Nothing has such a profound impact on a potential home buyer than the bathroom. You do not have to spend a fortune either; just a few simple changes can add huge value to your home.

Like other rooms bathrooms are an easy room to get wrong, but with so many excellent bathroom fixtures and fittings now available, it is becoming ever easier to add value to a home through your choices about which showers, baths and taps to add to your bathroom, plus of course the colour schemes. Using bathrooms to add value to a home is a commonly utilised ploy because it really is one of the rooms that a potential buyer of a property is unlikely to compromise on and they will want to see a bathroom that will have a certain wow factor that continues throughout the home. Making a few simple alterations to bathrooms can have a dramatic effect on the value of a property.

You do not have to be outlandish with your design of bathroom; often it is the bathroom which has simpler and modern looking fixtures and fittings that make the biggest impression on those who view them. Classy bathroom furniture or a digital shower is often all that is needed. Estate agents will confirm that renovating a current bathroom really is one of the very best means of adding a significant amount of value to a property.

More than just stylish showers are very practical which is why they are the choice for most people as part of their daily routine. There are a number of different shower options available: from basic and affordable showers to luxury showers and water saving showers.

One of the most common types of shower, are mixer showers. These take hot and cold water from you water system allowing you to get the perfect temperature. Mixer showers can be powerful, depending on your water pressure. The other option is an electric shower: cold water is taken from your mains supply and heated by the heating element in the shower, when the water flows past. Electric showers are a good option for those with large families or those who use a lot of hot water as you don’t rely on a boiler. The can be use any time of day and heat up straight away.

Shower heads come in all shapes and sizes; from basic single function shower heads to multi-function shower heads with pulsating massage and different flow options. Fixed overhead and waterfall and rainfall showers to LED light up shower heads from Phoenix. You can choose from designs which will fit modern and contemporary as well as classic bathrooms from a wide range of manufacturers. Showers can also be fitted with duel shower heads, including fixed and moveable shower heads from Imperial or options for a two person shower.

They can be placed at any height and work well as a massage function, depending on the strength of the water jet.

When designing their dream bathroom many people forget about the lighting, but for us it is one of the most important decisions.

One thing we noticed when we moved into our larger offices, was the toilet really wasn’t suitable. As a bathroom retailer, it had to be a showcase room so in December 2012 we set about updating it from the truly bad state it was in to a stylish modern toilet which was also functional and environmentally friendly.

Like many old office toilets, ours looked in a sad state, as you can see below with beige tiles (coming off the walls in certain areas) dated sink and toilet and drab and dark lighting and a worn floor. So we had quite a challenge on our hands, good job we had some fantastic new products at our disposal!

UK Bathrooms Office Toilets – Before

The whole room had to be gutted, which included stripping back the old tiles on the walls, after removing the old tiles, we then discovered the original Victorian red brick tiles. Unfortunately they didn’t work with our new scheme, so we preserved them by tiling over them carefully. We also ripped up the flooring and installed new plumbing with a concealed cistern with wall hung frame. This was all boxed in neatly with the fan at one end of the room, so all the plumbing will be hidden as you can see below.

A Blank Canvas

We tiled the back wall, where the wall hung toilet will go, with some lovely feature tiles, which came from our sister company Ripon Interiors, they are a Grey Mosaic sheet, by Atlas Concorde.

Feature Wall

The rest of the room was tiled with “Trust” in silver, by Atlas Concorde again from Ripon Interiors. And the floor tiles from the Atlas Concorde Trust range were laid. As you can see from the image below, we are on the home stretch; the Roca Dama-N Wall Hung Toilet with Soft Close Seat is fitted and the radiator from Redroom is hung on the wall. The vanity unit from Roca which is part of the newly released Victoria N range is fitted alongside a tall storage cabinet from the range and the mirror also from Roca is hung on the wall.

Nearly there

As you can see, the new toilet, looks so much better, brighter cleaner and most of all welcoming. Everyone in the office is so much happier with the new bathroom and it’s much better when we have visitors. Not only does the bathroom look better, it also performs better. It’s much more ecological, saving water with the duel flush on the toilet and the water saving tap. Finally, the office cleaner also prefers it, as it is so much easier to clean!

Bathrooms have come a long way from being a pit toilet encased in an outhouse to being one of the most important rooms in a modern house. The bathroom hasn’t really changed much since Victorian times with the basic premise of it having a bath, toilet and sink, but now with modern technology a bathroom can now have the benefits and entertainment devices of the rest of the house.

Technology is a great thing, so why not embrace it in your new bathroom.

This shower has been designed by quartz to allow for easy fitting as a retro electric shower replacing an older one, or even when fitting an electric shower for the first time. The large “footprint” design cover hides the fixing hole that may have been made in the tiling for the older one and it has more room for easy connection of the power cable and water connections.

The Aqualisa quartz electric shower has simple illuminated one touch controls and is very easy to operate for either the young or elderly. Available in three power outputs, 8.5Kw, 9.5Kw, or the top of the range 10.5Kw having a shower which will deliver a force of water at the right temperature is no problem to the Aqualisa Quartz. With three great finishes to choose from, white and chrome, chrome or graphite and chrome, your showering area will be enhanced with this stunning electric shower.

It makes sense to use energy wisely and to save precious water resources both from an environmental point of view, and very importantly financially as well. By installing an electric shower you will achieve both of these aims. Standard showers require that hot water is supplied to this from a storage tank or through an instantaneous boiler; electric showering avoids this and is usually a cheaper option.

Aqualisa’s Quartz Electric Shower heats water for showering on demand, providing hot water for as long as it’s required. There are two performance ratings to choose from, a selector to get the best performance all year round and because it is BEAB approved it is safe, too. The Aqualisa Quartz is easy to use, has separate on/off and temperature controls comes with a 3 spray pattern shower head, with a choice of chrome or white and chrome options, guaranteed for 2 years.

Setting the proper and safe temperature for your bath is without doubt difficult task, particularly where children or the elderly involved. That’s precisely why bath shower mixer taps became popular as it enables you to check the heat in the metal base of the shower edge before you decide to shower. The conventional tap system of manually balancing cold and hot water to bring you a balanced temperature is now pretty much out of fashion, “old hat” in fact! Bath shower mixer taps undoubtedly are a kind of shower taps that function as a controller of the circulation of water through your showerhead. It’s got 2 choices of water either cold or hot.

This tap permits you to manage and blend the amount of hot or cold water so that you receive the ideal temperature you want. There are two sorts of shower mixers: thermostatic and manual shower mixer. Manuals shower mixers speak for themselves of course but today’s trend is for thermostatic bath shower mixers, the perfect choice. The perfect solution for every home, the Aquamixa Thermo combines a high performance shower with a stylish bath fill and eliminates the need to install separate bath taps. The shower head fits directly onto the wall, making the Aquamixa Thermo an inexpensive and easy to install addition to your bathroom.
