Garage Conversion Specialists

Only about 6% of homes in the UK were built during or after 2012, which means there are quite a few old bathrooms out there! Many homeowners enamoured with the charm of older homes still want the convenience of modern features, which may seem like a difficult balance to strike but we’re here to help.

Describing a bathroom as “high performance” means that form and function have been given equal consideration throughout the design. After all, a beautiful bathroom that doesn’t function properly is practically useless and, as an essential facility, what’s the point of that? The ideal bathroom features an expertly designed interior complemented by modern-day amenities.

From compact city flats to spacious country residences, our team of experienced renovation professionals is dedicated to designing a bathroom that is perfectly suited to your lifestyle needs and your home’s aesthetic.

How does Refresh help?

Though bathroom renovations are relatively small scale, there’s no shortage of challenges involved. Having completed thousands of successful renovations, we’ve seen them all and are well-equipped to face obstacles head-on. The 5-step Refresh process was designed to mitigate risks; our experienced Renovation Consultants utilise this method to deliver renovations on time and within budget.  

“From the moment Refresh Renovations came for a home visit, we knew we were in good hands. They ensured everything ran as smoothly as possible during our bathroom renovation. Refresh understood our needs and I highly recommend them. Should the need arise, we would be more than happy to use Refresh again.” - Kim, Refresh client

Transparent communication and thorough planning are at the core of our process as we believe these factors have the most significant impact on a successful renovation. But we don’t measure success solely on the results of a project. Homeowner satisfaction is a driving force behind Refresh and it’s our mission to provide a positive and stress-free experience.

A smoother bathroom renovation process

Our 5-step approach to renovations was designed to keep projects running smooth, on schedule, and within budget.

Step 1

Briefing / Initial Consultation

Starting off your bathroom renovation journey with a thorough consultation gets everyone on the same page. It’s an opportunity for you to share all your ideas, big and small, with your Renovation Consultant. If you need a walk-in shower for ageing parents or an extra tub for washing your dog, now is the time to let us know!

Step 2

Concept and Feasibility

Once you’ve shared your goals, you and your Renovation Consultant will review concept designs to determine what’s achievable. You may find that you need to make tweaks to come in under budget, or that you can make some unexpected upgrades such as opting for a marble vanity. Regardless of what they may be, this is a great stage in the process to make changes to your bathroom design.

Step 3

Working Drawings and Costing

Working drawings are the next step. They differ from concept drawings because they take into account the functionality of your design and focus on aspects such as structural integrity and architectural engineering. You’ll always be in control, but to avoid additional expenses and delays further along, this is when you want to make any changes to the plans as it’s the last step before building begins. If no further alterations are necessary, you’ll be presented with a fixed quote and contract to sign off on before moving forward.

Step 4

Build / Construction Stage

Now is when you get to sit back and watch your bathroom take shape. Reliable contractors and trusted tradespeople, coordinated by your Renovation Consultant, will transform your existing space into the bathroom you've been dreaming of. If any unexpected issues arise, you can rest assured they’ll be dealt with promptly and with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Step 5

Your Finished Renovation

That’s it! Your renovation is finished! Alongside your fantastic new bathroom, your Renovation Consultant will provide you with the necessary council documentation. A completed Code of Compliance certificate is required to prove that all craftsmanship was completed to a high standard. Keep that somewhere safe, and then enjoy your new bathroom!

What are popular bathroom design styles in the UK?

This is a list of some of the common design styles that we are seeing in our projects across the UK:

  • Classic Contemporary: Classic contemporary style interiors are curated, minimal, and uncluttered. This style focuses on refined elegance, where handcrafted, quality-made pieces, deliberate use of colour and texture, and attention to detail combine to achieve sophistication and timeless beauty.
  • Modern Traditional: Modern Traditional combines the classic shapes and vintage appeal of traditional decor, with the clean lines and simplistic hues of contemporary furnishings. It's the balance (and it is all about the balance!) of old meets new that can make a space feel refined and elegant yet relaxed and cosy at the same time.

Do I need Buildings Regulations approval to renovate my bathroom?

In the United Kingdom, the need for a Buildings Regulations approval for a new bathroom largely depends on the extent of the work involved.

Generally, if your bathroom renovation involves structural changes, plumbing alterations, or electrical work, it is likely that you will require a building consent. This is because these changes may affect the safety, durability, and compliance of the building.

Your renovation consultant at Refresh can take care of this on your behalf during the Working Drawings and Costing stage of the process. They will be able to assess whether a building consent is required and guide you through the process to ensure compliance with the UK’s building standards.

How long does a bathroom renovation usually take in the UK?

The duration of a bathroom renovation project can vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as the scope of the project and the specific circumstances of the remodel. A minor remodel that involves primarily cosmetic changes such as painting, replacing fixtures, or updating the lighting could take a few days to a week to complete.

However, a major bathroom renovation that involves significant changes to the layout or requires extensive plumbing or electrical work could take several weeks or even months to complete. During our working drawings and costing stage of our bespoke 5-step process, we will work with you to prepare a gantt chart showing expected timeline for your bathroom remodeling project.

What factors should I consider when planning a bathroom renovation? UK

If you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What design style are you drawn to? (e.g. minimalist, modern, classic)
  • Have you considered a budget? Do you need to talk to a bank or mortgage broker about finance?
  • Have you checked your calendar for the most convenient time of year to renovate your bathroom?
  • If you have only one bathroom in your house, have you considered an alternative solution whilst the bathroom is undergoing the renovation?
  • How much space is there to work with, do you need to extend or is there sufficient space available to achieve what you are looking for?
  • How much storage is required?

Having this information ready will make it that much easier to plan your bathroom remodelling project with our team.

How much does a bathroom renovation typically cost in the UK?

At Refresh, we’ve completed a range of bathroom renovations costing anywhere from around £8,000 to upwards of £30,000, each one accomplishing a different goal. Get in touch to schedule an initial briefing meeting - we can work with you through our concept and feasibility process to understand the options, ideas and costs for your project.

We engaged the services of Sharon Giblett of Refresh Renovations Tauranga for our bathroom, ensuite and toilet renovation. From start to finish the project ran smoothly. Given Omicron landed bang in the middle of our project Sharon’s professionalism, attention to detail, and problem solving ability saw the project completed on time albeit in difficult circumstances which was an exceptional result. We cannot speak highly enough of Sharon and her contractors. The quality of the finished product has exceeded our expectations and helped realise the vision we had for those spaces. Julie and I would not hesitate to recommend others seek Sharon out if you're considering a similar project.
