Scope of Works
This complete bathroom refurbishment in Croydon, London was designed and installed by experienced bathroom fitters specialising in modern, high-quality renovations. The project involved a full strip-out and transformation of the existing space into a contemporary marble-inspired bathroom with premium fixtures and finishes.
Large-format porcelain wall tiles create a seamless luxury appearance, complemented by a wall-hung vanity unit, LED illuminated mirror and frameless glass shower enclosure. Concealed Grohe shower controls and chrome fittings enhance the clean, minimalist aesthetic while ensuring reliable long-term performance.
All plumbing, waterproofing and electrical installations were completed in accordance with UK building regulations. The result is a bright, elegant and highly functional bathroom renovation in Croydon that combines durability with modern design.

Design Choices & Premium Materials
Every element of this Croydon bathroom renovation was chosen to balance aesthetics with practicality. The large-format marble-effect porcelain tiles create a seamless, luxurious appearance while being significantly more durable and lower maintenance than natural marble. The minimal grout lines not only look cleaner but also reduce long-term cleaning effort.
The wall-hung vanity unit was a deliberate design choice — by mounting the unit off the floor, we created a sense of openness and made the bathroom feel more spacious. The integrated basin provides clean lines, while the storage beneath keeps everyday essentials neatly organised.
For the shower, we specified a Grohe concealed thermostatic valve system, widely regarded as one of the most reliable shower systems available. The concealed installation keeps the visual profile minimal, with only the chrome controls visible against the tiled wall. A frameless glass shower enclosure maintains the open, airy feel throughout the room.
Lighting & Heating
The LED backlit mirror serves as both a functional piece and a design statement, providing even, shadow-free illumination ideal for daily grooming. We installed IP-rated LED downlights throughout the ceiling for ambient lighting, all controlled by a dimmer switch for flexibility.
The chrome heated towel radiator provides dual-purpose functionality — keeping towels warm and dry while also heating the bathroom. Positioned for easy access from both the shower and vanity, it adds a touch of hotel-quality luxury to everyday routines.
