Prior to jumping in the car or getting online to source the first suite you come to that fits your allowed dimensions just bear in mind current plumbing and water inlets.

Moving a soil pipe, for instance, could cost several hundred pounds by the time you’ve forked out for materials and professional plumbing. However you might also find that moving an awkwardly placed toilet will completely transform the renovation possibilities for your bathroom.

If, like many families, you have room for either a bath or a shower but not both you might run into problem. Some people can’t do without their daily shower, whereas others can’t imagine life without the occasional long, hot soak. Can you please all the people all of the time?

These bath units have a curved section at one end that allows plenty of space for showering, these bath units normally have a curved shower screen to prevent water going everywhere. The showerbath makes it possible to please all members of the household.

Bathroom suites and in particular baths come in some many different dimensions that you will be spoilt for choice you are sure to find one that fits your requirements. Some of the smaller compact baths feature a tapered shaped that reduces the amount of floor space taken up and although these sound more expensive often they are not.

Alternatively, you could go for a complete space saving bathroom suite. These maximise space by clever use of built in cabinets and corner fitted sanitary ware. You might find that a corner sink or a corner fitting toilet completely alleviates the problems that come with having limited space.

If you are lucky enough to have space for both a bath and shower cubicle then the bathroom manufacturers have realized that they need to expand their range of space saving designs. The corner shower is a popular option taking less space and if you use this in conjunction with a shower curtain or sliding shower door then the overall space required for the shower unit will be minimal.

Many modern homes don’t have the space for both a bath and shower. Sometimes this causes an issue in the household. Some need their long relaxing soaks in the bath to ease the stress of the day and others just hanker for a massaging shower.

In this case you may want to consider a showerbath. These bath units have a curved section at one end that allows plenty of space for showering, these bath units normally have a curved shower screen to prevent water going everywhere. The showerbath makes it possible to please all members of the household.

Baths are now available in so many combinations of shape and size that you are almost guaranteed to find one that will fit you specifications. Some space-saving baths, for example, have a gently narrowed shape that doesn’t eat up so much floor space. One advantage is that these aren’t tremendously expensive either.

If the whole suite space is an issue then you will probably need to choose a specifically designed suite that uses the corners for basins and toilets. These suites will definitely make the most of the space you have available particularly if you add in clever storage as well.

How can it be so confusing, you ask, when all you’re really looking for is a washbasin and toilet? You just wait and see! Also, don’t forget that, if you have enough space, you can add to the value of your property by installing a shower and some storage facilities to the cloakroom too.

Let’s get back to the basics, though, and think in terms of the essentials first.

There are two major considerations that cannot be overlooked – the budget you have available and the space you have to fill. And don’t forget to factor in installation! If you have a fair command of DIY techniques, it might be that you can install the new cloakroom suite, thereby saving money or increasing the cost of what you can afford in terms of sanitary fittings and dcor.

When it comes to style it really is a case of each to their own – whether you are a traditionalist or a lover of sleek, contemporary looks you are bound to find a suite to suit. Here’s a quick guide:

If you’re a traditionalist, you will be drawn to bathroom furniture with curves and rounded edges. Toilets and basins will be supported by pedestals and white or cream will probably be the order of the day.

If, however, your personal style is more contemporary, you should be thinking more in terms of wall hung basins and toilets – with no old-fashioned pedestals. Modern lines are angular and sleek; taps are wall-mounted or lever-operated and cisterns and toilet pans are seemingly unconnected! Some washbasins are simply mounted on existing pieces of furniture. The beauty of modernity is that it fits into smaller spaces, which is possibly why contemporary cloakroom suites are so popular.

Whatever your style-choice, choose the very best you can afford within your budget, always remembering that you are aiming for function as well as beauty.

If you’re looking to find a new bathroom suite the chances are that, along with millions of others, you enter the phrase Bathroom Suites UK into your web browser. It’s a good place to start but it throws up so many results, many of them irrelevant, that the result is more likely to be total confusion than finding your ideal bathroom suite.

Entering bathroom suites UK into Google’s search engine has just thrown up 3.5 million results! The majority of those results will be of little interest to you because the search term you have used is far too wide. You will be confronted with every page on the web that contains the words ‘bathroom,’ ’suites,’ and ‘UK.’ And those pages won’t necessarily be talking about bathroom fixtures and fittings! 

So, let’s take a look at a more efficient way of searching for that UK bathroom suite you’re looking for.

The first thing to remember is that every word you enter into the search engine is important. The second thing to remember is that the more specific your search terms, the more specific the results. 

Lastly your computer is only a box of bits! It cannot think for you and up to now artificial intelligence is only in the movies although there are lots of tools on the internet to help narrow down your search it is just a case of finding them. 

Right lets track back to what we are looking to purchase a bathroom suite. We originally searched for bathroom ’suites UK’ a simple way of narrowing down the search results is to put the phrase into quotes when you punch it into Google. This will then tell Google that you only want it to show websites that have the phrase ‘ bathroom suites UK’ displayed within their text. This should narrow things down a bit and have good relevancy to you.

We are now getting down to the nitty gritty and the more specific you are the more relevant the search results will be. You want a bathroom suite but must have some idea of the type. Corner bathroom suite for example put this is quotes into the Google search and you will see a lot less results, this doesn’t mean there is a lot less choice it just means you are sorting the wheat from the chaff. 

If you want you can go one stage further and put the colour of bathroom suite you want this will narrow things down even further and should give search results that are highly relevant to the new bathroom suite that you desire.

Although an increased number of new bathroom suite designs are readily available in the marketplace. The range of cheaper end bathroom suites has not become more accessible. With the increased market for the products you would expect to see a fall in prices for the bathroom suites in this range. The reason for a lack of price reductions is puzzling.

St Ives Contemporary Bathroom Suite £549

Cheap bathroom suites are available! You just need to know where to look. The big DIY stores that we all think of first are not always the best place and neither are the independent bathroom product stores. 

The reality is that in the cheaper end of the market, bathroom suites are available but it is knowing where to source them. The large DIY chains and associated outlets are not necessarily the best place to obtain deals on bathroom suites. Specialist bathroom showrooms tend to lean towards the higher end of the bathroom suites range. 

This may not surprise you but do you know how much it costs to run one of those big DIY stores? The overheads involved with the day to day running are enormous and there is only one person that these costs get passed onto, the customer. Yes these chains may have huge buying power for bathroom suites but they need to have this buying power to survive everybody wants a bathroom suite at a cheap price and these chains need to display and market the ranges whilst still maintaining their profit margins. 

Bathroom suite manufacturers and suppliers have operating margins to work to, which results in prices generally in line with each other and limits their options to price cut to any great degree.

Rowan Bathroom Suite £499

But all is not lost with careful planning research and an eye for a deal it is possible to buy cheap bathroom suites without compromising on quality. 

The best place to start your search is online. Take a look at price comparison sites and directories of cheap bathroom suite suppliers; then go on to read through independent reviews of particular suites that spark your interest. 

Something else to look for, something that many people fail to take advantage of, are discount vouchers. They’re out there if you look for them. 

Once you have been through the whole process and found the bathroom suite at a discount price, make sure you know exactly what you are getting, sometimes companies will advertise a cheap bathroom suite to get you in but then give you a list of items that are not included therefore increasing the price to a not so cheap level. 

With a bit of online leg-work, there is absolutely no reason why you can’t find yourself a bargain; a cheap bathroom suite that looks the business and ticks all the right boxes for you. 

The magic of the internet helps you to find your products required it’s just a matter of surfing the internet.

Balterley Spirit Bathroom Suite £587

It’s probably pretty obvious that if you want a minimalist look to your bathroom white is the way to go. Minimalism, which is based around the idea of stripping away anything frivolous or that has no purpose, can be linked to Zen and the art of meditation. This just goes to prove that, to be a sanctuary, your bathroom doesn’t have to be filled with marble and gold plate. In fact, a plain white bathroom suite, devoid of ornament, is exactly what the Master ordered!

Something we touched earlier with minimalist design white bathroom suites is the fact that the overall design needs much less space as you have already got rid of the clutter that isn’t required in the bathroom. Unfortunately new homes being built are having bathrooms that seem to be getting smaller. For the ultimate in clean lines and minimalist design in using a white bathroom suite with white tiles white walls and ceiling, it will make the room appear larger and have a very fresh feel, just be careful that you don’t go too far and give your bathroom that clinical hospital like feel.

The flip side is that the minimalist design doesn’t fit with all design plans. Some prefer the very decadent styles with powerful colours and lots of accessories, a white bathroom suite can again be used in this environment to perhaps keep the overall design from becoming too over the top. There see how flexible a white bathroom suite can be.

A white bathroom suite if thats what you choose, will give the best choices on colours in the bathroom lets face it white is a one fits all colour. So if you like an electric blue colour don’t worry your bathroom suite will always match and look great. And even further down the line when you decide on changing the colour of the walls or tiles the original white bathroom suite will match.

Valadares Nautilius Cloakroom Suite £978

Well i have talked a lot about the colour, but what about the style. White certainly doesn’t have to be the safe boring choice. The range of white bathroom suites available is huge with the most traditional including roll top baths to the most contemporary designs with clean sharp lines.

When we are re-designing our bathrooms we normally know if we want minimalist or decadent, the first consideration should be the bathroom suite itself with a white one near of not top of the shopping list.

Finn Corner Suite LH

£449.00

Corner baths are great space savers but they’re also great at filling up some of the floor space in an over large bathroom; they give you the best of both worlds really. However, nothing is perfect, so what’s the downside of choosing a corner bathroom suite?

The first problem that springs to mind is the lack of room to lie down! Corner baths tend to offer a lot of width but not much length, a problem that is magnified in the smaller models. If you have long legs, you can kiss goodbye to those long hot soaks you so enjoy!

A secondary problem is water. Our water bills nowadays are going up month by month it seems and a corner bath will add to that household expense. The average standard rectangular bath needs 155 litres for a standard fill where as a corner bath needs an unbelievable 210 litres that may not sound like much of a difference but if you add this up over the year and multiply that by the amount you pay per unit of water it may give you a surprising result and that doesn’t allow for the additional energy required to heat all that water.

A popular choice instead of the standard corner bath is the offset corner bath. The offset bath fits into the corner but has one side that is longer, these come in both right and left hand designs to fit all bathrooms, so what ever you do make sure you know which is needed before purchase!

With the offset suite having one side that is longer it will mean that you can stretch out and relax in the bath as well as have a bath that looks the

If you do decide on the corner bath suite and lets face it they just look great when installed, you will need to consider whether it needs to be offset. The corner bath panel is not a universal, they are designed to fit only the one model of bath so although you will not need it straight away I would always advise buying an additional facia panel and hiding it in the loft, there will I am sure become a day when the plastic or wood gets a know and cracks it. These baths after a few years can sometimes get replaced and updated so can be hard to come by new panels for your corner suite.

I think you will agree that a corner bathroom suite looks great, but just use the information above as a guide to some of the pitfalls and once you are happy purchase, install and enjoy!

Balterley Spirit Bathroom Suite £587

Do you despair of finding anything to fit into your really tiny bathroom?   Anguish no more!  The Balterley Spirit Suite is just the thing: the bath included with the Spirit suite is the Niche 1500 spacesaver, small enough for even the most compact space.  Add to that the Micro brassware and you’ll find you have room to spare.  Who would have thought it?  If you’re not keen on the Balterley, how about the Foxglove Shower Bath Suite – another bathroom suite designed with today’s smaller rooms in mind.  Or there’s the Ramor, the Wilton… you will be just amazed at the choice of smaller suites we have put together for you. 

Of course, choose well and you can have a big bath in a small space.  Doesn’t make sense?  Think in terms of water volume rather than the bath footprint, then take a look at the Finn range of corner suites, which come in both right hand and left hand options – so much water in so little space!
