Lorraine Ritchie lived in a Victorian 3 storey semi-detached property that featured a long and thin small bathroom. The room layout really limited the design possibilities hence the current fixture location which included a P-shaped shower bath, closed coupled WC and pedestal basin with mirrored cabinet.
Although in great working order the fully tiled 3 piece suite with detailed boarder was ready for an update in the form of a complete rip out and refit.
With an aim of the finished refurbishment complimenting Lorraine’s design and style preferences we had our work cut out ensuring we could deliver the wants, needs and requirements of the project within the available space.
The biggest struggle with refurbishing this particular bathroom was overcoming the size and shape. Wanting to introduce traditional fixtures and fittings, and possibly a free standing bath, Lorraine was happy to leave More Bathrooms Surveyor & Designer, Andy, with the task of designing the room and presenting her with the options for final choices.
Despite his best efforts it was impossible for Andy to fit a classical free standing bath into the renovation project however he did propose the idea of a semi-fitted free standing concept which would work a treat in the available space. Further complimenting the traditional styling, Andy designed the suite to feature a traditional pedestal basin and WC, half tiled the walls in a gloss white ceramic with off white grouting and, with guidance from Lorraine, introduced a striking Victorian patterned floor tile which really enhanced the traditional design.
A striking gloss white traditional suite, aside from the flooring, Lorraine requested the room to be left in a semi-sterile state as she wanted to introduce her own colour schemes within the finishing touches; with a particular focus on the decoration, where the walls did not feature tiles, and through final accessory choice.
A sophisticated and elegant renovation in terms of installation the finished transformation was a timeless traditional treat. Bringing the design concept to life More Bathrooms Multi-Skilled Installer, Steve, took the refurbishment from concept to completion, replicating the 3D visuals with meticulous precision.
“My experience of this company has been excellent from start to finish.
Having lost my husband to cancer, aged 50, 4 years ago I always find it daunting to take on such a huge renovation. My support from Andy to design and plan my new bathroom was faultless, he made sure I knew all the options and gave his opinion when I asked for it. Steve was my fitter, he was also brilliant. Such a talented man, working relentlessly to ensure every detail was sorted.
In an old house, there were some stumbling blocks but Steve overcame these with ease. Overall I have had a great experience, I love my new bathroom and would recommend More Bathrooms every time. Thank you”
what our customers say
Full marks to More Bathrooms who have recently completed a major bathroom conversion for us plus the installation of an additional en suite in an adjacent bedroom.
Their installer, Steve, proved to be a master of most of the skills required and adequately managed the attendance of other tradesmen at the appropriate times. He kept us informed of progress and problems on a daily basis and paid great attention to doing the work without disruption or unnecessary alterations to our house.
The works were completed within the projected time scale of five weeks and budgeted costs were achieved. We have full confidence in recommending More Bathrooms for similar projects elsewhere.

I have just had my shower room completely refitted and am delighted with the result. When I go in there I feel I am in a hotel!
The design service beforehand was excellent, as was the actual fitting. Carl (my fitter) couldn’t have been more kind and considerate; I know I am not an easy customer.
The work threw up some unexpected challenges because of the way this house was converted to flats ages ago, but Carl surmounted them. He worked extremely hard and remained cheerful. He also took all due care Covid - wise with distancing, sanitising etc, so I am glad I had the shower room done at this time despite reservations because of the pandemic.

At every stage our expectations were exceeded.
Mr & Mrs Brown, Pudsey, Leeds, West Yorkshire
I would totally recommend this company. They have done an amazing job transforming our much hated narrow, small bathroom into a warm and bright space that blends traditional elements with modern design.
The designer worked with us on our ideas, guiding us but never overriding our opinions, to come up with a design that made the most of the space available, and actually makes the bathroom appear wider and with more space.
The workman carried out the work with a minimum of fuss, was tidy, kept us informed of the progress (and the few snaggles he hit along the way, given that it is a Victorian house with Victorian lines!) and completed the work to a very high standard.
We could probably have spent a little less, however it was totally worth spending a little more to get the service, the workmanship and the peace of mind and reputation that an established company brings.
Julie Hutchfield, Bramley, Leeds, West Yorkshire
More Bathrooms have been excellent from start to finish. Garry was very helping with the design and Sam was superb as the Fitter. He worked very hard and ensured that everything was left clean and tidy - very impressive. The finished result is amazing - everything we had hoped.
Thank you - highly recommended.
