Bathroom and Cloakroom Refurbishment | Leeds | More Bathrooms

Published: 6 May 2025

Renovation Brief

Mr. and Mrs. Swallow booked a free design appointment online for an extensive multi-room refurbishment project in their Leeds home. Their vision included the full renovation of the main bathroom and downstairs cloakroom, alongside an essential boiler update. Central to their bathroom goals was the desire for a separate shower area, which required a thoughtful reconfiguration of the existing space.

The removal of an outdated cylinder cupboard—which previously dominated the bathroom footprint—along with the blocking of its adjoining hallway door, unlocked additional space. This layout transformation provided the opportunity to deliver on the couple’s ambition for both a bath and a generous shower enclosure within the same room.

Bathroom Design

Senior Designer Simon expertly reorganised the bathroom layout to optimise flow and functionality. A luxurious double-ended bath was installed wall-to-wall beneath the rear window, nestled into a custom-built plinth for a sleek, integrated appearance.

The repositioning of the WC required innovative design thinking—its back-to-wall configuration was achieved with cleverly designed boxing to conceal the soil pipe seamlessly.

The newly freed-up space accommodated a striking 1200mm shower enclosure, using the frameless Momentum door system to maintain a light and open feel. A Marbond slate-effect shower tray echoed the tones of the new concrete-effect flooring, providing cohesion and contemporary flair.

On the opposite wall, a wall-hung Boston Concrete vanity unit completed the suite, delivering modern functionality with bold design appeal.

For wall finishes, half-height cladding was chosen in Zest white marble-effect shower panels, offering a stylish grout-free solution. The subtle grey veining in the wall boards tied in beautifully with the flooring and furniture, while the upper walls were painted to create contrast and a homely finish.

Cloakroom Refurbishment

Downstairs, the cloakroom also received a stylish upgrade. A compact cloakroom vanity unit was installed to maximise space and add storage. Fixtures were modernised throughout, while hallway flooring was replaced as part of the broader renovation, ensuring a cohesive flow between the newly updated rooms.

Bathroom and Cloakroom Installation

Following Simon’s detailed plans, Installations Surveyor Joe conducted a comprehensive technical survey to prepare the project for seamless execution. Multi-Skilled Fitter Louis took on the installation, applying expert precision and care to bring both rooms to life. The result was a smooth and efficient fully project managed transformation, with every detail carefully considered.

5-Star Customer Review

“Nice people, regular updates, good, experienced worker/trades, clean and tidy, all good.”

Mr. and Mrs. Swallow were pleased with the communication throughout the project and praised the professionalism and cleanliness of the installation team. Their positive experience received via a 5* Trust Pilot review reflected the commitment of the entire More Bathrooms team to delivering high-quality service and craftsmanship.

Conclusion

This Leeds-based renovation project showcases how comprehensive planning, and smart design can unlock the potential of even the most complex spaces. By removing unused features, rethinking layout, and incorporating stylish yet practical finishes, Simon, Joe, and Louis delivered a refined and functional bathroom and cloakroom transformation tailored perfectly to the Swallows’ needs.
