Top Plumbing Tips From Collins Plumbing & Gas For Renovating Your Bathroom

The bathroom is usually the most popular room in the home, providing a place to kick back, relax and refresh, and we all probably spend more time in there than we could like to admit. However, it would come as no surprise that when it comes to renovating our bathroom, there are so many things to consider, we need to consult with an expert, and Collins Plumbing & Gas are there to help with everything to do with your bathroom renovation.

From the fit out, to the tiles, the lighting, to the toilet, and all the extras to consider, like heated floors and maybe even a bidet, it is good to have someone on hand to advise you, and even more important than all these considerations is the plumbing, which people often forget. This is the backbone of your bathroom and should be considered just as important.

Plumbing is what makes the magic of the bathroom happen, so it’s important to get these things right, such as making sure the fittings work. When you’re shopping for bathroom fittings like a shower head, make sure that you know they will work with the plumbing. For example, let’s say you want to buy a rain shower head, consult with Collins Plumbing & Gas to make sure that the rain shower caters to the water pressure that you currently have. This is the same for mixers, taps, etc.

Similarly, when choosing your fittings and systems, like toilets and sinks, think about whether or not you want exposed or hidden plumbing. Exposed plumbing can give you a more traditional or industrial feel, and possibly more space, whereas hidden plumbing is cleaner-looking.

When renovating your bathroom, the walls and floors and clean lines will likely have been opened, so you should consider the added luxury and value of underfloor heating from a hydronic combined hot water heating system. Pipes and panels can be retrofitted to the floors and walls to heat your bathroom through the tiled, concrete or timber floors. You can also add in a hydronic heated radiator towel rail or two. These additions can take a renovation from being just about style and modernising the space to a fully functional and luxurious experience in a room you won’t want to leave.
