Start with the right questions
Choose around who uses the bathroom, how much space is available and what can be achieved with the existing services. The most photogenic option is not always the most comfortable.
- Record the routines of the people using the room.
- Review water containment, drying space and usable clearances.
- Consider cleaning access and storage for everyday products.
Work from the actual room
Replacing a bath with a shower changes the wet-area layout and may change drainage requirements. A site review should establish levels, existing connections and the proposed enclosure. If keeping both, test whether each remains practical rather than squeezing in a second feature at the expense of movement.
What to ask for
Before agreeing the next stage, request the following information in a form you can review with your project team.
- A measured layout with clearances
- A review of drainage and water supply
- An agreed fixture and storage schedule
Bring the brief to a specialist
Share your location, current photographs, approximate dimensions and priorities. A scoped review can then identify the information needed for a useful proposal. Product choices, project dates and final prices should follow the actual property and agreed specification.
Make this useful for your project.
A review of your property and priorities can turn general guidance into a defined brief.
