Our clients, long-time residents of their charming home in Powmill, Perthshire, decided it was time for a modern bathroom renovation to transform their outdated space into a fresh and stylish one. While they had an idea of the style they wanted, they were seeking additional inspiration and design ideas to bring their vision to life, as well as a company that could handle all aspects of the project.
Eager to explore modern bathroom renovation options, our clients visited our Perth bathroom showroom. They were impressed by the high-quality products and stunning bathroom designs we displayed. After seeing the attention to detail showcased in our showroom, they felt confident in our ability to bring their dream modern bathroom to reality. Inspired and excited, they entrusted us with their bathroom renovation, inviting us to survey their Perthshire property.
Modern Bathroom Renovation Brief
Our client’s desire was clear, they wanted a modern bathroom renovation with a built-in bath and a large shower area with an overhead rain shower. They also desired a fully tiled bathroom with fitted furniture storage that wouldn’t clutter their space. They wanted a more natural colour scheme with soothing tones to complement the fixtures.
Bathroom Survey
We arranged for our team to visit our client’s home. During the survey, our team carefully measured the bathroom space while engaging in a relaxed and friendly conversation. This approach allowed us to understand their style preferences and bathroom design choices, as well as their needs and product preferences, ensuring we designed a truly bespoke modern bathroom.
3D Bathroom Design For The Perfect Modern Bathroom Layout
Redesigning the bathroom layout was vital to creating a space that fully reflects the design brief. An awkward ‘L’ shaped room with a coombe and old pipe work to conceal, our expert designers carefully reimagined the space using our advanced CAD system, to ensure every detail from the client’s brief was implemented. The new design relocated the shower enclosure away from the coombe to provide a more luxurious space, and a special hexagonal bath for an elegant bathing experience, offering a sumptuous modern bathroom style.
The bathroom was fully tiled with a two-tone colour scheme, creating a sleek and elegant look. All products and fixtures were integrated into the 3D design, providing a realistic preview. Our client was highly impressed with the design, layout, and colour scheme. They appreciated our selection of high-quality products and finishing. After requesting a few minor tweaks, which were promptly implemented, they approved the installation of their contemporary bathroom.

Preparation for the Contemporary Bathroom Installation in Perth
With our client’s approval, access to their home was arranged through the front entrance for the duration of the bathroom renovation. We carefully covered surfaces with dust sheets and cling film to protect the property, ensuring no damage or dust spread throughout the home. Mindful of our client’s two dogs, we adjusted to create a pet-friendly work environment. An 8-yard skip was provided to efficiently remove old sanitary ware, tiles, flooring, and all renovation debris, including packaging from the new products.
Our Bathroom Renovation Approach And Product Selection.
Shower Area
We recommended a full-width shower enclosure to create a more spacious and comfortable shower area. This approach maximised the shower space while maintaining a sleek, modern bathroom look. We installed a 1600 x 900 mm White Alpin rectangular shower tray paired with a Matki Eauzone Plus sliding door with a stylish chrome frame. For added convenience, a built-in shower recess provided practical storage for bottles and shampoo, keeping the shower area organised and clutter-free.
We fitted a ceiling-mounted arm and deluge head from Crosswater, delivering the luxurious feel of an overhead rain shower. The design team selected all shower brassware, including fixtures and fittings, from Crosswater and finished it in chrome to complement the design colour and ensure seamless functionality.
Bath Area
We selected the Squaro Hexagonal Bath from Villeroy & Boch for the bath area, which has a spacious design and exceptional comfort. We installed an extended Click Clack Waste and a Fusion 2 Handle Trimset, finished in sleek chrome to ensure seamless functionality. A corner bulkhead was created above the bath to add style and practicality, providing additional storage while enhancing the overall design.
Vanity Unit Area
A spacious Brecon bathroom furniture unit was installed, featuring a soft granite finish and ample storage options. Above the vanity unit, we fitted an HIB Vega 60 Mirror (80 x 60 x 5.5 cm) with LED illumination, adding a modern style and enhancing the bathroom lighting. To complete the modern bathroom renovation, the team seamlessly integrated a back-to-wall rimless WC pan and paired it with a Geberit low-height cistern, achieving a sleek, space-saving design.
Our Team of Expert Bathroom Fitters
Plumbing Work
Our skilled plumbers modified the hot, cold, and drainage systems to accommodate the new sanitary ware and shower installations. All pipework was carefully concealed for a sleek and luxurious finish. The towel rails were repositioned and securely re-fitted to complement the updated layout. Once the installation was complete, our plumbers thoroughly tested all brassware and sanitary fixtures to ensure everything was functioning perfectly.
Joiner Work
The joinery work focused on structural preparation and finishing touches, including the bulkhead for an elegant bathing area, and a recess created in the shower space for practical storage. Our joiners ensured all walls were plumb and the new floor level was achieved before the tiling and final finish stages.
As this room was in the original section of an old building, the bathroom floor had been poorly prepared over existing joints, so our joiners enhanced the structure with cross-batons prior to the installation of a new floor. This ensured the client’s confidence in their property, and the floor was suitable to accept the elegant tile finish.
Electrical Works
Electricians installed new wiring to support the LED mirror with an integrated shaver point, modernising the bathroom and enhancing convenience. They retained the existing lighting, switches, and extractor fan system to maintain continuity with the original design while upgrading the space for the modern renovation.
Tiling Work
The tilers completed the work to the highest standards, ensuring durability and a flawless finish. They expertly prepared and installed wall tiles, including the window sill, to full height throughout the room. They also laid floor tiles across the entire space and added tiled skirting upstands for an elegant touch.
The installers fully waterproofed the shower area, including joint taping, to ensure long-lasting protection against moisture. They installed underfloor heating to add luxury and deliver consistent comfort and warmth. They also finished the recessed work with flat chrome profile trim, contributing a sleek, modern touch to the overall design.
Conclusion
We couldn’t have asked for a better client to work with on this modern bathroom renovation in Perth. Their trust in our expertise, clear vision, and positive attitude made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. It was truly rewarding to bring their ideas to life and create a space that perfectly reflects their style.
