A Complete Bathroom Refurbishment in Russel Square

This Russell Square bathroom renovation involved transforming a compact and outdated layout into a premium, functional space with refined styling. The room posed several challenges common to older London properties – including limited floor space, poor ventilation, and the need for full rewiring to meet modern safety standards. The existing walls and flooring were not level, requiring extensive surface preparation and self-levelling to allow for clean tile installation. Additionally, the client’s design vision called for integrating high-end gold fixtures, which required precision installation and custom fittings. Working within such a confined footprint also demanded smart fixture positioning and efficient storage solutions to ensure usability without overcrowding.

To deliver a flawless result and meet the client’s design goals, our team completed the following:

• Full Bathroom Strip-Out – We safely removed all previous fixtures, fittings, tiles, pipework, and plasterboard back to bare structure.

• New Electrical Wiring & Spot Lighting – Installed from scratch to support downlights and future-ready safe electrics.

• Ceiling Replacement – We rebuilt the ceiling with moisture-resistant plasterboard, integrating a vent fan and recessed lights.

• Precision Wall & Floor Levelling – Carried out using self-levelling compound and cement boards for a perfect tile finish.

• Premium Gold Fixtures & Accessories – Installed a coordinated set of brushed gold tapware, towel rail, shower kit, and fittings.

• Walk-In Shower with Sliding Door – Custom-fit to maximise access while minimising obstruction in a tight layout.

• Wall-Hung Sanitaryware & Vanity – A compact floating toilet and basin unit created better clearance and cleaner lines.

• Large Mirror Cabinet with Storage – Installed flush with the wall to increase perceived depth and maintain functionality.

• Removal of old plumbing, electrics, and tiles down to base layers
• Installation of moisture-resistant ceiling with integrated LED lighting and extractor
• Complete electrical rewire with new switches and fixtures
• Wall and floor surface levelling for flat tile alignment
• Bespoke fitting of high-gloss marble-effect tiles with minimal grout joints
• Full supply and installation of gold-finish brassware and accessories
• Compact layout planning to suit a small-space bathroom
• Precision installation of wall-hung toilet, vanity, and walk-in shower
• Custom glass screen cut to fit around existing structural details
• All materials sourced, supplied, and installed by our in-house team

The finished renovation in Russell Square delivers a sleek, space-efficient bathroom that blends modern style with practical upgrades. By working with a tight floorplan, we strategically positioned every element to maximise functionality without compromising elegance. The use of marble-effect tiles, a floating vanity, and wall-hung sanitaryware creates a sense of openness in a small space. The integration of gold fixtures throughout-including the towel rail, shower system, and tapware-adds a cohesive, luxurious finish. With new ceiling installation, recessed LED lighting, and upgraded ventilation, the room now feels bright, balanced, and easy to maintain. The result is a high-end renovation that feels refined, functional, and perfectly tailored to the home’s character.
