At Bathshop321 we’re proud to offer a multitude of bathroom solutions aimed at the space-conscious. Making the most of a small area is just a matter of carefully selecting the best fixtures and fittings for the job and ensuring they are positioned in the most effective formation. By opting for a corner bath suite for instance, you utilise space which may otherwise have been wasted, meaning more usable space- which is particularly useful when the bathroom area is smaller than average. If a more conventional shaped, or P shape bath is more to your taste, then we offer the option of a 1500mm or 1700mm length bath with many of our suites: allowing you to choose the most suitable size for the space you have available. In addition to providing customisable options to make a suite the perfect fit for your bathroom, at Bathshop321 we stock a number of small bathroom suites to suit specific applications.

Our small bathroom suites come in a variety of forms and guises and all have been put together with the intention of getting the most out of a limited space without sacrificing function or style. From compact space saving bathroom suites which come complete with bath and shower facilities, through to the ideal en suite option of shower enclosure suites which just include those fixtures required to put together a wash space: we have numerous niche small bathroom suites at Bathshop321. Equally, if you’re looking to transform a space under the stairs or underused cloakroom into a supplementary washroom facility then our Cloakroom Suites are precisely what you’re after: combining all the necessary fixtures and fittings (and at an incredibly low price).

A small bathroom doesn’t have to mean a limited bathroom suite. By combining a compact bath with an incorporated shower unit and slim-line basin and sanitaryware, almost any bathroom can be stylishly rejuvenated- without eating up all the available floor space. Our space saver bathroom suites assemble these components perfectly and as small bathroom suites go; you’d be hard pressed to find better value, quality or design.

Walk in showers are a trendy new option if you Are remodeling your bathroom. They are available in many shapes, sizes, designs and price ranges. Walk in showers look very cool, but they also offer several advantages over traditional shower bath combinations.

A walk in shower is basically a shower you walk right into. They are a much easier alternative than stepping in and out of a bath to take a shower. When installed in a bathroom that features a wet floor, there is no need to step up or over anything at all to enter a walk in shower. This is a safer and much easier option for anyone who has difficulties climbing in and out of baths or even stepping up to enter a traditional type of shower stall.

Extra space is another advantage of walk in showers. Although there are walk in showers that are designed to suit small spaces, all designs attempt to provide as much room as possible in the shower. Having more space in the shower serves several purposes:

• You can move around freely without feeling cramped or confined.

• The extra space in a walk in shower tends to make people feel more relaxed.

• Showering is enjoyable instead of a chore you rush to get through.

• Walk in showers are easier to clean. Imagine wiping down a wall instead of scrubbing a bathtub.

• Walk in showers feature a drying area so you don't have to soak a bathroom mat or your floor drying off.

Walk in showers definitely add a lot of class to a bathroom. They look great with practically any type of décor, and they are available in a huge range of styles. If you do some shopping online, you will easily find the perfect walk in shower for your bathroom space and your price range.

In addition to size and style, you will have to decide whether you want a walk in shower with a tray floor or if you would prefer to have a wet floor installed. With a wet floor, your water drain is right in the bathroom floor. You don't have to step up or over anything to enter a walk in shower with a wet floor. While it will cost more to install a wet floor, many people prefer the look of a walk in shower with a wet floor and feel the price is worth it. In addition, anyone who has trouble walking will find a wet floor is much more convenient.

If you are concerned about someone in your household who has mobility problems, a walk in shower is a great choice. In addition to being easy to walk into, many designs also feature attractive seating areas. You can choose a walk in shower with a seat in the drying area or even in the shower area. Handrails in walk in showers make showering even easier. Walk in showers can be customised to suit your individual preferences and tastes. You can choose a walk in shower for two, with two separate showerheads. You could install a sky light to let in natural light.

The most important thing to consider when choosing and installing a walk in shower is what you really want and will love to have for years to come. Walk in showers don not have to cost a fortune, but they do typically involve a bigger investment than a traditional shower and bathtub combination. Take your time shopping for walk in showers and exploring all of your options. Once you find a style you like and that will be suitable for your bathroom space, it is easy to compare prices and find the best place to buy your new shower.

Showers are a great way to start the day, highly convenient, space-saving and energy efficient. Using on average only one fifth of a typical bathful of water, they’re great for the environment.

Before you choose a shower, you need to check your water pressure and consider how much space you have. You’ll also need to choose between a mixer, power or electric shower.

Checking Your Water Pressure

You’ll need to find out what sort of hot water supply you have, as this will have an effect on your shower choice. Combination boilers give the highest water pressure, and will work well with mixer showers that need the hot and cold water supplies at equal pressure.

You’ll enjoy a reasonably powerful shower if your home has a gravity-fed, low-pressure water system where hot water is stored in a tank in airing cupboard, and the cold water comes from a loft based tank. However there has to be a one meter drop to the top of the shower head from the bottom of the cold tank.

If you have experience problems here, it’s an idea to raise the cold water tank by placing it on a small, sturdy platform, alternatively you can add a pump to boost the pressure, or possibly choose a power shower with an inbuilt pump.

Space Saving Considerations

Depending on how much space is available in your bathroom, you could choose a separate shower enclosure or opt for an over-the-bath shower.

Different Types of Showers

Mixer Showers
Mixer showers are ideal for homes with high-pressure systems, as a mixer shower takes water from both supplies, and mixes them to reach the required temperature. These showers are ideal for homes which have no problems with hot water supply.

Your options here are either surface mounted models with easily installed pipework on your existing surface, or otherwise flush mounted, where the pipe is hidden but the valve can be seen.

Thermostatic Mixer Shower
An inbuilt thermostat makes sure that water temperature remains constant via a thermostatic control, and this shower might also include a shut down feature activated if there is a dramatic change in water flow.

This is a good choice for family homes and safe for young children because the inbuilt control ensures that the temperature of the water isn’t affected by water usage elsewhere in the home.

Also, look out for models with a remote control option which allows the heat and control units to remain separate, meaning the control unit is housed inside the shower, with the heat unit being kept elsewhere, offering you more space.

Power Showers
A power shower takes water from both the cold and hot water supplies, mixes them together to reach the perfect temperature and then boosts the water flow rate via the use of an electric pump.

They are very easy to operate and offer greater control than a standard mixer shower. This gives a terrific shower experience.

Though they offer a nicer shower, they aren’t as good for the environment as they use almost three times the amount of water.

Electric Showers
Electric showers take water from the mains cold water supply, and heat up only the amount needed each time making them suitable for any domestic water system. This is highly economical and suitable for busy family bathrooms.

The higher the flow of water at the required temperature depends on the KW rating so look out for this.

A stabiliser ensures the temperature and water supply remains unaffected by water usage elsewhere in the home so look out for models with one of these.

Shower Towers
Offering a luxurious full body shower, you’ll love showering in a shower tower. These modern showers feature directional jets, rather than a single fixed head, and this gives the benefit of cleaning and massaging the whole body. You’ll need a high pressure for this type of shower to perform well.
