Begin with the bath or shower, WC and basin because their sizes and waste positions control the layout. Add furniture, heating and accessories after checking clearances.
Sanitaryware and Fittings for Complete Room Refits
A bathroom refit brings several decisions together: sanitaryware, water supply, drainage, storage and the finishing details. MacBlair stocks bathroom basins, toilets and cisterns for new layouts or replacement work, with options for main bathrooms, en suites and cloakrooms.
Start with the room measurements and the position of existing pipework. The bath, shower and WC determine how the space works, while bathroom storage units need enough clearance for doors, drawers and plumbing connections. Check product dimensions before ordering, including projection from the wall.
Water pressure and the hot-water system affect the choice of shower equipment and taps. Match the brassware to the number of tap holes in the basin or bath, then confirm waste and overflow requirements with the installer.
Finish the room with heated towel rails and practical accessories. Electrical work, waterproofing and alterations to supply or waste pipes should be planned before tiling begins.
