement bathroom with no external ventilation is a bathroom extractor fan with venting to move the moist air to the exterior as quickly as possible. We included for this as well. As we know, if not removed as quickly as possible, moist air in a bathroom leads to condensation and mould! Unsightly yes but more importantly unhealthy if allowed to grow!

At the time of designing this bathroom I had come across a new tile to the market that came in white with different coloured heavy veining. I was very impressed with it but I particularly liked the “Crash Blue” colour! I wanted to inject some style into the space and I thought this would work well for the shower walls and ceiling. It couples really well with the woodgrain porcelain planks on the shower and bathroom floor. An envelope cut shower floor and base tile where the floor meets the wall. All installed over full Schluter waterproofing throughout. Style and design to last a lifetime!
