Bathroom types
Bungalow bathrooms and future-proof layouts
What we look at first
- Solid floors allow a formed fall for level
- access without the joist work a first-floor wet room needs.
- Doorway widths in older bungalows are often
- the limiting factor long before the bathroom itself is.
- Planning noggins for future grab rails during
- the refit costs very little and avoids ripping tiles off later.
Where jobs go wrong
Solid floors allow a formed fall for level access without the joist work a first-floor wet room needs.
Questions we get asked
Should a bungalow bathroom keep the bath?
If it is the only bathroom and the household is able-bodied, keeping a bath with a shower over is a sensible compromise.
Is level access harder on a solid floor?
No, it is usually easier, the fall can be formed within the floor build-up rather than between joists.
Not ready to book, just weighing it up?
That is fine, questions at the thinking stage are the cheapest ones to ask, and they usually save a change of mind later.
