Bathroom Fitter Brighton & Hove

Finding a Fitter

So just how do you go about picking the best bathroom fitter for your needs? There are three main steps:

• Research:Before you make any concrete decision, it is important that you thoroughly research the options available in your area. Look for reviews, ask for recommendations, and make sure that you always meet up with any potentials in person to see what kind of vibes you get; this person will be working in your home, and so it is super important that you are comfortable with them.
• Check their experienceNot all bathroom fitters are created equal, and so it is important to ensure that your selection has plenty of experience in the area you need help with. If you are just looking for an update of fixtures and fittings, look for someone who lists this as a top skill, and who has positive feedback. Similarly, if you need a total bathroom overhaul, it is a good idea to check that the tradesperson has tackled this sort of project before, and with favourable outcomes. This means that expectations are clear on both sides, and neither party is left feeling disappointed.
• Double-check the quote: Getting a solid quote is one of the most important aspects of choosing a bathroom fitter. There are a few things to consider here; the first of which is of course affordability. Make sure that you can comfortably manage the quote, without having to seek extra sources of funding. Secondly, make sure that you know exactly what the quote covers, and get this confirmed in writing. Less scrupulous fitters may offer an initial amount for the work, only for you to discover that the price is increasing as the job goes on, with unexpected expenses and costs. Make sure you receive a clear, itemised bill, and that both parties are aware that this is the final fixed price unless further negotiations take place which both are happy with. This avoids the risk of you being stung by a high bill that you struggle to pay.

Incredible Bathroom Designs for Your Home

Introduction

Your bathroom is perhaps the only place where you can revitalize your mind and unwind your body. Experience the steamy atmosphere, bubbling hot water, and the soothing soap bubbles in perfect solitude. The steam and water soak you, cleanse you, and uplift your moods. Of course, there are many more miracles you can experience in your bathroom.

Renovation Parameters

If you are unable to feel any of such experiences right now, it is time to renovate your bathroom. There are some fundamental parameters you have to consider while choosing renovation options.

• Structural elements
• Functional elements
• Aesthetic elements
• Hygienic elements

Structural Elements

Plumbing Network –Foundational Elements

Is the existing network feasible and practical? You have to check the water lines, drains and the sewage system.  They include pipes, valves, fittings, and fixtures (taps, washbasins, toilets, showers, etc). If there are defects, you have the options for repairs or replacements. Either way, the system has to work efficiently without defects. Some of the suggested elements you may remember are

• Material selection (fixtures, pipes, valves, fittings, etc)
• Network layout (smooth flow rate, optimum water pressure, zero-reverse flow, etc)
• Distance between water pipes, drain pipes, and sewage pipes, power lines, gas pipes, etc

Floors, walls, and Ceiling –Basic elements

Renovation of the three structures could be a need or an enhancement. The need arises, when the existing structures are damaged and non-functional. You have to enhance when the old design or structural elements have become obsolete. In both cases, you can use the checklist for renovation.

• New floor type (tiles, concrete, or limestone)
• Floor design, colour, and patterns
• Wall design (glossy tiles, matt tiles, cement tiles, artistic tiles, etc)
• Ceiling lights, cladding, panel, cladding, and design, etc
• Ambient surround-sound system

Fixtures layout – Comfort Elements

Once you have changed the basic elements, it is obvious you have to change the comfort elements. Now, you have to think like a bathroom designer.

• Measure the gross space (before installing storage cabinets and related furniture) and net free space (after)
• Make a list of fixtures you want (washbasin, bathtub, shower, water heater, etc)
• Allocate minimum free space for movement within the bathroom
• Check the fixture installation order and practical size of each fixture
• Plan the installation points
• Install the fixtures

The water inlets to the fixtures and the outlets from the fixtures have to be in conformance to the plumbing network designs.

Functional Elements

Taps

You can choose the design, shape, material, and number of faucets required for your bathroom based on your need. A faucet assembly with connections to cold and hot water sources can be useful during summer and winter. You may choose manual control or a faucet sensor which detects your hand movement to start and stop the water flow valve wherever it is practical to install.

Showers

Choose a shower design which can soak your body within the shortest time. It should have a controllable GPM (gallons per minute), pressure, and temperature values. The water heater panel will usually have these inbuilt controls. Side-showers, head-shower, and handheld shower can be useful for hot water body massaging and hydrotherapy. You can plan for such a system if there is sufficient space.

Bathtub

Check the available space for the bathtub and install at the appropriate location. You may connect it to the water heater with a mixer utility. It should have controls to regulate the ratio of hot and cold water.

Water-Heater

The water heater can be electrical, natural-gas powered or other types. Safety, durability, and 24X7-functionality are the parameters you have to ensure.

Aesthetic Elements

The aesthetic elements are integrated into the structural and functional parameters. For example, you can choose the floor, wall, and ceiling designs based on Victorian, Irish, classical, or modernist styles. The colour combinations can be rustic, classical, or artistic patterns. You may choose the shape of faucets, washbasins, bathtubs, and cabinets from the antique, classical and modernist styles.

Hygienic Elements

Hygienic elements are also integrated into the structural and functional elements. For example, you can choose a tiling system that is free from algae and pathogen deposits. You may choose a plumbing network free from clogging, foul smell, and pathogen deposits.

Conclusion

Professional home renovators can help you in the task of renovation from the planning to the completion stage.
