Bathrooms Stapleford
Our showroom is on Derby Road. If you live in Stapleford you have driven past it, probably today.
That is the whole pitch, and it is a practical one rather than a sales one. You can walk in without an appointment, stand under a running shower, open the drawers on eight different furniture ranges, and go home and think about it. If you decide to go ahead, we survey the same week rather than fitting you into a route, and if something needs adjusting on fitting day the workshop is five minutes away rather than an hour.
Modern & Traditional Bathrooms
Bramcote, Nottingham
The showroom is on Derby Road, in Stapleford. If you live here, you have driven past it.
That changes how a bathroom gets chosen. Rather than deciding from a brochure, you can stand under the Aqualisa Midas 220 while it is running, open the drawers on eight furniture ranges, go home and think about it, and come back tomorrow. No appointment, and no drive.
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the old town centre generally have the bathroom in a rear addition running down the plot, narrow, one external wall, a small window onto the yard.
A run of fitted furniture along the longer wall with the cistern concealed inside it suits that shape far better than a conventional three-piece layout, which leaves you edging round the bath.
If something needs adjusting on fitting day we are not an hour away, and we can usually survey within the same week rather than fitting you into a route.

Stapleford bathrooms
The town is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the old centre, interwar semis on the outskirts, and postwar estate housing beyond.
In the terraces, the bathroom was added later over the rear outrigger — narrow, one external wall, a small window onto the yard, and the coldest room in the house because it was built on rather than built in. A run of fitted furniture down the longer wall with the WC boxed into it, and the shower at the far end, uses that shape properly. Trying to place a conventional three-piece suite in a room that narrow leaves you edging round the bath.
Much of this older stock is solid brick rather than cavity, so a bathroom on an external wall runs colder and shows condensation sooner. Insulated backer board behind the tiling is usually worth including — far cheaper done during the work than retrofitted.
In the interwar and postwar housing, bathrooms are squarer, upstairs and part of the original build. Where there is a separate WC next door — very common — knocking the two together is the single best improvement available, and it is generally a stud wall rather than anything structural.

Ventilation, in outrigger bathrooms particularly
One external wall, a small window, and the room furthest from the heating. Without extraction ducted properly to the outside on a run-on timer, the moisture goes into the plaster and the paint lifts within two winters, usually on the wall opposite the window.
An extractor ducted into a loft void is not a solution, and we still find them.

Traditional Bathroom Furniture
What is on display, five minutes from your house. Traditional: Chiltern and Brecon. Chiltern Hunter Green and Brecon Marine Blue hold their depth in the terraced bathrooms where the light is poor. Modern: Levanto Graphite , Selter Slate and Bowland Metallic Slate darker; Amaro White Gloss and Selter Lagoon Mist brighter; Pentland Shale in between. Bowland Blueberry and Bowland Seabreeze photograph flatter than they are. We are an Aqualisa dealer and the Midas 220 is live on the wall — you can stand under it before you buy it. Slate Mist, Basalt Mist and Shale all read as the same grey on a screen and look nothing alike in person. That is the entire reason a showroom is worth having, and yours is on Derby Road.
