Bathroom Refurbishment – Northfield
At Complete Heating, we pride ourselves on delivering bathroom refurbishments that combine technical excellence with a keen eye for detail. This Northfield project showcases how a dated, stripped-back room can be transformed into a modern, family-friendly bathroom with both style and practicality in mind.
Project Overview
The existing bathroom required a complete overhaul. Walls were stripped back to bare brick, plumbing was reconfigured, and the space was carefully prepared for a fresh design that would maximise usability and comfort. Our team managed every stage of the project — from initial clearance and first-fix works through to tiling, installation, and finishing touches.
Here’s what we did:
- Wall tiling: Large-format beige ceramic tiles to create a clean, contemporary look with minimal grout lines.
- Flooring: Hard-wearing, wood-effect vinyl for warmth, durability, and easy maintenance.
- Sanitaryware: A sleek, close-coupled WC and a modern basin vanity unit with integrated storage.
- Brassware: Black mixer taps and shower fittings to add contrast and a stylish edge.
- Heating: A statement black heated towel rail, providing both comfort and a striking visual feature.
The chosen palette of soft neutrals and bold black accents ensured the bathroom felt modern, bright, and practical for everyday use.
Challenges and Solutions
The room’s original condition presented several challenges:
- Uneven surfaces: With old plaster and brickwork exposed, careful preparation and boarding were required to achieve a true, even finish for tiling.
- Compact layout: Plumbing and fixtures were reconfigured to optimise available space, ensuring the bath, basin, and toilet worked seamlessly together.
- Ventilation: An upgraded extraction system was fitted to protect the new finishes and ensure long-term performance.
By tackling each issue systematically, we ensured the finished bathroom was not only visually appealing but also robust and functional.
Final Results & Client Satisfaction
The completed bathroom is a light, contemporary space that balances style with everyday practicality. The client was delighted with the transformation, particularly the crisp tiling, the storage-friendly vanity unit, and the on-trend black detailing. With improved heating, ventilation, and layout, the family now enjoys a bathroom that is both comfortable and low-maintenance.
This Northfield refurbishment highlights our ability to manage every detail of a bathroom renovation — from initial strip-out to the final polish. At Complete Heating, we bring together quality workmanship, durable materials, and thoughtful design to create bathrooms that stand the test of time.
