Bathroom Ideas & Inspo

It’s a story as old as the trade. We’re sure you know it as well as we do; we’re sure you’ve lived it. You’re called in for emergency repairs on a bathroom – something’s burst, or just leaked for far too long, and trouble’s set in – and when you get there it’s even worse than the portrait they painted...

One of the things that means bathrooms stay the same, unchanged, year on year is the pervasive belief that if you can’t completely redo them, there’s nothing really that makes sense to do.
