Modern Walk-In Shower Bathroom with Wall Panels

At DSB Bathrooms, we specialise in transforming outdated bathrooms into stylish, functional spaces designed for modern living. This recent project showcases a complete bathroom renovation, combining high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and a sleek contemporary design.

The Client Brief

The client wanted to upgrade their existing bathroom into a modern, low-maintenance space with a clean and sophisticated finish. Key priorities included:

• A contemporary design with premium finishes
• Improved layout and usability
• Durable, easy-to-clean materials
• A bold aesthetic using black fixtures and slate tones

Full Bathroom Strip-Out & Preparation

The project began with a complete removal of the existing bathroom, including:

• All sanitaryware
• Wall and floor tiles
• Shower area studwork and boxing
• Radiator and redundant pipework

To maintain efficiency and reduce unnecessary costs, several structural elements were retained, including the ceiling, lighting, and key architectural features.

All waste was professionally handled through our rubbish removal and disposal service, ensuring a clean and compliant working environment throughout.

Plumbing & Building Works

A full first fix was carried out to reconfigure the plumbing system and prepare for the new layout. This included:

• Adjusting hot and cold water supplies for a concealed shower valve
• Installing pipework beneath the floor for a new heated towel radiator
• Concealing pipework within newly constructed stud walls
• Safely capping off redundant connections

Additional building work included:

• Constructing new studwork to form the shower area
• Boarding and reinforcing walls ready for finishes
• Plastering to achieve a smooth, high-quality surface
• Waterproof tanking in all wet areas to ensure long-term durability

Electrical Improvements

Electrical works were completed to modernise and improve functionality within the space:

• Removal and safe isolation of redundant electrical components
• Adaptation of existing connections for a LED mirror cabinet
• Relocation of the pull cord to a more practical external switch position

These upgrades improved both usability and safety while supporting the new layout.

Contemporary Shower Installation

A key feature of this renovation is the modern walk-in shower, designed for both style and practicality.

Features include:

• Large anti-slip stone resin shower tray
• Seamless shower wall panels in a granite finish
• Black trims and fittings for a bold, modern look
• High-performance black shower system with drencher head
• Sleek wetroom-style glass screen

The use of wall panels instead of tiles creates a low-maintenance, grout-free finish, perfect for busy households.

Stylish Sanitaryware & Fixtures

The bathroom was completed with a coordinated suite of modern fittings:

• Floor-standing vanity unit in slate grey
• Matching WC unit with concealed cistern
• Rimless back-to-wall toilet with soft-close seat
• Matt black basin mixer tap and accessories

This combination creates a clean, minimalist aesthetic with a high-end feel.

Heating Upgrade

To enhance comfort and complement the design, the heating system was upgraded with:

• A modern black heated towel radiator
• Additional radiator with matching black valves

This ensures efficient heating while maintaining visual consistency.

Luxury LVT Flooring

The finishing touch was the installation of Click Lux LVT flooring in a weathered ash finish, offering:

• Excellent durability and water resistance
• A natural wood-effect appearance
• A warm contrast to the darker bathroom features

The Finished Result

This transformation delivers a sleek, modern bathroom that is both practical and visually striking.

Key benefits include:

• A contemporary, high-end design
• Easy-to-maintain surfaces throughout
• Improved layout and functionality
• Durable materials built to last
